The Innkeeper’s Song (1993) is set in a richly imagined world where three women with magical pasts converge at an inn, drawn together by events tied to their former teacher. The novel weaves multiple narrators together and has a slow, deliberate pace that rewards patient readers.

Giant Bones (1997) is a collection of six novellas set in the same world, exploring characters and corners of the setting that the novel only hinted at. Return (2010) revisits the world again in shorter form. Together, these books form a small but memorable body of work that fans of literary fantasy should not overlook.
