Gail Strickland loves music, art, writing and languages. She has spent her life performing as a pianist in cabarets in San Francisco, symphonic orchestras and a little known eclectic country rock band called The Prairie Dogs. During forty-five years as a piano teacher who loves helping children discover music, Gail also pursued her passion for languages and foreign lands. She lived for months in Greece and Ireland and studied as an AFS Student in Stuttgart, Germany. In college she spent her time translating Homer and reading French philosophers. But beyond her love for all the arts, Gail has always sought the magic that lingers between the words, within the silent void we cannot paint or play or write. Only know. Gail has completed a novel set in ancient Greece, Night of Pan and is currently working on a novel about the Dirty War in Argentina called Monasteries for the Mad.
