Living abroad and traveling throughout Spain and Italy enabled the author to
satisfy a life-long genetic pull, to come home to the land of her ancestors.
Lured to a simpler way of life, the four years she spent living in the Canary
Islands afforded her the opportunity to experience that life first hand, as well
as to study the island’s indigenous Guanche culture. It was there she discovered
how isolating an island can be as the unanticipated care-giver in LESSONS IN
PARADISE.
Ms. Concodora has an M.F.A. from Virginia Commonwealth University. She enjoys
T’ai Chi, working out and playing pool. The author lives in
Richmond, Virginia and has two daughters.
