About the Author
The Shamrock and The Feather is Dori Dalton's premiere novel and brings to life her knowledge and passion for photography, the West, and mysticism. Her gift of storytelling was inherited from her parents and is illustrative of her German-Irish heritage. She has lived in Hawaii, Texas, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and presently, New Mexico. She considers herself a true “four corners” native, and her love of the region and its people, folklore, and sacred sites are vividly captured in her poetic writing style. Dori has co-written articles for the Santa Fean magazine, and currently works for a national non-profit organization dedicated to environmental and social restoration. Her second novel, a sequel to The Shamrock and The Feather, is presently underway.

Together with her husband, acclaimed jazz pianist Bert Dalton, they combined their creative talents to produce this unique reading and listening experience.  

The Daltons currently live in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with their two cats, Bob and Fat Man, and the alleged Pomeranian, Jeremiah.

Aside from finding it in the attic of her family home in Maine, Geneva provides her friend with very little information. Victoria, however, remains intrigued and asks if she can bring it to the table.
