Cog Stone Dreams

Cog Stone Dreams is a whimsical look at 9,000 years of history of the Bolsa Chica wetlands area of Southern California, its original inhabitants, Spanish explorers, the gun club that almost ruined it, and contemporary issues. Set in fictional Westbruk, Dessa, an advice columnist of 'Dessa Dreams' really does dream -- not ordinary, flying backwards and upside down coyote dreams, -- but about smugglers, wise grandmothers, royal family members pretending to be commoners, rich people who live the high life, poor people who catch malaria, and other magically real, historical and predictive forecasts about the Westbruk estuarial wetlands.
