Magdalen Dugan

Magdalen Dugan grew up writing poetry in Orchard Park, New York in the 1960's and 1970's. Her first novel, Breathing: The Way, first in the series In Heaven or on Earth, is about the effects of those turbulent and potentially creative times on the lives of three friends trying to establish their adult lives. The second novel in the series, Homeless: The Truth? follows the main character, Tricia Riley, through two trying years in a new age cult. In the third book, The Way: The Life, Tricia finds and follows a path to establish meaning in her life. Anticipate the fourth in fall of 2025!

Other publications include an historical novel, Lift My Eyes, available on Amazon, and two collections of poetry: Phoenix (2004) and Gleaning (2013). She has contributed poetry and nonfiction to periodicals such as Epiphany Journal, Tree of Life, and City Canticle.
