Lizard Woman — (1985)

By Frank Waters

“The prose of Frank Waters seems almost as timeless as the Southwest of which he writes so elegantly and so eloquently…The Lizard Woman is the story of a journey, and of a discovery. It is a brief, but powerful and compelling story.”

Jerry Keenan — Colorado Libraries

First published in 1930 under the title Fever Pitch, The Lizard Woman is Frank Waters’ first novel. It foreshadows a theme central to Waters’ later work: that we must attune our spirits to the land to fully understand our places in the natural order.
