This book consists of a collection of devotions, poems, and true life experiences that I have taken from my private prayer journal. Some of these experiences were joyful and others were very painful. I stand in awe that God took time to speak to me personally in what were seemingly the most ordinary circumstances of my life. Although I am a work in progress, I feel his love and acceptance in spite of my weaknesses and shortcomings. This book is not meant to be a typical daily devotional book. It was written with the prayer that each of the writings in this collection would speak to you, the reader, in a very personal and timely manner, from my heart to yours.

For use in schools and libraries only. After the unicorn Moonsilver is injured by a hunter's arrow, Heart returns to her village to seek the aid of the healer, Ruth Oakes, but unbeknownst to her, the villainous Lord Dunraven has learned of Moonsilver's existence.
Slender Silver Birch whispered secrets to a flock of noisy sparrows, arrowing like darts into the depths of ancient twisted limbs; the last leaves clinging stubbornly, shaken loose circling, drifting down to join their sibling on the earth to begin the journey to mulch-hood. It was cold but the sounds of nature were undiminished; a ravens caw, a kookaburras contagious chuckle and the sweet, melodic call of a thrush echoed across the garden to the silent group sitting beneath the canopy of branches, soaking up the suns last warmth before winters final grip held the earth in stasis. Flora, Samantha, Maeve and the group who had assembled around them were tired and confused, not knowing if the outcome of their ritual, woven with the intention to locate Sybille on Samhain eve had been successful and knowing that much rode on it. They had all witnessed things they could not put name to and so much more had to their frustration, been hidden from sight as they stood backs turned to the events unfolding in the circle. Who was the small creature, Maeve saw watching her with such cold intensity? Where did Bethan go in that brief moment she vanished? Who are the enigmatic Dark Fae, waiting in the wings for any of them to make just one small slip? dare you walk the between, in the places unseen will you dare to engage with your shade will you walk, will you stray senses lost on the way with the mists calling home will you wander alone dare you walk the between unafraid the story continues after the Samhain Rite
High above the clouds in a place no mortal has ever seen, there is a Scale of Life that is held in balance with stones of happiness and sorrow. The Keeper of the Scales sees impending disaster for Drew Bishop and heaves a huge sigh. He places a rose-colored stone on the happiness side of Drew's scale, but it is not enough. The danger is too great. When Drew Bishop's wife is killed in a random act of violence, he is left with a traumatized daughter and a job teetering on the brink of disaster. He believes this is as bad as it can get, but he is wrong. Now the Keeper must scan the vast landscape of lives to find a silver thread to ease Drew's pain. That is the only chance Drew has for happiness, and the Keeper knows it. He is powerless to do anything else; instead, he can only wait and hope the thread spools into happiness for Drew and his little girl.
