Currently offering:
"George Eliot Lives: Parallels Across Time" Arresting!(Newly revised and expanded!) There's nothing like it on the market today! The story begins when Freda has a strange encounter in her library involving Eliot's book, "The Mill on the Floss." She reads the book and learns that her life is similar to George Eliot's! Then she reads every Eliot book that she can get her hands on, watches every movie created from her novel plots, reads her biographies with mouth hanging open in disbelief, searches her own life to determine every parallel,and asks what message lies hidden in the synchronus events surrounding her life as juxtaposed with Eliot's! She has no choice but to relive George Eliot! A true story you will never forget!

"The Mill on the Floss" Project:
I am honored to share some of my work and findings with Dr. Klaus Heinemann,Ph.D. co-author of The Orb Project. Dr. Heinemann and his wife, Gundi, have written a new book, "ORBS: Their Mission and Messages of Hope" for which they have so graciously allowed me to play a part.
What a joy to share ideas with Dr. Reece Manley while editing his book and writing the Foreword for "Crossing Twice: Answers from the Source." This book shares his near death experiences, and tells a story of recovery through cognitive therapy and spiritual applications for healing. Dr. Manley is a genuine, lovely person. Check-out his work on Amazon!
My own book: "George Eliot Lives: ORBS, Synchronicity & Past Life" is now available for bids at Susan Mears Literary Agency, UK.

PROJECTS ON OFFER / PROPOSALS AVAILABLE
|
 |
|
"George Eliot Lives: A Strange Story of Synchronicity." Nonfiction. Full manuscript available. This book contains a fair amount of research on George Eliot.
"How Divine!" Memoir comparable to Jeannette Wall's Glass Castle,and the writing style is similar to Liz Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love. How Divine is laced with humor, blessed with spiritual grace, and pricked with a touch of the mystical for good measure. This would be a great read across several genres: memoir, women's non-fiction, and mind/body/spirit categories. How Divine tells the story of my life following my mother's death when I was nine months old. Against all odds, I made my way in life with a grief-stricken father, and a host of "Oz" characters who gave me more challenges than one book could hold! The ending is mystical and fantastic. You'll find it hard to believe, but it's absolutely true! (200 pages)
"Putting By: Gathering What Matters Most" is a collection of stories and poems straight out of the heartland of the US.
