I tried to make each prayer, poem, or inspirational story stand on its own merit. However, you may find that some are interconnected. How appropriate, since we are all interconnected with each other through God.

A generation after a nerve agent decimated the planet, legendary Barbara Hanson's children, Summer and Amon, attempt to discover the dark secrets of the past. Tall tales and gossip have destroyed their mother's credibility and it's up to them to make it right. But, will they be banished for their curiosity? A quote from the Old Testament may hold the key.

N65 was designed to give the US and its allies the upper hand by decimating its enemies' young and intelligent citizens, leaving only those with fewer neurons—the elderly, the limited, the psychotic—behind. They didn't count on the gas affecting the entire planet. Or that the Earth itself would revolt. Will those that remain be able to survive the New World? Or will civilization come to an end?

Can this family survive the truth? Closure should have come swiftly with the funeral and nailing of the casket, but instead of finding peace, the old man’s death reopened old wounds left to fester for decades. Sahar Abdulaziz’s haunting women’s contemporary fiction novel, As One Door Closes, is a stark and dramatic testament to the devastation that comes with hiding sexual abuse, and protecting the "secret" rather than the victim. Will five very different women finally heal the damage, bring closure, and bury the secrets they have been forced to carry and protect?

Seventeen years ago, Terri Ann Stone began serving a life sentence, charged with the double homicide of her mother and stepfather. Up to now, Terri’s anger, hate, and relentless commitment to hiding the truth have kept her alive behind bars. However, the bitterness that once fueled Terri's center begins to wane. Her pledge to secrecy dissolves. With no prospect of ever being set free, she reveals the entire ugly truth, to the single person left in the world who still matters to her.

Emma Bartyle is a shy, sheltered teenager. At a bonfire with her first real boyfriend, which goes horribly awry from almost the beginning, she is yanked from her ordinary life into horrific events. If she wants to stay alive, she must trust herself, her instincts, and a complete stranger. Something is out hunting, something with a voracious appetite and a rage that can’t be quelled. Set in the autumn of 1973, The Mongrel is a lean, dark adventure, not only of things that go bump in the night, but of things with sharp teeth and sharper claws.

What We See in the Smoke twists the genres of realism and science fiction to tell the future history of Toronto, a story that stretches from this millennium to the next. The novel leaps across the boundaries of time and space, as present and future Torontonians search for meaning, connection, and love in a city that grows more beautiful and frightening as its familiar characteristics fade away.

This rendition of my encounters is a simple, pared-down telling of every paranormal encounter I have ever had - all 40+ years' worth. Since I'm extremely private, putting myself out there is not easy for me. As far as proper grammar goes, please bear with me. I’m a simple Southern girl from the USA, and the way I speak and write might not be proper, but it is me. I did work with an editor to make it more intelligible, but I was reticent about having my Southerners' style removed entirely. My prose may not sound correct at times, but that’s just who I am.

Rivka Ganuke, barely surviving her birth, was thrust into a conflicted world at the onset of the 20th century, a world of want, poverty and danger, a misogynistic world which had forever deprived women of equality. She rebelled at the obligation to fulfill age-old roles steeped in superstition and was denied the right to continue her education despite her brilliant mind.
