The Mist Between Worlds

A multi-dimensional epic for young adult and adult readers.

Centuries ago, the Mist appeared. Where it came from or why, Siling knew not. All she knew was it swallowed her people and threatened to swallow her home on Tayula’s pristine shores. What woes it caused were little though compared to what she would face as her path intertwines with a trail of destruction winding through doorways opened by the Mist…

The Mist altered the Earth’s realmscape, shifting lands from one realm to another and allowing sinister beings to cross through. Six lives become tangled in a web of intrigue as two formidable brothers wage war against humanity: Siling and her daughter Heri, exiled from the lands of their ancestors by the Mist; the feisty Foxsprite, hated by the People whom she must protect; sisters Vannethe and Praycee who are drawn into battle with a powerful witch; and Rendan, an ex-celebrity and survivor in a world brought to its knees by the collision of realms.

As the brothers battle across worlds, the heroes meet all manner of strange and magical creatures as they strive to unravel their insidious plots once and for all.

Meivara’s Light Magic

This novel is intended for mature readers; young adult and adult. 

Some of the darker themes that arise in it, on an energetic level relate to areas of wounding in the Sacred Feminine. My intention while writing this book was that, however difficult the journey, all darkness can be overcome, all wounds healed, and new, bountiful life, can emerge and bear fruit.

Meivara is a young sorceress living alone in a peaceful Woodland realm after a tragic betrayal leaves her heartbroken and wounded. Yet unbeknownst to Meivara, the Woodlands are under threat from the very people she had escaped, the masters of the neighbouring city of Erenessi. Within the dark events of her past lie secrets that were never meant to have left the city. Meivara finds herself on the cusp of a crisis as the masters of Erenessi threaten to destroy their peaceful neighbours, and as Meivara strives alongside the Woodland folk and Warriors from abroad to save her home, she discovers the truth of the secret power within her.

Zian and the Sacred Realms

This novel is suitable for teens, young adults and adults alike.

Some inspiration has been taken from the notions of multiple dimensions and Twin Flames. 

Zian is a student at Westriver High in the city of Priad, a metropolis her family moved to when she was just four. Zian loves Priad, but these days, nothing seems easy anymore. She is struggling with her schoolwork and feels she is growing apart from her lifelong friends. Everything changes when she discovers she has a gift: like her ancestors, Zian is a talented Traveller of the Sacred Realms. After tragedy strikes her family, Zian begins to delve into her gift. She learns of a calamity unfolding in another Realm, and begins to understand what it truly means to be a Traveller.

Magick

There is Magick in the world…

It is in the touch of the Earth
And in the smell of the breeze
It’s in the blossoms and the birds
And the rustling emerald leaves.

It is there in the dark
It bursts out in the light
It’s in every rain-radiant colour
It sings the song of Life.

There is Magick in the world
It lives within us and freely gives
Hope, Belief, Joy, Love
It sees Beauty in what Is.

There is Magick in the world
Just waiting to be seen
And when we open up our hearts
It sets our spirits free.

A4 illustrated print of my poem Magick. 220gsm. Great gift idea for kids!
