Nature and Spirit inspire the writer and shaman in me. I hope my stories connect you to nature's constant joy and beauty and take you deeper
into your true nature.
Joy is the normal state of being for faeries, unlike humans for whom life can fluctuate minute by minute. In this ingenious tale, garden faeries shapeshift to uplift a niece and her uncle through the grief of loss. This story reminds readers that the beauty of life goes on forever, thriving in nature and song.
The novella combines poetry and prose in a lyrical style that captures the essence of garden faerie energy. A delight to read.
Every beginning has an end. Every adventure brings us home.
As we chase our dreams and move from one place to another, we eventually make the move that returns us home--not running from, but moving toward our true nature.
Spirit is like the wind, an invisible force sweeping the Earth. The wind and Spirit whisper of faraway places, calling to the wild and unexplored parts of ourselves with a destination of a fuller and brighter life--higher on the mountain where selflessness lives.
Step into the shaman’s world, where spirit whispers wisdom and beckons instincts. Rock spirits offer advice, and the elephant's delightful dance heralds auspicious events. The waters rage and sing before cascading into pools of understanding, serenity, and solace. The lion and lioness, the tiger and tigress—meant to be together—find one another. Learn to see, hear, feel, and trust Spirit as it touches your life with magic, healing, and grace.
If you read to learn or read to escape, the contemporary shaman stories will awaken you to new understandings and take you places you've never been.

Life happens in unexpected ways as a shaman is alert for clues that first appear in meditation—a Rock, a Lion, and a Wolf—with two spirits, bringing him the challenge of healing a strong-willed senior senator with the desire to awaken people. Hesitant, yet intrigued by what the insightful and confident young shaman says, the senator slowly opens to his spiritual journey.

Our favorite characters continue to pursue their dreams with the encouragement of healer/shaman Randy MacIntyre, M.D. The senator's last campaign of his career comes to a traumatic but triumphant conclusion. The pinnacle of Randy's healing work with the family occurs in a vacation retreat session, where they resolve their traumas enough to ride the waterfall of healing energy and land in a carefree pool of laughter. Carmen remarks, "Ah, sweet oblivion!"
In the COMING HOME series conclusion, shaman Randy MacIntyre, M.D., undergoes his own transformation, and indeed, COMES HOME to the next stepping stone of his life.

Coping with the trauma of violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, catalyzes the changes.
