"The pen paints the souls longing in jewel tones."A collection of fifty two poems of life, love and inspiration.There are joys for which we cannot find expression, moments that have a depth of emotion that can only be shared in images. It is here that poetry comes into its own, for the pictures we paint with words can conjure all the emotions of the human heart. From solitude to passion, from aspiration to the quest for the soul's inner light, we seek to find ways to share our journey through life, to witness our footsteps as we pass through its shifting sands and cast a reflection on time itself. The poet is both mirror and reflection, framing the images of a human life and giving them a beating heart.

Minnie and Midge were spending the summer holiday in Scotland. They had a lovely beach to play on, full of golden sands and coloured pebbles. They were playing a game they had often played before... Mother gave them a list of things to find... an almost impossible list... and if they succeeded, she told them, something magical would happen. Of course, they never did manage to complete the task, so nothing magical ever happened... but still they tried.Today they were hunting stones, arranging their finds in a spiral pattern on the sand. "We've only to find another red one and a fossil now," said Midge. There was still half an hour to go before they headed back up to the cottage...A gentle and magical adventure for young children.

Where is Mister Fox? The night howls in triumph... pale eyes watch from the shadows...It is the night of the Hunter's Moon and the dancing ground should be alive with flame as the Foxes dance in the dark. But the dancing ground is deserted. They are gone. No earthly light pierces the gloom, only the sickly glow of a veiled moon. Don and Wen stare in disbelief. Whispers in the shadows, a faceless voice, a tale of ambush and betrayal... of Foxes driven from their home and scattered, condemned to wander far from their ancestral lands. Charles James Fox wounded... none has seen him since that fateful night. Will the Hunter's Moon pass in darkness? Have the Demon Dogs succeeded in their mission to bring eternal winter to the land? Or will their celebrations be short-lived?...For none may mar the Dancing GroundNor add their darkness to the night, Nor stand against the Silver Fox, The wielder of the Staff of Light...

"...and the swords must be found and held by their bearers lest the darkness find a way into the heart of man. Ask the waters to grant guidance and tell the ancient Keeper of Light that it is time to join battle for the next age." Rhea Marchant heads north to the wild and beautiful landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales where she is plunged into an adventure that will span the worlds. The earth beneath her feet reveals its hidden life as she and her companions are guided by the ancient Keeper of Light in search of artefacts of arcane power. With the aid of the Old Ones and the merry immortal Heilyn, can the company find the elemental weapons that will help restore hope to an unbalanced world? "...An inspired piece of writing that keeps your attention until the very last page." "A beautiful, gentle, magical read. I absolutely loved the way the author portrays Merlin! Definitely a re-reader..."
