The Prophet of Dust

Arik Delvin never asked to be a prophet. A jaded conman surviving among ruins and superstition in the post-apocalyptic Wastes, he earns his keep by spinning false miracles for desperate souls. But when his lies accidentally come true, the Wastes begin to whisper his name. Now, hunted by zealots, Hollowed wanderers, and a power older than faith itself, Arik must decide whether he’s been chosen… or cursed.

Beside him stands Mira, a silver-eyed survivor of rebellion burdened by guilt and faith; Nyra, a scarred fighter who once tried to burn prophecy out of the world; and Kevin, a goat far cleverer than he has any right to be. Together they cross a dying land where the sky bleeds ash, the dead still trade tea, and every step threatens to unravel what’s left of the Thread, the force holding everything together.

A thrilling blend of grim imagination and quick wit, The Prophet of Dust is a haunting tale of belief, betrayal, and survival in a world that has forgotten what it means to be saved.

Backyard Rehabbing

“Save some for Inky,” the Roper children chant at meal times after their father found and brought home an abandoned baby crow. Two years later, their parents find an injured wild bird, take it to a wildlife rehabilitator, and begin the process of becoming rehabilitators themselves. What they find is that the most difficult part of rehabbing is not working with the birds. The public, who know little about wild birds, can hamper a bird’s healing and even become a danger to their lives.

...a man saw an injured pigeon... “But I didn’t touch it,” the man said. “I didn’t want to catch rabies.” I explained to the man that rabies can be caught from...wild and domestic animals. Birds...cannot catch nor carry rabies. I then asked the man to pick up the bird and bring it to us in a covered box. “You want me to touch that bird?” the man asked...and hung up.

An injured bird may need immediate attention from the person who found it, and that could be YOU! Suggestions are included as to how to help the birds.

And So, We Dance

In And So, We Dance, Leigh loses herself in memories of her life and her wife’s cancer journey. The novel started out as a memoir, and then I began to hear Leigh (LL) and Lizzie’s (LiLiz) inner children talk to me. The magical elements that emerged soften the tragedy of losing a loved one. Blending emotional intimacy with quiet surrealism, the story explores lesbian love, grief, and the inner selves we call forth to help us navigate when everything else is lost.

Leigh finally comes out of the closet where she had lived since she was 15. She meets and marries the love of her life, Lizzie, only to face a battle much worse than closet dwelling. Lizzie’s cancer diagnosis turns their lives upside down. As Leigh loses herself in her memories, she finds her inner child in the body of a six-year-old hitchhiking on the highway, waiting for her. Little Leigh (LL) tries to help her through the battle she and Lizzie fight. Lizzie’s inner child, LiLiz, also joins, and the four struggle against the Stranger, cancer, who threatens their lives.

The author holds a PhD from Emory University, has studied under Anya Auchtenberg, and is a member of a weekly writing group and Pitch to Published. She is a published poet, and her book is entitled Journeys.
