The journey I have taken in the last six years since I embarked on this project has profoundly changed my life. The research and development of the plot and characters of The House on Black Lake has been a process of self exploration.  It has also led me into the labyrinths and tunnels of our civilized society, the underbelly linking us to our animalistic natures and our connection to a universal force we may never fully understand. Yet, I believe we comprehend instinctively and seek to find a balance of man, animal, God, universe, all one, all complete. Our social systems are our servants and not the reverse, and this should never be forgotten.

The novel is now available at  Amazon.com (Kindle version and book) Barnes and Noble.com, and by order through your local book merchants. The  book trailer, expertly filmed by Frazer Bradshaw and a host of technical and artistic talent, can be viewed on my Home Page, Utube, Vimeo, Metacafe, and other video websites.  I recently completed screenplay and have interest in film. I will actively promote and seek out new avenues to meet readers and discuss the topics of my book. Please feel free to contact me if you wish to offer opportunities or suggestions. It is important that artists support one another, and that is my mission.

I want to thank all of you who have inspired and aided me in breaking through my own personal barriers to help my heroine find her lost soul and create a powerful new life.  However, Alexandra has only begun her personal evolution.  The two sequels, The Sixth Child and The Shift, will take her into unexplored territories as she seeks to fulfill her manifest destiny.

The arrival is the beginning and the end is a new beginning.  The House on Black Lake is a wild ride.  I hope you enjoy your journey!

Peace and Love,
