A Novel of Love, Honor & Personal Sacrifice... When River Willows is accused of a murder she didn't commit, her life takes a turn toward the sanctuary of a world existing at right-angles to our own. Combining the mysticism of martial arts and the romantic conflict of a young woman torn between two powerful men, COYOTE takes the reader on an epic journey of dangerous secrets, military cover-ups, and the infinite heart of the peaceful warrior. _____________ "So who's Coyote?" I asked, trying to ignore the effect he was having on me. "You?" Steale laughed easily, though it did little to hide the torment behind that mask of indifference he wore so well. "Coyote's a scavenger, Jack of all trades. The Native Americans call him the trickster - the one who brought chaos down on the world." He shrugged as if altogether unconcerned. "Original sin." "Is that what you are?" I asked, keeping it light despite the growing knot in my stomach. He kept his profile to me, eyes straight ahead as he drove. "Sure you want to know?" I couldn't help wondering if I had cornered the coyote, or if the clever trickster had cornered me. ________ Della Van Hise is the best-selling author of KILLING TIME - without a doubt the most controversial STAR TREK novel ever published!

When Terrans came to sail dark seas, And see what stars might be... Heaven moved with no forwarding address, And left this void to me. (Children's song from Lazali) __________ "No Forwarding Address is a poetic, beautifully constructed record of loneliness, abandonment, love, and wanderlust." - Natasha Solten _____________ A literary science fiction novel told in the voice of an empath, No Forwarding Address explores the lures and the dangers of love, the tragedies and triumphs stirring in the human heart. When Crystal and Raine first meet, it is 50 years after The Great War on Earth. They are hesitant to trust, afraid to love.

Quantum Shaman is the compelling story of one woman's adventure on the path with heart - a personal confrontation with life and death which brings the reader face to face with the double: the mysterious Other who takes on a life of his own and manifests the key to our own immortal evolution - what some have called "embracing the totality of OneSelf" wherein all past lives, future lives and parallel lives come together under a single and unifying perspective. The double is the higher self, but not necessarily confined to energy alone, as the author discovered on an otherwise insignificant morning in the spring of 1988. In this book, you will meet Orlando at the same time the author does - and it is a meeting that is both humorous and life-altering, for it brings what the impossible into the realm of possibility, and launches both author and reader into a journey that has no beginning and no end.For anyone familiar with the works of Carlos Castaneda or Don Miguel Ruiz, Quantum Shaman continues the journey into areas seldom explored in other works, bringing a quantum comprehension to what has traditionally been considered a mystical path alone."...picks up where Castaneda left off to take us on a roller coaster ride of our own forgotten power..." -Michael Grove, Independent Online Reviews, August 1, 2005

"It's not your neatly typed essays that interest me," Orlando said, "but the scrawls on the walls of your soul." ________________ Assuming the seeker reaches the point of embracing the authentic self, after a brief respite during which she pats herself on the back and writes her resignation speech to The World At Large, there comes a time when she begins to confront the realization that the world is not only not what she has been led to believe, the world is also an irrevocable pain in the ass. Finding the authentic self didn't make the bullshit go away! Finding the authentic self only opened ones eyes to the further realization that one has now stepped in it! You alone are real in a roomful of mannequins, harlequins, jokers and jackasses. Welcome to the real world... Now what? ___________ "If you've ever felt like a stranger in a strange land, this book is your road map to survival in the spiritual wilderness!" (Michael Grove) _________ SCRAWLS is a look at the world through the eyes of the Quantum Shaman - sometimes harsh, sometimes amusing, always intensely honest as the author bares heart and soul in this follow-up to the highly-acclaimed Quantum Shaman: Diary of a Nagual Woman. ______________

Set against a backdrop of contemporary culture, Sons of Neverland explores the universal questions of life & death, sex & love - the most crucial challenges every human being must face. Told in the poetic voice of myth, Sons of Neverland explores one man's grief as it plunges him into the realm of the vampire. Here, Stefan encounters Miquel, who is destined to become his maker. But the price of immortality is high and the vampire warns, "Through my blood you will learn a secret that will compel you to live forever, yet a secret so profane it will haunt you for all eternity."The secret will haunt you, too._____One Reviewer said..."What Sons of Neverland resembled to me was the creative hagiographies of Nikos Kazantzakis, where a few stylized characters deliver a message that goes way beyond the parameter of the characters themselves. And much like Kazantzakis, this book zones on the question of immortality. However, this is not just the decadent immortality of the long-lived vampire, it is immortality as a change in one's perception. This is the story behind the story, delivered by characters that are hyper-real - each one loaded with symbolism. Sons of Neverland will have you filled, even brimming over with the sense of Mysterium Tremendum et Fascinans. Go there for a full helping of the numinous."____________________A print reviewer commented: Sons of Neverland challenges what we believe and brings the reader face to face with the possibility that absolutely nothing we have been told by teachers, peers and priests holds a single gram of truth. Sons of Neverland is told in the poetic voice of myth, from the perspective of a man devastated by grief as a result of the death of his daughter. As the story unfolds, Stefan's faith in gods and goodness is not only tested, but destroyed - leaving him obliterated, but simultaneously free for the first time in his life..."_______________Readers have compared Sons of Neverland to the works of Anne Rice, Carlos Castaneda, and Anais Nin. One reader summed it up as follows: "Sons of Neverland is one of the most erotic books I've ever read. It made me believe in the power of the human heart..." (Charlene J.)
