A Call to Contemplation is the third in a series of poetry collections by Franki deMerle. Ripples on the Surface, Child of the Universe, and this new collection together include fifty years of work and over 750 poems. The author's poetry has been compared to that of Emily Dickinson, but in expression and quality, deMerle may have surpassed Dickinson.

Winner of 7 International Literary Awards, seen on CBS & NBC "Children and adults will laugh and cry through the experience of reading this brief, heartfelt book about the miracle of Charm." - Rating 5.0 stars from Midwest Book Review. Charm is a tender and loving story of a small cat that is found, lost and found again under the most mysterious conditions. It will make you wonder about life, love and the existence of a higher power. Ask yourself: Do you believe in the existence of a higher power and afterlife? Do you believe in God, miracles and reincarnation? Here is what people say about Charm: "A beautifully illustrated, real life story of rescue, love, loss and rebirth. Charm is very honest account of the life of a little black cat. Full of emotion, Charm is the perfect book for anyone who has a lost or terminal pet, and a great way to start a discussion with your child. Well done Leyla." - Hayley Rose. "A delightful little story with depth of meaning inside it. Being a Religion teacher who is currently teaching a small unit on miracles, this book came to me at exactly the right time. Although some people may consider the events in this book to be coincidences, Leyla certainly shows how they can feel like miracles from God.I would recommend this book for senior primary students and it deals with a number of important issues: love for animals, particularly cats; unconditional love; loss and death; whether miracles do occur, amongst others". - Chris Miles. "This well written story would be excellent to help teach children about the responsibilities involved in owning and caring for a pet. It would also be a great book to help children who are mourning the loss of their own pet." - Harley. "The book is aimed for people of all ages and I imagine that many people will find something enjoyable in this story. That's the magic of the book, actually. It has high points and low points which I think ought to be found inspiring; that if you get through difficult times, you might often find redemption or portions of life which make the struggle worthwhile. I found the book to be almost magical. It's a truly beautiful story of a little cat and its owner with beautiful illustrations as well. Overall, I found it to be a truly pleasing story. I think it's definitely worth five stars. I think I would love to read further stories of Charm's adventures!" - Catteria. "Wonderful little book of an uncanny tale. Leyla Atke shares a true story that you can tell she is compelled to tell because it is so filled with charm and magic. After reading this lovingly written book with its fanciful illustrations I couldn't get the story out of my head. The extraordinary other-worldliness of it made me wonder and reflect: what is life and what of it do we know. You'll like this book and will be compelled to share the story yourself! Nice." - Ace. "What a great book! Leyla touched on all the emotions and showed how important the relationship is between humans and their animals, and humans with other humans. A wonderful read and a labor of love. Well done, Leyla!" - Gary R.

Ripples On the Surface is a collection of poems written from 1969 to 2006 (not compiled in the order they were written) expressing the personal feelings, dreams, and perceptions of the author.

As a child, Sand remembered living before. She remembered her death in Dachau, but she didn't have a name for her past life identity until a former friend claimed it as her own. She is haunted by her past death and recurring premonition of another death to come as she grows up in Alabama during the Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War, and early US spaceflight. Her past life memories put her in conflict with the religious beliefs of mainstream society. The convergence of conflicting cultures results in race riots at the high school Sand attends. Sand's friend, Chrissie, remembers writing poetry in 19th century Amherst, Massachusetts, as Emily Dickinson. After Sand graduates from college and goes to work for a local newspaper, her childhood premonition of another death comes true. Meanwhile, a package that she has kept a secret suddenly resurfaces, but what does it mean? She discovers that her next door neighbor, a rising rock star, is a bigamist. Sand's story is told by Brenda Campbell, who is the daughter of the bigamist rock star, through the symbolism of her Tarot cards. Deception Past is a story of betrayal and forgiveness.

Franki deMerle's latest poetry book Child of the Universe could have been written by Emily Dickinson. This vast collection of verse is a wonderfully written edition to Ms. deMerle's other books. "We, like all living creatures, are all children of the Universe, and like many, I am a child of the verse."

But on the eve of their departure, Daphne has a terrifying nightmare about Richard that leaves her shaken. The dream turns into reality when Richard begins abusing her in Scotland. Several months later, following his brutal attack, when Daphne announces she has become pregnant, he brutally attacks her--and then she suffers a miscarriage. The only place Daphne can find refuge from her wrecked life is within her dream world. She often dreams of a warm-hearted, tender man who comforts her and provides for her every need. Daphne retreats from reality more and more, and soon, as the years pass by, she becomes a shell of the woman she once was. Eventually, however, she reaches her breaking point; Daphne gathers the strength to escape her husband's clutches. She heads to her sister's place in Washington and meets Major Ursa-Barrios, a retired army officer who has pledged to help her. The two fall deeply in love, and Daphne wonders if this kind, generous man can possibly be her salvation. Although the Major is retired, Daphne's sister is still in service. When the sisters seek to explore their dreams through past life regression techniques, they discover secrets about their pasts that could reveal the purpose of their current lives...
