ABOUT THE ARTIST/AUTHOR
Originally from Texas, I was drawn to the beauty
of the Pacific Northwest and have made the Puget Sound area my home since 1996. Through a great respect for nature and
believing that everything is sacred, I am profoundly concerned about the conservation of our planet, specifically the depletion
of forested land and global warming, and I'm working toward living
a completely sustainable life.
"Traveler" would be my occupation
of choice if it were possible. I love to travel and I embrace the many gifts offered through cultural diversity. It is my
dream to one day visit some of the countries that have helped to inspire the settings for The Traveler’s
Saga, a series of sci-fi fantasy novels that I began writing in 2005. Some of my own meditation/prayer bead
designs have been influenced by the intricate knotwork designs of the ancient Celts, whose rich history and mythology is also
a source of fascination and inspiration for my written work.
Although
The Traveler's Saga marks my professional authoring debut, I have been writing short stories and
poetry for many years. I strive to create strong female characters in my stories,
like Brianna Moonspirit and Aunika Stardancer. My mission is to inspire people through my work, specifically women, to believe
in themselves, and to believe that everyone is empowered to live a fulfilling life. This series of fantasy novels
is the result of a dream journal that I started after having several extremely vivid dreams and experiencing some rather interesting
guided meditations. Fascinated with the notion of time travel, my novels explore some intriguing and controversial concepts
about time and the universe.
Loosely
based on Celtic mythology, The Traveler’s Saga is a fateful tale of prophecy and legends that
spans the course of about twenty years during the first three stories. The characters embark on a journey of discovery, endurance,
courage, spirit, and determination that takes readers beyond the reaches of distant shores to other worlds and alien cultures.
Despite the odds, their dedication to their beliefs, traditions, families and communities endures. During their journey, they
discover the shocking truth about their own history and place in the Multiverse as they defend their way of life and fight
for their freedom. Breaking the curse of the former Cú-Raeth queen was just the beginning.
In addition to writing, I have been handcrafting jewelry using semi-precious gemstones
for nearly a decade. Inspired by the fact that some of the characters in The Traveler’s Saga
use prayer beads, I shifted my focus in 2009 from making jewelry to creating meditation and prayer beads. My designs are currently
available at Spirit Wind West in beautiful downtown Port Orchard, WA.
In my workshops, I teach others how to make their own meditation beads. I help participants choose the appropriate
stones/beads for the intention of the meditations based on the healing and metaphysical properties of the stones. Once a design
is selected, I demonstrate how to string and knot between the beads, and the participants then complete their strands of beads
in sacred space. I also offer a guided meditation afterward so everyone can practice using their new beads right away. Inquire
at Spirit Wind West for more information about workshops or check the website periodically for updated schedules.
Celebrate
nature and all that is sacred!
Blessings!
