Belle Amie
Zoe
August 10, 2002-November 26, 2014
Beautiful Baby
Light in my darkest hours
Joyous heart who could bring a smile through tears
A million magical moments
Over an inconceivably short twelve years
And desperately I search for words
To sum up and share all you've done for me
But a thousand can't paint the portrait
Of my beloved belle amie.
Beautiful Mama
Zoe, you are a life that has given me infinitely more than I could ever give you.
Every precious moment is locked in my heart and memory
And I can only let you go so the Lord can hold you
Until I can wrap you in my arms again in Him.
Beautiful friend, rest in love and peace with the family that has gone before you
Until we can be in the presence of your sweet heart once more.
We love you and miss you, baby girl, and no thank you is enough to express
how grateful we are to have known you.
Beautiful Friend

Supernatural Mystery Sale: One book FREE, one at $0.99
Check out a new fairy tale mystery series with spirit - for a steal. Two paranormal detective stories for less than one dollar.
Vingede, the 2nd book in The Friar Tobe Fairy Tale Files series is FREE on Kindle from Friday, June 6 through Sunday, June 8, 2014 while Mareritt, the 1st book in the series, is still only $0.99. Original crime mysteries born of classic fairy tales with a touch of the supernatural and a bit of romance.
As beauty lies sleeping…
Four pretty, partying high school seniors, four strange and startling accidents the police believe the girls have brought on themselves. Do demonic nightmares and fairy tale visions bury a dark secret haunting the girls or is the past simply struggling to reach the light?
Twenty-eight year old former novitiate turned PI, Tobias Berger, hired to discover who, if anyone, is threatening the four troubled young women, is about to embark on a wild “mare ride” to slay their dragon and uncover the truth.
A dark fairy tale mystery with a touch of mystic light.

A dark fairy tale mystery with a touch of mystic light.
A possibly schizophrenic adolescent boy who speaks mysterious, rhyming riddles… a mute teen girl who can only communicate through art and has an odd collecting habit… Two young people held captive by unrelated mental illness or is there a sinister connection between the cases – a swan song cry no one has yet heard?
When former novitiate turned PI, Tobias Berger, is hired by the foster father of a teen whom his unusual new client believes may have knowledge of an undiscovered crime, the private eye finds himself immersed in two cases stranger and darker than the one which introduced him to his current secretary, a young woman who’s much more to him than an employee. As the pieces in an eerie puzzle come together and the couple begins a relationship that Tobias has been hesitant to let take flight, the two discover that the supernatural is far from done with them and that the mystical may well be at work in more than one aspect of their lives.
Another fairy tale mystery in which the paranormal proves itself business as usual.

Happy Spring
Tis like the birthday of the world,
When earth was born in bloom;
The light is made of many dyes,
The air is all perfume;
There's crimson buds, and white and blue,
The very rainbow showers
Have turned to blossoms where they fell,
And sown the earth with flowers.
-Thomas Hood
Wishing everyone a lovely spring!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

An Irish Prayer
May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow
For every tear, a smile
For every care, a promise
And a blessing in each trial
For every problem life sends
A faithful friend to share
For every sigh, a sweet song
And an answer for each prayer.
Wishing all a beautiful and blessed St. Patrick's Day.
