Subject: The Light's Return + The Alchemy of The Beast

"I know. It's all wrong.
By rights we shouldn't even be here.
But we are.

It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo.
The ones that really mattered.
Full of darkness, and danger, they were.
And sometimes you didn't want to know the end, because how could the end be happy?
How could the world go back to the way it was
when so much bad had happened?

But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass.
A new day will come.
And when the sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer.

Those were the stories that stayed with you.
That meant something.
Even if you were too small to understand why.
But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now.

Folk in those stories had lots of chances of
turning back only they didn't.
They kept going.
Because they were holding on to something.


~ Samwise Gamgee, The Lord of The Rings ~

Today, I'm celebrating the Light's return... and I'm not just talking about the Winter Solstice.

I'm talking about the Truth that is mirrored and confirmed in our bodies and minds by this natural phenomenon.

The Light Always Returns

It truly is the perfect day to celebrate the launch of The Alchemy of The Beast, a novel that captures the essence of Light returning to the heart, mind, and body of a young woman devastated by the loss of her father, her faith, her love, and her identity.

Talk about a dark night of the soul.

The plot is based on the Alyssa Noelle Coelho's real journey, but the details of the world and its inhabitants and adventures have been "magicked up" a bit into a visceral experience that has had early readers buzzing with story magic and medicine.

And because I am the author's big sister, I was actually witness to her descent into the darkness of grief, the light of healing's return, and her heroic journey of revisiting the painful past and sharing her soul in this book, so that others can benefit from the medicine her story contains.

If you are facing a dark night and
wondering if the Light will ever return,
my prayer for you today is that you keep moving forward with the faith of
Samwise Gamgee and Alyssa Noelle Coelho
until the Light does what it always does...

And if you want a little extra medicine
for your journey, grab this book today.

p.s.
The first 1,000 copies will be limited editions
and have a special surprise in them.
