Ziggy, a Little Book of Healing
available on Amazon Kindle ($4.98):
This is a true story about my dog who received a miraculous healing. I adored him, willful wretch that he was.
When he was given a death sentence, I was devastated. I couldn't bear for him to die so young, so I began praying and doing Reiki on him, and I asked friends to pray, to send healing, to visualize him healthy. Thus began a journey to wholeness for both the dog and also for me.
This account is the story of Ziggy intertwined with memoir.
Anyone who loves dogs and cats, is interested in healing and the power of prayer, might find this book helpful.
It contains an Appendix with seven touch healing prayers based upon Reiki and Lectio Divina for individuals or groups.
Unexpected Journey,
historical novel,
500 pages.
Review on Amazon (four stars): This exciting story, set in Colonial America before the Revolutionary War, had a slow start for me, because of Native American words that were unfamiliar; but within just a few pages I was hooked. The action picked me up and carried me all through the book at a pace that should satisfy even the most impatient escapist reader…Eddy Pendarvis

Emily's Shadow, YA supernatural fiction--200 pages
Review on Amazon (five stars): Emily's Shadow is geared towards young adults but entertaining enough for older adults. The development of the characters combined with an atmospheric English seaside at the close of World War II ground the fanciful plot of the novel. The magical genre and the main character of the witch in the novel is eerie and suspenseful enough for teenagers (both boy and girl) to enjoy... by Kami Smith.

Unexpected Journey is a historical novel about a Native American shaman, a rich English girl, and a crafty girl from the streets of London.
It is the 1730s when wide gulfs existed between different social strata. Rich girls did not fraternize with streetwise women, even when they were from the same country. Furthermore, well-bred English girls had no interest in brown-skinned natives from the colonies. Yet the paths of just such very different people cross, and they must deal with the dangerous attractions that lead them into brand new ways of living.
Unexpected Journey is available as both an e-book and print book from:

Evil lurks in the basement of a lonesome cottage by the sea…
Emily's Shadow is a continuation of an Arthurian legend in the desperate aftermath of World War II. It is for young adults, and anyone who enjoys Merlin fantasies in a very English setting.
Emily, now that the war is almost over, yearns for an end to bloodshed. She longs for family, but not one that includes her new stepmother. Carol, though, is preferable to Vivienne, the medieval sorceress who vanquished Merlin. Emily can’t believe the ugly visions in her head, can’t believe a witch from a past century still exists and wants something from her, something far from peaceful…

Painting of Saichō, who was a Tendai Buddhist
Last night a monk visited me--
I was sleeping and I jolted awake to see a figure looming over the bed. It scared me--to say the least. I tried to call on Jesus for help, but couldn't. I tried to go into a meditative practice to calm myself down, but couldn't. I managed to turn the light on. It was 12:30 AM. My rational brain kicked in and I told myself it must have been my husband's astral body (you never know) looking to see if I was sleeping. He was out on the couch in the living room. I told myself it must have been a nightmare brought on by a Midsomer Murder I'd just watched of a woman who was menaced by unseen intruders in her house at night(seems logical). I told myself it was nothing to worry about because whatever it was or wasn't, it was now gone.
I lay for a while with the light on until I felt calmer and I sensed that whatever this had been, it was benevolent, someone or something checking up on me.
So being a rational human being with a big imagination, I've decided it must have been the Monk from Ten Yen True having a look at one of the people to whom he gave the first ten yen coin--I wonder what he wants of me, what lessons I am to learn, what people I am to meet? I know he is kind, he is good, he is a teacher of Pure Land who seeks to help all come into the presence of Amida Buddha who will welcome them with open arms and open heart into a land of compassion free from suffering.
