The website for this special book offers you a sneak peek inside its pages and a 20% pre-publication discount (if ordered from us by June 25). It's easy for you to buy a copy for yourself -- and as gifts too! Also, if you want to be informed when the books arrive, and when we (hopefully) have a launch party, click Join the Email List, then check "Announcement for Goddess book release." Dear friends and allies - I'm so thrilled to announce that my Goddess book is now online and ready for pre-publication sales. Woo hoo! After years of hard work, it's wonderful to finally be able to share this playful and nourishing sacred tale with you. Even better is being able to present it as a beautiful high-quality hardcover book, illustrated with my original artwork. I'm also grateful to everyone who has helped this process along the way. The feedback from my beta reviewers of the book has been quite heart-warming and affirming. They consistently report feeling deeply nurtured by both the story and the illustrations. They say that they want to read it again and again, and share it with others. That's how I feel about it too! So I invite you to check out the book's website. For instance you might: • Read more about the book -- and take peek inside its pages! • Order your very own copy (or copies) for yourself or as gifts (on my snazzy new online store) • Receive the special pre-publication discount of 20% (if ordered directly from us by June 25) • Consider adding my greetings cards to your order (featuring artwork from the book; they're also on the online store) • Share this information with others, perhaps on Facebook and email • Encourage local stores to carry the book. All of this and more is accessible from The Goddess Book website. I welcome any questions, suggestions, or thoughts you might have -- about the book or this purchase process! Note: I expect to start shipping the book in late June. I'll send out an email to this Goddess book list when the books are available. I'm also hoping to have a launch party for the book, to celebrate its arrival and share its birth with my allies. I'm hoping that this will be in late June. I'll also send more information about that as it emerges. * REQUEST: Would you be willing to consider offering your home or other indoor space for the book's launch party? Please let me know! We can shape the gathering to fit your needs. I expect that it will be a modest heart-filled event with wonderful people savoring their first tastes of this divine empowering tale. Thank you so much for your interest in this project! I look forward to sharing the book with you when it's available.

(It's hard to believe, but it's true!) She lived up high on a beautiful hill, but didn't see any of it, because of the sadness in her heart. Until one day she received an unexpected invitation to go into the forest.... You're invited to join the goddess on her adventure, and savor the enchanting story, inspired artwork, and playful and meaningful moments. As the goddess connects with her hidden longings, you might see deeper still, into your own precious core divinity, and find yourself experiencing that place where all hearts joyfully join together in the mystery. This story from Spirit is for people of all ages -- to soothe our sadness -- and nurture our divine blossoming. The high-quality hardcover book is beautifully illustrated with original artwork, making it a delightful treat for yourself and a keepsake gift for others. It indirectly and experientially touches on various themes, including the spiritual nurturing of nature, the empowering transformation of emotional healing, and the blessing of authentic divine connection between people. It contains no particular religious dogma, making it appropriate for people on a wide range of spiritual paths, or none. To learn more, or get your very own copy, just go to The Goddess Book webpage. Soon, you'll be able to enjoy and share this wonderful story! p.s. It's wonderful to read this story aloud to others -- and have them read it to you!

READER FEEDBACK "This Goddess story is beyond-words fabulous. I was totally hooked. "It feels intimate to the level of the soul. The illustrations match the feeling of the words so well. It has transformed me. I want to read it again and again! "And then to see how the story came through you, to emerge as a true divine experience, gave me goose bumps. "This story is more than a story to entertain. It gives insight to the core of us as divine creatures and as women. Thank you is an understatement. "This book is truly a gift to the world." ~ Paula Pearce, Author & Illustrator of Saving Walter
