In an ugly world full of noise...

Escape to a place of quiet words and beauty

If you have ever loved

If you have ever lost

You'll recognize in this book contemplative words of joy, anger, pleasure, pain and hunger.

Thoughts and emotions, maybe deeply buried, or perhaps just below the surface resonate.

Memories of love and loss remind you of the bittersweet journey that is life

As with most art, the words in this book were inspired by love.

By women I have loved and one in particular, who I love now and may have loved before.

The woman who inspired many of these words is one of the very few truly spiritual people I have ever known. In spite of a life often tormented by cruelty and neglect, she retained a spirituality and compassion rarely seen in this world.

An artist, a poet, a singer, a dancer... a creator of enormous talent and beauty.

She enriched my life

As I hope these words will enrich yours

A Heartrending Journey of Love, Loss, and Redemption

Ameera has spent her life searching—for freedom, for belonging, for a place where her soul can truly breathe. Raised in a strict traditional household, she makes a desperate choice: to flee everything she's ever known. But the past has a way of clinging to the present.

Michael grew up worlds apart—culturally, spiritually, and yet bound by the same universal longing: to find meaning in the chaos.

When a chance encounter with an elderly Jewish woman leads Ameera toward an unexpected path as an artist, she dares to hope for a new beginning. But then, a haunting message resurfaces, dragging her back to the man she could never forget.

\"A New Book\" is a breathtaking tale of two souls colliding in a divided world. Drawn together by fate, torn apart by tradition, their story is one of forbidden love, shattered faith, and the fragile hope of healing.

A powerful exploration of identity, forgiveness, and the courage to choose your own destiny.

Stephen and Sarah first meet in London in1731. But their life together is short and filled with pain, loss and ultimately death. But that is not the end of their story. Their love is so strong it survives even death and Stephen and Sarah meet again in 3 more lifetimes.

For after Stephen discovers that Sarah is trapped in Cornwall as a prisoner of the evil Lord Beecham, he sets off on a journey to the far south west of England to rescue her.

Traversing the English countryside, Stephen risks everything in a desperate bid to free the girl he loves.

From London to Cornwall, with many detours in between, \"Always\" an uplifting tale of love and adventure will have you alternately laughing and crying, and constantly turning the page to find out what happens next.

Stephen and Sarah meet in 4 different lifetimes. Beginning in eighteenth century London.

\"Always: Ninety-Six Tears\" based on a true story, is the 4th book in the series. A heart-wrenching tale of a love that transcends life and death. Sarah and Stephen have been inseparable, even when distance came between them, since they first met in Corfu. Their love for each other only grew stronger as they built a life together. Then one day it all fell apart and they separated.

But when Sarah is diagnosed with a terminal illness, Stephen's world crumbles around him. When Sarah finally passes away, Stephen is shattered. He struggles to pick up the pieces of his life and move on without her, haunted by memories of their love and the overwhelming sense of loss and regret.

As time passes, Stephen begins to realize that Sarah's love lives on, even after her death. Through the pain of his grief, he begins to see signs that she is still with him, guiding him and providing him with the strength to continue on. In the end, Stephen learns that true love never truly dies, and that the memories of those we love can sustain us through even the darkest of times.

This heart-wrenching love story explores the power of love, loss, and the human spirit. It will leave you breathless and emotionally invested until the very end.
