DAPHNE'S WEB Now Available!

It has been a long time coming - but Daphne's Web (A Haunting Romance) has been published and is available through Amazon.  I look forward to sharing snippets of the backstory, the fictional story, and currents of metaphysical and otherworldly messages it imparts. Book readers, blog visitors and others just stopping by are welcome to comment and join in on discussions.  A new blog journey has begun for me, but I will also continue to post from my Nature walks and musings about life and its mysteries.
