How Writers Develop Along with Their Fiction Series
An interesting aspect of writing different fiction series is that writers change along with their series. Looking at my three fiction series — the Waldmeer Series, the Nanima Series, and the Enanika Series — there is a clear progression in how I use fiction to explore and express ideas. It wasn’t consciously planned so much …

“Some people do not need time to make decisions. They do not make lists of advantages and disadvantages, consult five friends, sleep on things for several nights and hope clarity might arrive. Their decisions rise directly from their inner knowing. When the question is clear, the answer comes with it.”

quote
“Creation moves through these seven elements. Firstly, there is differentiation: something distinct emerges from the undifferentiated. Secondly, there is space: separation creates the room in which relationship can occur. Thirdly, there is grounding: a stable field appears that can support life. Fourthly, there is orientation: larger rhythms, cycles and cosmic order are established. Fifthly, there is animation: life begins to move freely through the field. Sixthly, there is embodiment: life takes fuller form, culminating in embodied consciousness. Seventhly, completion: creation is allowed to be.”

Ana Clara's review
of
Riverland: For Children and their Young-at-Heart Old Folk (Riverland Series, #1):
"This is a very calm and simple book with a nice idea at its center. The message about love for pets and a peaceful afterlife for animals is sweet and easy to understand. It’s the kind of story you read to a child before bed without needing to explain"

“A balanced inner calmness radiates from a peaceful centre. It neither craves others' approval nor rejects others' presence. It neither pulls towards nor pushes away. It has a reverent attitude towards life and all its inhabitants.”

“Don’t feel bad about feeling bad. Don’t be frightened of feeling afraid. Don’t be angry about getting angry. There is no need to give up when we are feeling depressed. Nor should we be dismayed at the grief which often accompanies the outgrowing of anything which needs outgrowing. We can be glad that our soul is speaking to us and pushing us onwards. We frequently need to persevere with a period of inner turmoil before the dust can settle and be swept out the door.”

“Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.”

“When you love you should not think you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.”

“You have been told that, even like a chain, you are as weak as your weakest link.
This is but half the truth.
You are also as strong as your strongest link.
To measure you by your smallest deed is to reckon the power of the ocean
by the frailty of its foam.
To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.”
― The Prophet
