I've always been quite the romantic, believing in things that others thought were ridiculous!

The second novel in my trilogy, The Symbolon deals with the existence of soul mates. I love the concept and having found the love of my life ten years ago, I can tell you that it is unlike any relationship I have ever had.

It's more than love; it is an understanding of each other that goes well beyond the norm. It is, in a word, extraordinary!

Since writing The Symbolon, it's been beautiful to read the responses from readers telling me about when they met their soul mate, or wondering if they ever will find theirs.

For me the journey began in 2002. I was living in Knoxville, TN. I realized that I had been settling for an "almost" relationship for a few years too many.

I decided it was time to wear my heart on my sleeve and seek the kind of relationship I desired. I had a picture of what that relationship would look like and I knew how it would feel. I had written about it.

My laptop in front of me, I began making a list of what would distinguish "a relationship" from "the relationship". The list grew long and I began to feel ridiculous listing many of the points. I knew I would settle for far less than I had listed. Still, there was a dream of the ideal and that was what I was seeking.

Once I made the decision and knew what I wanted was when the magic began. There were small perchance occurrences that we call luck, and many extraordinary things that we later question. Magic!

I met my husband on that journey and it is amazing how beautiful life can be when you are with the love of your life!

The Symbolon is the original word for soul mates, and it is the name of the second novel in The Sibylline Trilogy.

It will be FREE today and then 99 cents for the rest of the week. I hope you'll take a chance to check it out.
