It is with deep happiness and a belly full of butterflies that I reach out to share some exciting news with you.  Finally, after an 18 year-long gestation period, I have "given birth" to part one of A Tale of Serendipity.

The Adventure Begins! is the Prelude to a magical and adventurous story about a wonderful, close-knit family of seals that is torn apart by the arrival of a devastating storm and a ship of vicious seal-hunters. While Part one of the larger tale explores the fate of five seal pup brothers who have been tragically separated from their beloved and very pregnant mother, it is a story that speaks to the hopes, fears and challenges that we all face in life.  And it does so in a way that -- I envision! -- will trigger curiosity, compassion and wonder in thoughtful children (parents, teachers and planet-loving people) everywhere.


There, you can learn more about the story, download the whole book for free as an ebook, or purchase a hardcopy for yourself, or as a gift for someone you love. 

While A Tale of Serendipity can be enjoyed by people of all ages, it is written with an audience between the ages of 8 and 12 in mind (and heart!). Older kids will want to read it themselves.  Younger ones will enjoy having the story read to them. The Prelude is approx. 353 pages.
