The Piper's Story: A Tale of War, Music and the Supernatural

​
The Piper’s Story offers readers a well-crafted, satisfying story featuring rounded and believable characters—including a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever named Mazie—who become involved in an increasingly bizarre and frightening set of circumstances. This is a story that might be read over a weekend, but the next week would be spent pondering the implications; more than a novel of character driven action, this tale raises some interesting speculations regarding the relationship between creative and destructive energies. I urge you to read it and enjoy for yourself the work of a sophisticated and mature craftswoman.

The Threshold of Eden
ISBN 1939815193
In the beginning, man was driven out of Eden; in the end, he shall be restored in a transformation both unexpected and sudden: in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. . .
Uprooted from his native Brooklyn, yearning for independence from his overbearing father and relief from his obsessive thoughts, young concert pianist Joshua Brightman finds unlikely friends in his New Orleans neighbors, matriarch and gifted healer Annie Faris and her granddaughter, precocious twelve-year-old bookworm Sam. While Sam grieves over the recent loss of her father, Annie struggles to heal Sam’s terminally ill mother. In their search for health and peace, Joshua, Annie, and Sam learn what barriers exist between death and life, between disease and healing, and the price they must pay to overcome them. Their stories play out against the backdrop of an Eden lost, a wounded, post-oil-spill Louisiana, and the ongoing struggle for survival of her people, wildlife, and those mysterious, mystical marshes.
