Why is being a person so hard? Especially trying to be a happy person? Why do things like self-esteem go right out the window even when you're truly, madly, potently in love?! Alternating between the past and the present, this 'Gathering The Dreamcatchers' novel lights up the adventures of someone having a rough time becoming the heroine of her own crazy story, while wrangling the way towards a happy ending she's determined to create. From the author of Living In Secret, The Skin of Water: Defending The Dreamcatchers, Esoterica, Paradise Found, and ACTION: The Future Is Here. Who would've guessed a complete change in direction could transpire in just one week. When everything in Life gets ruined, can you begin again?

Leaving New Mexico and the pueblo where she was born for the streets of San Francisco, Lisel Martinez searches for a life different than the one that seems destined to be her fate. Fiction with an edge of Truth. Isn't it time our human family put aside its differences to co-create something better than an ongoing dystopia where hardly anyone's happy, safe, or doing what they love? From the author of the 'Gathering The Dreamcatchers' companion novels/novellas, 'The World Is Beautiful' illustrated non-fiction, and many fine films along with Green Flame Omnimedia slims and combo compilations.

Music. We love it. Have favorite songs. Sing & dance along. Some of us even create & perform it ourselves. But does it "soothe the savage beast" (as an often misquoted 1697 play once claimed)? Or has much of the world of music been tinkered with in order to instead: inflame? discourage? depress? suppress? compel? disconnect? All this & more is revealed when the author (a lifelong singing, songwriting, musical ex-malcontent) takes a look behind-the-scenes in terms of how harmony & dissonance have played a part in her own life, along with being used to affect society as a whole. The trajectories of smash hit artists from the days of yore such as Andy Gibb & John Denver help clarify discoveries found, connections made. Part photo-illustrated, personal storytelling with an engaging manner intended to uplift, the book additionally takes a gander at some historical facts from fresh angles. The correct quote mentioned is: "music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. To soften rocks, or bend the knotted oak." Quite potent is this gift of music from the Gods & Goddesses. One surely best wielded with joy & wisdom.
