"I weave Beauty and Light
into my dreams
and offer them into
the web of all things
."
­Why I wrote this novel:


Did you know the first free-standing temples in the world were built to honor the Great Mother Goddess of the ancient
world?  I traveled to Malta, an island in the center of the Mediterranean, to see its megalithic temples and
ancient statues for myself.  The experience was mind-blowing; this novel began as a way to convey that experience. 
 
Very quickly I discovered that I could not imagine life--five-to-six thousand years ago--in a society that revered the
feminine face of God--without feeling a bit corny.  I decided to set this story in historical time--the eighth century B.C.--when the Phoenicians arrived on Malta’s shores and the Goddess was a fading memory.

 Of course, every story is driven by passion. Like me, the heroine of this novel desires love and romance as passionately as she desires to be a positive force for healing in the world. 
 
What do we do when our most passionate desires conflict?

This is the story of Nuriya, the daughter of a Phoenician father and Egyptian mother, abandoned on Malta as a child. This is the story of her journey into womanhood and the ordeal of becoming a healer. I hope you enjoy it.
