Tuesdays With The Angels- New Mystic Bay Series New Angel In Town

Posted on by

My latest novella, New Angel In Town, is a labor of love as all my books are. However, this one is different from the others in the Mystic Bay Series. This book has a compilation of all the angel stories ever told to me from family members, friends, and people at book fairs. These are true accounts of  real encounters people have experienced in their lifetimes.  I decided to write a  book in the series  bringing all the characters,  townsfolk and the angels living as humans together telling their angel stories. The secret is known to a few but the angels have their own favorite stories of helping those in need in Mystic Bay. These stories told to a filmmaker will  become a film to inspire humanity.

How did writing the Mystic Series start? Thirty years ago, my  treasured first child, Kate tragically passed away.  I was beyond hope yet found heaven had a plan for me. An angel was sent to me  to comfort me. He appeared as a human undexpectedly as a friend took me on a girl’s trip to help my grief. He was at a department store and spoke to us then appeared again the next day walking up to Nancy and me again in a tiny store forty miles away. I can see his face in my mind. It seemed an unlikely and miraculous encounter. He told us he’d see us at the airport. Then Nancy and I turned away for a moment and turned back and he was gone. We looked for him up and down the street but he was nowhere. Believing he is my guardian angel, I started writing stories about angels living as humans in a town where the secret is kept that angels are all around us guiding us, sometimes appearing as humans. 

And so it is an honor to write the stories I’ve been told by friends, family and people I met at book fairs. These are true stories from their hearts, their encounters that changed their own lives. I ask them, ‘Tell me your angel stories’ and people do.

Writing this book was a labor of love and hopefully readers will see the humanity, the soul searching, the honesty and vulnerability many have shared with me. The themes involve child advocacy, friendship, bullying, romance with magical scenes of flying angels and visions of their missions. The storyline weaves it all together in a tapestry of hope. I’m sure that meeting my angel long ago gave me  hope to keep going and to ultimately write angel stories to inspire hearts. Tell me your angel story if you can. This novella is filled with encounters from the hearts of many who confidied in me their precious miraculous stories. I’ve put them into a fictional novella to radiate kindness and love. Angels are everywhere.

Tuesdays With The Angels-Threads of Love vs. Bullying

Posted on by

Many of us have been bullied as children or adults. We remember it don’t we? What we remember mostly is the love for us that is never ending from family, friends or a just from a moment of kindness from a stranger. Threads of love are here to stay. They can’t ever be destroyed by hate and are stronger than bursts of anger and fear which are the characteristics of bullying.  

  The thread of love is impenetrable.  Love is the winner in most of the films and shows we view like the films of superheroes who not only have  brawn but might,  the strength of love in their souls. There are millions of people who are superheroes to their families, their friends, their jobs, their constituents. Their might is made of love threads. If we only can recognize the superhero in ourselves. Bullies don’t have superhero qualities. They don’t  choose love over revenge, jealousy or hate.

What we, who fight hate in the world, can do is to just keep building upon our love for our fellowman, those less fortunate, those in need wherever in our world. Working together is a love thread for someone or something other than ourselves.

We need to be voting for people in our government positions who care about people and their families, their futures, applauding  goodness like  the superheroes on the screen. Humanity is humans being kind to other humans in spite of our different races, religions and creeds. 

In reality there is no place for the bully in society. For  bullying is synonamous with hate. But bullies can change if they really want to. What will it take? Will they learn from those of us who believe in fairness, love and kindness? Hope is always possible. I obviously believe in angels and write about love and bullying in my books. The bully always changes as I write. So I ask with a heart full of hope that all  bullies change somehow after an incident of kindness someone has done for them.

People who are role models of goodness can spark an idea, do a good deed or do something that might turn the bully’s head around.  The love thread is unbreakable.  I can almost hear the angels whisper to me in my mind, ” Love is forever triumphant. Nothing is impossible with love at the helm.”
