FEATURED FICTION RELEASE... Slave of God: a devadasi's tale. Over a millennium ago, a princess of India named Lakshimi Cholan abandoned her royal status to become a temple slave, a devadasi. Under the tutelage of her Master Mananda, she is introduced to the mysteries of Tantra-the ancient art of sacred sexuality. When the scheming Swami Bhagwan forces Mananda's decision to leave the temple, Lakshimi must decide if her obedience to God, or her love for her Master will rule the decisions of her heart. Adult historical fiction.
FEATURED NON-FICTION RELEASE... Exposing the Demon: the true nature of an eating disorder and what you can do to defeat it. After 13 years of anorexia and bulimia, I healed myself through meditation and prayer, and tried to forget my disorder. But when others asked for my help so they too could recover, my compassion and sympathy overruled that decision. Exposing the Demon uncovers the internal source of an eating disorder by examining it in a metaphysical light, and instructs the reader to use her emotions, imagination and spirit to regain her health... not for a while, but for good.
