"... presenting spiritual lessons wrapped in the framework of narrative storytelling... The book's strongest element is it's raw, emotional depth... The way spirituality is explained here is less about doctrine and more about personal experience which makes it engaging for those who have ever questioned the nature of existence or had an unexplained experience of their own... One thing that stands out is the book's poetic and philosophical writing style...it dances, it drifts, it spirals into deep thought. Small Tales and Visits to Heaven is a fascinating and thought provoking read."

Thank you Literary Titan, my deepest gratitude!!

If achievement is in recognition then my baby is all grown up. Facing the literary frontier pen and paper first sprouted legs in format when I compiled journal notes of short stories about spiritual learning and threw in some psychic readings as a framework. Seemed fitting for life's progress at the time, that was years ago.

The book came together after 9 years of meditation. Life consisted of meditation, walking, and writing...the baby yawned and stretched her legs a bit. In the 10th year, I mapped out the stories and started typing at the local library because I didn't have a computer....she began to crawl. I had enough notes for two novels, a non-fiction book, and poetry books. I published it because I believed in the story and that it would resonate with others.

The book was first published by a traditional publisher...baby book careened like a skilled toddler. I was over the top happy. There is nothing like seeing your baby all dressed up and polished with a book cover all its own.

Sibling books glided on their own, following footsteps.

Small Tales and Visits to Heaven XI

To help spell the story out there are small tales, or short stories, throughout that highlight the spiritual discoveries as lessons. It now has a new set of clothes in a new cover design.

I was happy that it was going over well with readers and due to life circumstances haven't done a book signing tour, yet.

Beaming with happiness I read a 4 Star Star from Literary Titan and I was thrilled.

You know, as writers, how much work and passion goes into your creations, your babies. It's just nice to have it read and appreciated for what it is.

Literary Titan has been around for over a decade and is as passionate about what they do for authors as the writers themselves. They are top-notch professionals.

The book was entered and won a prestigious Literary Titan Book Award. I felt like God had balanced all those baby steps and the book was now standing on its own. I was so excited I kept saying over and over to myself "I won, I won, my book won!" with not a soul in the room. It's pending now for the Amazon A-One list. My heart was pounding with so much excitement that I didn't settle down for two days.

A big thank you to Literary Titan and to readers everywhere.

    This book sounds really interesting. The idea of using narrative to convey spiritual lessons is great. I like how it focuses on personal experience rather than doctrine. Makes me wonder how you decided which stories to include to best illustrate those lessons. And publishing it after 9 years of meditation shows a lot of dedication.
