Dark Perfume: Tales of Light and Shadow is a collection of 33 tales of … you guessed it: light and shadow! ;-)
Among the stories in this volume
*~ you will delve into our legends of other worlds;
*~ you will discover love lost and found, hope reborn, and emotional courage;
*~ you will read of telepathy, prophetic visions, magic, otherworldly power, and subtle energies;
*~ you will witness individual conflicts of light and shadow.
While some of these tales cover our familiar themes of healing and natural magic, or of personal or spiritual growth, not all of the stories have a happy ending … that’s simply how the characters played it. We dance to their tune!
Perhaps they like to keep you, our readers, on your toes ...
... or perhaps the light simply balances the dark ... a delicate dance of yin and yang ...
Dark Perfume: Tales of Light and Shadow is a little over 51,000 words of story (that’s around half the length of The Cordello Quest, and about 170 paperback pages.)

We shared excerpts from the book as we approached its release, with posts on our blog and on our social media ‘haunts’ on Facebook and Twitter. We invited readers to an Event on Facebook, too, with an optional (and free) clear quartz crystal healing session (celebrating short story 'Prism'!)
These excerpts have been added to our Dark Perfume slideshow (see below). If you hover your cursor at the top-right corner of each slide, you can advance to the next one at your own pace. There are a further four excerpts toward the bottom of our Home page.
