    Disarming, warm and always accessible, Janelle Barker’s poems make ordinary experiences glow.

    Everything that suffuses her emotive expression is here: love, compassion, insight, lyrical precision and the clear, simple honesty that reveals how life can turn in a moment. Musing on undercurrents and connections between family, nature, memory, motherhood and the world of circumstantial events that have created our culture and our fears. The poems in this aspiring collection begin on the surface and then delve us, gracefully effortlessly, to a far more thought-provoking place.

    Grounded in experiences and perceptions, with all human mysteries and consolations, they resonate with a passionate, sensuous honesty that only a new Indie Author can expressly create.

Isabel's child will reshape the modern world as they know it; including the monarchy and all the lands surrounding.

    Chloe and Isabel are part Cathar which means for them to live in constant threat and fear as they oppose the Catholic Church. Chloe will protect her sister, Isabel, from the evil that comes for them until their last breath...even as fate propels demons to haunt them; they must remain true to the knowing that Isabel's newborn son will become the true king of the land as he is to be...
