Her doctor tells Arianna that she must take a vacation to heal from her struggles that life gave her.Arianna and her family go to England, the place of her dreams. It is there that she takes a tour of the ruins of Camelot with a man named Edmund Winters. It is there that at the lake that Arianna unearths Excalibur. Edmund tells Arianna that she must return Excalibur to her rightful owners. This is ludicrous to Arianna after all 'her owners are dead, they are ghosts.' She is wrong. Arianna finds herself back in Camelot in the Sixth Century. It is there that Edmund reveals that he is really Merlin and helps Arianna form a friendship with King Arthur before he dies in battle with his son Modred.

At that time I started writing poetry and short stories. I also fell in love with Medieval History and read many books on the subject.After I married my gifts were placed on hold. My work, I was a hairdresser for twenty-five years and having a family took precedence.My husband John fell ill and after some time passed the care took its toll but in the interim I started writing again as I was writing to Museums and Maritime Record Boards for information about my uncles and their affects.

These will help greatly as I plan on writing a book on their lives and journey on the Great Lady RMS Titanic.Shortly after my husbands illness was diagnosed my son John showed signs of being ill himself and after extensive tests we found out that John has Tourette Syndrome, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and ODD (Oppositional Defiance Disorder) and as of late he was diagnosed as being Emotionally Disturbed.At the height of literally falling apart myself from the constant care of two people that I love and I Thank God for every day and the close relationship that I have with my daughter Andrea, I saw the movie 'Merlin' starring actor Sam Neill.
