Second Messenger

"Second Messenger" is a bright, new star of visionary fiction that restates timeless truths in a cutting-edge context. The rollicking tale weaves heroes, villains, romance, and Divine Intervention to deliver a wallop that readers describe as a cross between James Redfield's "The Celestine Prophecy" and Robert Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land."

Although they were born a thousand miles apart, Kitty's and Gale's aspirations led them down the same life path. Gale earned his degree in Speech Communication from the University of Iowa, where he attended its prestigious Writers Workshop, while Kitty juggled single motherhood and worked toward a degree in Journalism at the University of Utah. Its no wonder their probabilities blended so magically more than twenty years ago. As they later plied their skills in corporate America, writing marketing and business proposals, each of them harbored a secret desire to find a life partner with whom to write the things of their hearts. Not so coincidentally, their hearts whispered of Spirit.

Today they live in the mountains west of Boulder, Colorado, sharing their forest home with Ripley, their resident Fur Being, and the woodland animals who visit the Connell sanctum. Gale and Kitty devote their time to family, their life-long spiritual studies, and writing together.

Gale and Kitty choose the quiet life, because (to paraphrase Mary Stewart's Merlin) God cannot speak to the mind too busy to listen.
