It began with a simple poster in my doctor’s office.
Are you an Owl, a Turtle, or a Tiger? it asked.
That question sparked something, a curiosity that grew into a story. With thirteen grandchildren, each walking their own path through childhood and becoming, I wanted to offer them a tale. A love story of discovery. A gentle invitation to reflect, connect, and remember what matters most.
Keeper of the Clearing is written for a time like this. Where the world feels noisy, divided, and uncertain. It’s a woodland fable about listening deeply, acting wisely, and finding courage in unlikely places.
In a forest unraveling from confusion and conflict, three unexpected travelers, Owl, Turtle, and Tiger, are chosen to search for a new way forward. What they discover isn’t a map, it’s something far more enduring: the strength that comes from walking together, with kindness and care.
This is a story meant for the young and the not-so-young. A compass, not to lead you somewhere new, but to remind you where you are, and who you truly are, is enough.
In the SECOND book in the Keeper series, the journey continues!
Winds of Change
Turtle still abides in the Keeper’s teachings, even as the world around him transforms. Owl has grown quiet, watching from above, while Tiger begins to follow new voices promising certainty in an uncertain world. When the Great Elephant of Knowledge appears in the mist, the forest is reminded that change is not the exception, it is the nature of all things.
Each must learn to live with change, to meet it with openness rather than fear.
Winds of Change is a story of trust, transformation, and awakening to life’s only constant: change itself.
