Since 2003 I have had the absolute privilege to be a full time author, having had my first short article published in a zine in the late 90's.  My first paid articles were for alternative and mainstream magazines, including the part-work Enhancing Your Mind Body Spirit.  In 2005 I started experimenting with publishing my own books, and after the birth of my one and only son in 2007 I started developing that hobby into a business, which thrives today as Avalonia publishing, which has allowed me to around my son's disability and has allowed me the freedom to continue with my work as a Priestess and Devotee of the Goddess of the Crossroads.

Ancient Oracle of the Goddess Ishtar

"Not shalt thou fear, The howl of winds which rush upon thee, I command it, that they shall not crush thee. Thy foes like hogs of the reed-swamps in the month Siman from before thy feet destroys thy foes. I am the great Beltis, I am Ishtar of Arbela who before thy feet destroys thy foes.  What plants that I utter for thee do not prove real before me? " ~ Ancient Oracles, Stoneman
