 Dancing
the River Lightly
by R.H.
Sheldon
A Matter of
Life, Death,
and More Important Things…
Paul Kazinski’s spiritual quest began with a dream, a
dream in which God told him that it might not be a bad idea
to take a little trip. God also mentioned—as an
afterthought—that Paul should use the time to settle down a
bit, to take a breather from his busy schedule. “Whatever
sounds good to you,” God said, “just don’t make too big a
deal out of the whole thing.”
—from Chapter One, “Sunday Afternoon”
And so begins Paul's quest, as he and five others—strangers
with little in common—embark on a journey of discovery and
self-realization, a journey that seems anything but natural.
After a series of unlikely events leads this small group to
the Cascade Mountains, they become stranded by a torrential
downpour that forces each of them to confront their own
ghosts, even as they struggle to survive the storm.
Dancing the River Lightly takes you on a fun romp
through a world where fantasy merges with reality, fact with
fiction. Anyone who is a fan of magical realism, spiritual
adventure, and a twisting, whimsical plot will enjoy the
nonstop ride. As amusing as it is thoughtful, Dancing the
River Lightly challenges our notions about our place in
the world and how we got there.
Daydreams, Moonbeams and
Wings over the Common
(From the Tail of a Magpie)
Louisa
Middleton-Blake
 We
meet Maggie in Sussex, in the South of England, and follow
him to Wales where he takes us on adventures to the farthest
reaches of the Otherworld. Maggie is a Magpie and the tale
told by his ‘Pinky’ is extraordinary. “Pinkies is wot I
calls you humans,” he answered crossly.
Maggie’s ‘Pinky’ found him on the ground as a baby, about to
become fodder for two food seeking crows. She rescued the
little Magpie and nursed him back to health, unaware of what
a large amount of mischief one tiny bird would wreak.
‘Daydreams’ is not simply a book about a mischievous bird.
It contains some rich history, both personal and of the
area. It describes the sights, sounds, and smells of places
I have never had an opportunity to see, but now feel I know
a little at least. It contains mythological stories related
by some of Maggie’s various feathered acquaintances and by
Maggie himself. (Although, he often seemed to make things up
as he went along).
Daydreams, Moonbeams and Wings over the Common (From the
Tail of a Magpie), like its title, is a long read, and I
loved every page. I found myself nearing the end of my
workday and looking forward to the fact that soon I would be
comfortable in my chair with my cat in my lap, and Maggie
filling my mind with his wit and wisdom. Maggie and his
pinky split the chapters so that half of the voice is his
own.
Louisa Middleton-Blake wrote a delightful book and her
imagination is amazing. Visit this refreshing look at life.
I suggest you make it a point to meet Maggie, an uncommon
Magpie born on the Common.
Away Games
by Kay Spang
Bored with
weekend drag shows hosted by the Seattle gay community, a
group of adventurous lesbians plans a series of spicy
escapades.
The women create five role-playing "away games" to be held
at various locations. Armed with scripts, wardrobes, and a
thirst for fun, the group travels to a Wild West gold town,
a tropical island, a frozen army base, a pirate ship, and a
high mountain hunting lodge to test physical strength and
inner strength.
As the women take on their temporary identities, competing
with each other for awards (and each other), they find
themselves in increasingly intense relationships.
