And with a full moon overhead, this awesome power reaches its climactic height.

For, at long last, she had left Edinburgh to see the world. She and her mother were visiting the elegant city of Bath. Sorcha was wearing the finest dress she''d seen - and she was stepping into a life she''d only dreamt of.

Haiku. A crystalline drop of vision, delicately colored, conveying a pinpoint moment in time. Starting with its structure of five-seven-five syllables, its possibilities are endless. Meld that in with wet-on-wet watercolor, the very essence of patience and release of expectations, and you have a combination which inspires and soothes. Artist Lisa Shea provides seasonally-themed pairings of words and images which tantalize and delight. In each case she pondered the poem while sitting down with a six-inch by six-inch piece of watercolor paper. She then made one and only one pass at creating an image to go with that poem. There were no do-overs. There were no fixer-uppers. Just as in life, she took a deep breath, and began. The result was often swayed by water movement, air movement, and other factors far beyond her control. And that''s all right. The journey is what matters. Join Lisa on her journey, and share your thoughts on the results! * * * Haiku of the Great Blue Hill - Poetry and Watercolors of Massachusetts is Lisa''s first book of published poetry.

In our rushed, hectic, go-go-go modern world, it can be hard to remember to take care of yourself. But this one body is all each of us has to make it through an entire lifetime. What we do to our bodies - the stress we subject them to, the damage we do to the muscles and ligaments - stays with us every waking moment. We owe it to ourselves to nurture this delicate vehicle which moves us through our world. Yoga for Stress Relief and Forgiveness provides a step by step recipe for calm and healing. Author Lisa Shea has been following this practice for a decade and over time has tweaked and polished the steps until each one resonates with serenity. Study after study finds that yoga helps with lower back pain, depression, energy levels, balance, post-traumatic stress, focus, sleep, and much more. Whether you need to reset after a busy day or wish to have more joy in your daily life, yoga can help. It nurtures your body and embraces your soul. Join us to take that first step forward into a healthier, happier you. Namaste. This book Yoga for Stress Relief and Forgiveness is intended to be free on all systems, to help those who are in need of support find a step toward a more contented life. If the system you are currently on requires a charge to download, all author''s proceeds will benefit battered women''s shelters. If you have never done yoga at all, I highly recommend you start with a live human being helping you in person. That person can ensure you hold the poses in a healthy, safe way. If you don''t have access to a human, at least use a video of some sort to see the poses in motion. It''s like learning the harp or learning to swim - you need to see how the whole body moves. My book then helps you understand my personal sequence of poses, to create an atmosphere of stress relief and forgiveness. Feel free to contact Lisa if you have any questions about her routine - she''s happy to help!

Kathy Taylor had weathered eight rough years as a black female police officer in Boston - but enough was enough. She turned in her badge, moved up north, and set up shop as a private investigator in historic Salem, Massachusetts. Now she''s surrounded by Wiccans and herbalists, by crystal shops and psychic pizza-deliverymen. And her first client has just stepped in the door. The Lucky Cat is the starting point in the Salem Massachusetts Mini Mystery series. These short stories were written and loaded one a day from October 1 through October 31, 2014. You can read them one-by-one if you wish, or, if you prefer, you can read them as a complete boxed set. All author''s proceeds from this series benefit battered women''s shelters. Lisa has lived in scenic Massachusetts since 1986, with only two brief forays out of state. One of Lisa''s ancestors was Ann Foster, who died during the Salem Witch Trials. Ann Foster was a grandmother by that time and sacrificed herself to protect her daughter and granddaughter. Ann had been born in England, came over in 1635, and was 75 by the time of the trials. Salem reached its dark depths during those trials from 1692-1693 - but since then has healed, blossomed, and now shines. Salem features the amazing Peabody Essex Museum, a plethora of gorgeous historic architecture, and a beautiful coastline. It''s well worth a visit. If you can''t go in person, enjoy a virtual trip through Lisa''s first-hand descriptions!
