Rearranged

August 5, 2020

Things are not how I thought they would be.
Storms have swept in and broken our arranged lives apart.
We’ve had to rearrange, rethink, learn to be in a different space.
It can be difficult,
If we choose to look that way.
Or it can be filled with new nooks and different corners
Around where undiscovered treasure might lie.
And in a place, we wouldn’t have looked at all,
Wouldn’t have looked unless there had been the storms.

Off to the Grocery

April 10, 2020

4/10/2020

I’m not really one for writing a journal or a diary or anything like that. I do, however, believe this particular juncture in history deserves a few thoughts.

So, I went to the grocery with my husband early this morning. It didn’t open until seven, so we were there when the doors opened. There were people waiting, no doubt with the very same idea. Early bird gets the worm or in this case snags the toilet paper. Who would have thought? It’s a great day when I can find toilet paper. So, the ratio of masked to unmasked individuals was about 50 to 50 today. Some of the cashiers and the store manager in particular, who we recognized, were unmasked. Maybe they got a memo we didn’t that things aren’t as perilous anymore. Though with the yo-yo sort of messaging we seem to be getting these days from the top, its anybody’s guess. But my husband and I were masked. Better to err on the side of caution, we’ve always said.

But back to the grocery. I’ve got to say I’ve never been a great fan of going to the grocery. But these days, in the midst of a pandemic, I will admit I absolutely dread it. We try to only go once a week. And are in and out as quickly as we can. And meals are planned these days around what we can get, rather than what we want. Let me be clear though. I’m not so obtuse not to realize than many people have it much worse and have had it much worse before this even started. This is my observation and acknowledgement that things have changed. A lifestyle that admittedly we all took for granted is there no more. We have to adjust and wait to see what comes next.

Back to the grocery. There are kindnesses there, a grocery store employee stocking the shelves, masked, who goes out of his way to locate what I need. Who I thank profusely, because I appreciate the small kindnesses right now, and no one can tell if I’m smiling behind my mask. There are frustrations, people stopping with their baskets in the middle of the aisle unconcerned that they leave no path around them, no way to maintain that social distance. Sure, you can wait, but it does go on and on.

And the feeling. That is the worst. Trips to the grocery were never this taxing. But the place is permeated with a sense of urgency, anxiety, and yes sadness. Those afraid their world has changed, is lost, and will never come back again. And those who resist, refuse to acknowledge the change.

I was always amazed with people after terrorism attacks or gun violence who just refuse to act with any sort of caution, who will not allow their behavior to be altered. After the mass shooting in Aurora, Colorado’s movie theater, I would not step foot in a movie theater for some time. If there was a shark attack off a beach in Florida, I was not going in the water. But others, well, they will not allow their lives to change. Which is their choice, I suppose. But how is this different? Oh yes, we’re all connected. If you go on your merry way and don’t social distance, don’t wear a mask, you could get sick, then spread it to me. You might be fine, but me, not so much. Like Mother Theresa says, “We all belong to each other.” I don’t know about you, but I feel the weight of that. I suppose this is a time to look around. Any moment that guy over there, who is suffering, who is out of work, who doesn’t have enough to eat, could be me. So, if I take care of him, if we all take care of him, maybe when it’s my turn, someone will help me out. It all turns on a dime. Think about it. I do, all the time.

Gravier’s Bookshop: A New Orleans Paranormal Mystery – Caroline Breslin always knew that she would have to live her life differently. Being an extremely sensitive and gifted empath in a family full of psychics has led her to lead a rather cautious existence. But she is determined to strike out on her own, moving out of the protection of her Prytania Street home. And all is going well, except of course if you don’t count the neighbor upstairs in her apartment building who may, or may not, be a dark witch, and the increasing flow of malevolent energy that seems to be directed just her way. All of that and trying to make ends meet seems a bit much for this rather inexperienced New Orleans girl. The last thing that Caroline wants to do is run back to her family for help, even though she is painfully over her head. What she really needs is a knight in shining armor or maybe just that guy that keeps haunting her dreams.

Max Gravier had no intention of becoming a recluse, but after his wife’s death it seems his life is heading in that direction. He spends his time running Gravier’s Bookshop on Magazine Street and occasionally, on the quiet, helps the police solve a crime with his psychic sensitivities.

The journey begins with one woman’s unstoppable quest for vengeance against a supernatural creature in “Wolves,” and continues in an old historical graveyard where a horrifying discovery is uncovered in “Emma Fallon.” In “The Soul Shredder,” a psychiatrist’s unusual patient opens his eyes to a disturbing new view of reality, while in “Wildflowers,” a woman strikes up a supernatural friendship with impossible implications.

Just Released Travels into the Breach

December 4, 2018

Just Released!! Hop on board the paranormal adventures of Malachi McKellan and Simon Tull this holiday season as they tangle with ghosts, witches, demons, vampires, and everything in between.

At first glance, his life seems quiet, serene, and even uneventful. Malachi McKellan, a 65 five year old widower and author of esoteric books, lives largely as a recluse in a house situated just off the banks of Bayou St. John in New Orleans. But unbeknownst to most, he is also a bit of a detective, a specific kind of detective whose specialty is psychic attacks. Alongside his lifelong companion and spirit guide Simon Tull, a nineteenth century, twenty something English gent, Malachi battles the unseen, and is an unacknowledged hero to the most vulnerable – most of the population who have no idea what is really happening beneath the surface of the world in which they live.

In this collection of adventures, Malachi McKellan and Simon Tull wage war against the most insidious elements of the paranormal. In “The Three,” Malachi and Simon come to the aid of a young woman being victimized by a group of dark witches. An old apartment building is the scene of an unimaginable battle against monstrous forces in “The Lost Soul.” Malachi and Simon find themselves strategizing against a psychic vampire in “Obsession,” and “The Hotel” turns back time to the 1980’s where Malachi confronts a demonic spirit. In “Between,” a past life is revisited as Malachi attempts to rescue a beloved sister from committing her existence to vengeance, and “The Wedding” takes a personal turn when Malachi must confront painful truths while endeavoring to protect his niece from a potentially devastating union. Travel into the Breach with a pair of paranormal warriors who choose to confront overwhelming forces on a battlefield unsuspected by most.

Now available in paperback and eBook formats.
