It wasn't supposed to happen. Not again. But it did. Kilauea erupted on February 22, 1969. It's now February 22, 2019, fifty years later.

Sara and Jason are newlyweds, on their honeymoon in Hawaii. While exploring the lava tubes at Kaumana Caves, they find two stray puppies, scared by the tremors preceding a volcanic eruption, and attempt to rescue them.

Sara and Jason don't know it yet, but they're about to embark on a time travel adventure into a parallel reality through a rip in time. Separated by fifty years and an erupting volcano, can they find each other again?

And what does Ben, the owner of the Kairos Coffee Shop, have to do with all of this?

Pond-Side Philosopies

Two philosophies, one pond—because there’s more than one way to find your Zen.

Buddhi just wanted to drink coffee and write his book. But when you live by a pond with two highly opinionated philosophers—one a shimmering dragonfly sharing his wisdom, the other a contemplative and slightly grumpy frog—nothing is ever that simple.

Miles, the ever-gliding dragonfly, believes in movement, transformation, and going wherever the wind takes him. Harold, the rock-sitting, world-observing frog, believes in patience, stillness, and the occasional well-timed leap.

Both of them are absolutely certain their way is the right way. Both insist Buddhi should be taking notes. Both want to write their own book to share their philosophies.

As Buddhi tries (and fails) to focus on his own work, he finds himself caught in the middle of a hilarious, deeply philosophical, and occasionally exasperating battle between two very different perspectives on life.

Will they ever agree on anything? Will Buddhi ever get a moment of peace? Will Miles concede that rock sitting might have its moments? Will Harold finally accept that shimmering might have some value? (Spoiler: Probably not.)

POND-SIDE PHILOSOPHIES: DRAGONFLY WISDOM AND FROG ZEN is a lighthearted, thoughtful, and occasionally chaotic exploration of life, mindfulness, and the timeless battle between stillness and movement, contemplation and change, frogs and dragonflies.

And, yes, coffee will be spilled.

Available at Amazon... $4.99.

Peace, Love, and Zen Vibes

Buddhi, the quirky, coffee-fueled hippie, is blogging his way to mindfulness, one messy moment at a time. With wisdom as rich as his bad coffee and a sense of humor as irreverent as his beat-up ’68 VW bus, he shares his musings on life, love, and the art of finding Zen in the chaos.

From sitting through life’s storms to finding meaning in dragonfly wings, Buddhi’s posts are full of the everyday enlightenment you didn’t know you needed. Whether he’s reflecting on the universe over a sunflower’s bloom or tackling the mystery of why coffee tastes better by a lotus pond, his unique take on mindfulness will make you laugh, think, and maybe even breathe a little deeper.

A delightful companion to COFFEE STAINS AND DRAGONFLIES, this collection of blog posts is perfect for anyone searching for peace, purpose, or just a good laugh.

Grab your coffee—cracked mug optional—and join Buddhi on his journey of finding Zen vibes in the messy, beautiful adventure of life.

Available at Amazon... $4.99.

Sale ~ Finding Forever

 FINDING FOREVER is on a Kindle Countdown deal starting today for $0.99.

What if the love of your life slipped through your fingers... again and again?

Paige’s life is at a crossroads. Stuck in a soul-draining job and nursing a broken heart, the last thing she expects is to find hope in the form of a stray dog. But when she rescues a sweet little Chihuahua named Riley, something magical begins to happen.

When dreams about a man she’s never met—but feels she’s known forever—start weaving into her waking life, she begins to wonder if they’re more than just dreams. Drawn to a charming café with an otherworldly feel, Paige discovers that some connections transcend time and space.

Tom has always felt there was someone missing from his life. His dreams of a woman with eyes that seem to hold his very soul have him searching for answers. But as his life takes unexpected turns, he begins to wonder if the universe has other plans.

With the help of Riley, who might be a guardian angel in disguise, Paige and Tom’s paths are destined to cross. But fate has a way of throwing obstacles in the way, and time is running out for these two souls to reunite.

Will Paige and Tom find each other in this lifetime, or will their love remain lost in the echoes of past lives?

Perfect for fans of heartfelt love stories with a touch of magic, FINDING FOREVER is a tale of soulmates, second chances, and a little dog whose devotion transcends lifetimes.

Buddhi's Blog

 Oops. One of my characters has escaped from the pages of his book and started a blog... Peace, Love, and Zen Vibes.

Coffee Stains and Dragonflies

What if Buddha was a Zen hippie?

Buddhi isn’t your typical spiritual guide. Named “Buddha” by his free-spirited, hippie parents, he tweaked the name to something that felt a little more down-to-earth. After trading his Ferrari for a beat-up 1968 VW bus and swapping the chaos of Wall Street for a quiet lotus pond, he’s searching for enlightenment.

With a dragonfly named Miles as his muse, Buddhi has turned the pond into the epicenter of his journey toward mindfulness. Armed with a ukulele, truly terrible coffee, and an irreverent sense of humor, he blogs his way through life’s big questions and small absurdities.

As a revolving cast of quirky visitors show up at the pond, drawn to the unconventional wisdom on his blog, Peace, Love, and Zen Vibes, Buddhi begins to question whether mindfulness is really about stillness—or if it’s about dancing through the beautiful, messy chaos of life.

But the pond is just a stop on the journey, not the destination. As Buddhi wrestles with the messy beauty of life, he realizes that mindfulness isn’t about escaping the chaos—it’s about learning to groove with it, coffee stains and all.

Lighthearted, wise, and delightfully offbeat, Coffee Stains and Dragonflies invites you to embrace the messiness of life, one mindful moment at a time.

Sneak Peek

A few days ago, I was playing with a "what if" scenario and this totally beautiful idea popped into my mind. What if Buddha was a Zen hippie? I immersed myself in writing, the words are flowing, and the book will be finished soon. I love when this happens!

I've got a cover designer working on the cover, so I'll share soon...

Happiness is a #1 New Release!!

My newest novel is a #1 new release in New Age Reincarnation.

Book a Month

 I don't know what I was thinking... lol. I signed up to do a Book a Month challenge. I'm keeping a record of what I'm writing. You can follow my progress here.

Reflections ~ 2024

2024 was an interesting year. I had a major, life-changing event that totally threw me for a loop, and for a long time, I didn't write anything. But then, eventually, my words started calling to me again, and found their way to the pages.

I published two books, MEDITATING BY COFFEE: ZEN MORNING MEDITATIONS and FINDING FOREVER: SOULMATES REUNITED. I also updated the covers on my Echoes of Spirit series and my Writer's Workshop series.

Thought I'd offer you a look at what I plan to publish in 2025. I have sooo many ideas floating around in my mind, and I wish I could write them all, but these things take time. My plans (and they're always subject to change) are to update some of my older books, and to bring some out-of-print books back into being. I'm planning to publish two, maybe three, new books. And there's a novel or two lurking somewhere in my mind.

Looking back at 2024...

MEDITATING BY COFFEE offers a peaceful way to start your day. It invites you on a serene journey, where simply enjoying your morning coffee is transformed into moments of tranquility and reflection.

Each meditation is like a gentle whisper, encouraging you to embrace the quiet tranquility of dawn with your coffee cup in hand. These meditations are your early-morning companions, guiding you to a place of calm contemplation, awakening your inner self, and creating the light of positivity for the day ahead.

FINDING FOREVER: SOULMATES REUNITED is a story about soulmates, second chances, and a little dog whose devotion transcends lifetimes. Paige has dreams about a man she's never met whose eyes seem to look into her soul. Tom is also having dreams about a woman he's never met, but feels he's known forever.

When Paige rescues a sweet little Chihuahua named Riley, something magical begins to happen. Their paths are destined to cross, but it seems that fate is throwing obstacles in their way. It's up to Riley to bring these two souls together.

Looking forward to 2025...

I'm currently in the process of updating MAGICAL MIND GARDENS, which offers 365 magical thoughts that invite you to grow your life into a beautiful garden of harmony and light. I'm expanding the magical thoughts to include more detail. This book is going to be a whopper at 400+ pages. I hope to have it finished sometime in February.

I'm also updating MAGICAL MIND, MAGICAL LIFE to include more material. These are the first two books in the Echoes of Mind series. 

REALITY IS AN ILLUSION: WANT TO PLAY A MAGICAL GAME is the third book in the Echoes of Mind series and will be published on June 29th. It's up for preorder at Amazon... $4.99.

 You create your reality from the inside out through your thoughts, feelings, and actions. What you experience in your life is a reflection of what you see and feel in your mind, and in your imagination, before it becomes real in your life. That’s the reality of illusion.

Invites you to explore the magic of your mind and create a masterpiece of happiness, light, and joy. Everything you need is already within you—waiting to make your reality everything you’ve always wanted it to be and more. 

I'll be bringing out a revised edition of SPIRIT TO SELF: LITTLE REMINDERS OF WHO YOU TRULY ARE... A POWERFUL SPIRITUAL BEING OF LIGHT with a new cover. I'm thinking September or October.

This beautiful book reminds you of the true nature of your spirit—of the love, light, joy, and harmony that is your spiritual birthright. Think of this book as pages from the spiritual owner's manual you forgot to bring with you when you decided to have a physical experience.

I also plan to have a freebie book to promote the new edition. Something about gifts from your spirit...

And speaking of the owner's manual, I'm also planning to write and publish this book. It offers a roadmap of how to maneuver through physical energies while remaining true to your spiritual nature.

Earth is the great testing ground of all our ideas, hopes, dreams, agreements, and commitments we made before birth. It’s a school where we put into practice all that we learned—or think we learned—on the spiritual plane. It's about 1/4 done at the moment. Pub date will probably be November.

I've got several novels in various stages of writing that may or may not be completed and published next year. But the characters are calling to me, begging me to write their stories. So how can I refuse? We'll see what happens... :)
