Paper Sparrow Synopsis:

  Paper Sparrow is a historical novel inspired by real-life events Australia from 1943 to 1955.  PEGGY is born to circumstances that deny her opportunities afforded to others. Before her thirteenth birthday, she had no choice but to work as a nursing aide in a home for the elderly. Aged fourteen, Peggy is drugged and raped. She travels from Sydney to Melbourne to see out her pregnancy without family or financial support. Her dark journey reveals a massive baby farming industry, untold sufferings, and life-long consequences to thousands of post-WWII women. Their babies are now known as The Stolen White Generations. Peggy's core conflict comes from her necessary involvement with a network of welfare officers and medical teams, all fuelled by monetary greed. Torment, near-slavery, and degradation are encouraged through social bigotry.  Peggy meets PETER, a man of the cloth, BINEHAM, a master of Chinese psychology and LILY, a welfare officer fighting for social justice. They foster her potential and lighten her journey. Peggy's baby is kidnapped from the birthing table and sold to a couple who have a ruthless plan to forbid Peggy from approaching her child legally. This action leads Peggy to incite reform through civil society to end social prejudice against single mothers and their children.

 Paper Sparrow appeals to a wide readership because it is an immersive work that encompasses a variety of themes and champions the power of self-discovery.

The Nile 

 Since its first edition in 1990, when The Healing Power of Crystals blazed its trail into the annals of alternative medicine, orthodox medicine itself has changed dramatically.

 The Healing Power of Crystals took nine years to compile and write. My research used evidence from practitioners working with adults, children and animals. During that time, I took Gemmology, studied at The Royal Astronomical Society/London Library, and conferred with Eastern and Western astrologers and numerologists.

  The Healing Power of Crystals lists gemstones and talismans matched by chemicals, structure, water content, etc., to heavenly bodies. So-called "Birthstones" sold in jewellery have nothing to do with planetary harmony. The American Jewellers Association chose them to boost sales in the jewellery industry. Their list grows with the discovery of a new gem, so that is why most jewellery shop birthstones have no affinity with the wearer.

  This book started many copycat "authors" who make a living re-writing a best-selling book, changing words and minerals here and there, generally flooding the market with misinformation. The title "The Healing Power of Crystals" has also been grabbed and used to label articles and beauty salons and even used as a title on two poorly informed books.

My Feng Shui is written clearly and easily understood, simplifying antidotes, cures and enhancements, which are often confusing to the Western mind.

My Feng Shui guides the reader through a realm of ancient wisdom where a feather can be as powerful as a white tiger and where dragons, bells and crystals reside with the turtle.

  The prosperity of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Singapore has been based on and nurtured by Feng Shui. Compare the close-knit unity of Eastern families against their fragmented Western counterparts. Any doubt regarding the validity of this social science must cease to exist. We must activate the art of Feng Shui placement to attract the enrichment needed to make our life journey as pleasant and abundant as possible.

Feng Shui is not a religion but a form of art. It is older than written history and can be traced to the Zhou Dynasty, an 800-year period noted to enlarge the Chinese empire and promote philosophy.
