A Matter of Loyalty
After suffering grief at the loss of her family, Grand Duchess Anastasia Nicholaevna finds the forgiveness that helps her. Her story is one of love and loyalty not just for her husband who helped rescue her from imprisonment but for a world of wilderness and beauty she comes to know outside the one of war and revolution. Her love and loyalty encircle not just family both human and non human but the man who opened freedom’s gate for her.
Time is of the Essence
It was helf past midnight when Harry, Amelia and Natasha stood in the midst of an empty circus arena. Vorelis began going through his famous light show routine. On ordinary occasions, midway through such a routine, people would have been brought to their feet with cheers and applause. Now there was no audience. Vorelis stepped beyond what he ordinarily did during a show. The light performance quickly became something else. Suddenly the arena disappeared. Harry, Amelia and Natasha found themselves standing in a field. It was daylight and in the distance cows were grazing.
The Sundisk
“There is a legend that if one gazes at the horizon from the summit of the mountain, he will glimpse the land from whence we came.”
The writings of Colonel James Churchward and his lifetime search for the lost land of Mu were the inspiration for The Sundisk.
In her debut novel, Gail Logan takes her characters on an emotional and spiritual quest for this lost world, where Eden-like splendor melds with the grandeur of a golden age.
Through their quest for the forgotten island, a remnant of the fabulous continent of Mu, the characters reach deep within themselves to make a spiritual discovery of the place.
Logan’s work suggests that the fabulous lost continent may emerge again when men mend their differences, live in peace with themselves, and respect the beauty of the natural world.
Gertie’s Dream Garden
Sometimes, it is easier to convey an idea through a poem rather than a lengthy narrative, so I’ve chosen a collection of my poems to express my views on the importance of a healthy ecosystem.
My poems deal with the plight of animal species that struggle to survive in a world of environmental change and habitat loss.
