Hello, my friends!
On October 1st, Forged in Dreams and Magick skyrocketed up the Amazon Best Seller’s list, reaching as high as #4 Scottish. It remained in the top ten for five consecutive days and has remained in the top twenty ever since. Yesterday and today it climbed yet again, hanging out in the top ten as high as #8 with the likes of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander books.
October 1st also happened to be the day when a guest post I wrote, “Self-Discovery: A Theme in Forged in Dreams and Magick” appeared on Nikki’s blog, Ramblings of a Chaotic Mind.
Why is Forged in Dreams and Magick‘s ranking important to Self-discovery?
As I briefly alluded in my Goodreads profile, the last year and half has been a time of soul searching for me. Transitioning from a creature of selfish to one of selfless. Giving before receiving. Abandoning my ego, which had a firm hold of me, and looking outward to find meaning in life. Those who have read the quotes on my Twitter timeline and in Utterly Loved can see the mantras that have come from my odyssey. They are still my guiding thoughts.
I am… Always the student, seeking to master.
Well, it’s my personal self-discovery that led me to allocate a percentage of the net profits of all my books to select charities that fight against the tragedy of human trafficking. The more successful Forged in Dreams and Magick is, the greater my ability to help those who are lost in this world find their way home again.
You are all in this with me. I thank you for your kindness and generosity. I’m thrilled Forged in Dreams and Magick is doing so well, and I hope it continues so together we can make a huge difference in this world.

In the wake and current onslaught of Superstorm Sandy, I’m moved to share a poem that inspires giving. I encourage anyone who is able, please give what you can to those in need and encourage others to do so.

Heart is found where connected
Love blooms forth least expected
Round eyes stare in hopefulness
Grace shines warmth in soft caress
Hero grants a selfless gift
Lost no longer left adrift
Saved beam bright adoring smiles
Warriors fight across the miles
Kindness spreads with love unfurled
Peace ignites around the world
