Because Heather and I have both read this book, we’re both going to give you our thoughts. Naturally, with my background as a romance writer, I am always cognizant of the love story, while Heather, with her background in dark literary, often brings different filters to her reading. Two for the price of one!

From the back cover:

In Mary’s world there are simple truths.

The Sisterhood always knows best.

The Guardians will protect and serve.

The Unconsecrated will never relent.

And you must always mind the fence that surrounds the village. The fence that protects the village from the Forest of Hands and Teeth.

But slowly, Mary’s truths are failing her. She’s learning things she never wanted to know about the Sisterhood and it’s secrets, and the Guardians and their power. And, when the fence is breached and her world is thrown into chaos, about the Unconsecrated and their relentlessness.

Now she must choose between her village and her future, between the one she loves and the one who loves her. And she must face the truth about the Forest of Hands and Teeth. Could there be life outside a world surrounded by so much death?

I (Heather) came across Kelliena at a Psychic & Holistic Health Fair I attended with my wonderful sister in law (shout out to Shelley!) last spring in Sackville, Nova Scotia. The fair was a blast! I bought some stones from the Little Mysteries booth, had a deeply warm and relaxing Reiki session, saw some really cool items and got some new ideas, and was fortunate enough to choose Kelliena to do a reading for me.

It was amazing! I walked into the reading area, sat down and said, “Hi, I'm Heather. What do you need from me?” I've never done that before. Really! Have never been that up front in asking a psychic what it was they needed to know before they could tell me what I needed to know.

Kelliena's answer: “Nothing.” And then (okay, I'm getting chills again just thinking about it) she started telling me what was going on in my life. And what was going to come to pass.

It was so freaky! Because everything I'd discussed with Shelley over the weekend about what I was feeling in my life currently and transitionally, Keilliena reiterated. I'm talking almost word for word here. She didn't vaguely affirm what I was feeling – she articulated it precisely! That reading felt like a gift.

I was so impressed with Kelliena, I invited her to do an interview with Norah and me for this blog. She kindly agreed. Here is the result:

Norah and I hit a thrift store on Friday night before our plotting session (our ultra-productive plotting session, that is). And I picked up a few more candle holders.

My daughter wrote a paper about tattoos in Grade 12 Sociology a couple of years ago.  Part of it addressed women and tattoos, which I thought was really interesting. Here’s an excerpt from her paper:

All right then. If you've been reading along with this blog, then you probably realize Norah's the cool one of this artistic duo. While she has Death Cab in her CD-player, I'm the one singing along with the soundtrack from Hairspray (I saw the movie THREE times and went to a fan-freaken-tastic live performance of it at Fredericton's Playhouse). Chances are I'll be belting out 'Good Morning Baltimore' as I work around the kitchen later this morning, much to the cringing (delight!) chagrin of anyone within earshot. While Norah is up on all the popular TV shows, I'm curled up on the couch in front of Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune most every weeknight (my youngest son Conor, who has severe autism/profound developmental delays enjoys that hour of game shows so I rarely miss that time with him.

So, in an attempt to up my cool factor ... I'll introduce you to a bit of my candle collection. Well, okay, maybe collecting candles and candle holders doesn't make me 'cool'. Maybe it doesn't vault me up there into the realm of adventurous. But I love it!
