Excerpt 1 – The Stolen Tower – The Light Beyond the Storm Chronicles – Book III
© A. L. Butcher
“So, you are the Heart of the Mountain. What can you show me, I wonder?” Kherak
muttered, pulling her thoughts back to the task in hand. She settled back in her armchair with
the crimson embroidered and beaded Shamanic Shawl across her shoulders. The item was
old, far older than the Shaman herself, and imbued with magic, for it had passed down from
Shaman to Shaman, and each woman had added to it. To all appearances it was simply the
shawl of an old woman, but there was nothing simple about the garment. It was a symbol of
status, an heirloom with much Power and, of course, it kept her warm.
A pearlescent glow rose in the Opal, which hovered above the Circle adorning the table.
Colours shifted and, as she placed the Heart of the Mountain over the large stone, the red and
black pattern began to move, swirling like a whirlpool. “I am Kherak Var, Shaman, as my kin
have been before me. Show me your secrets; guide me in seeking my kin.”
This was strong and wild magic, flowing in a torrent which was close to sweeping the
ailing woman away with its force. Suddenly a voice rumbled around, timbre low like thunder,
drawing her in and making the old Shaman tingle in ways she had not experienced for many
years. The language was strange, ancient and arcane, the very language of the earth. Such
words Kherak had seldom heard; the sound held Power, the very essence of magic and rose
like a song. She had not expected this, even with all her foretelling. Peering into the depths of
the Opal, the images swirled like mist on the mountain and the shifting vision would not yield
further. “You will reveal, my eyesight fades but my Sight is clear. You will reveal to me, as is
my right and my Power.”
The humming Opal whined with a painful shrill, and tired Kherak fought the errant vision
to do her bidding. The Shaman’s Focus shifted— partly in the Realm of Dreams and partly
remaining in the mundane world. In Astral Sight the Opal loomed large and bright, a globe of
dancing images woven in mist; before her rose a peak of reddish stone, run through with
black veins arising from a lake of greenish water, and high in the peak an arch looked out
across the lake, weathered but dark and foreboding. As she watched, the lake filled with
blood, and screams echoed in her head. As quickly as it had appeared Kherak saw the half-
dream flicker away to be replaced by a high-roofed chamber of rock, lit with crystal, and in
the centre a red and black stone statue, circled by molten rock, runes glowing like fire about
it. The strange words roared as the rolling of waves against stone, echoing in the Realm of
Dreams as it did in her parlour, rattling the shelves from which items tumbled. Then the
vision was gone.

A Light in the Darkness by Lisa A. Sniderman Genre: Inspirational Memoir

What can we do when we struggle with an illness that doesn’t go away? An inspirational story of the healing power of music, creativity, following your dreams and finding your true purpose. In 2008, singer-songwriter Lisa Sniderman was living the dream in California. As Aoede, the Muse of Song, her star as a gifted recording artist was rising fast. Lisa’s quirky folk-pop performance style electrified audiences up and down the West Coast, and the albums just kept flowing. But just when her career was rocketing skyward, a health crisis brought all of her dreams crashing to the ground. Diagnosed with a rare, debilitating immune disorder called dermatomyositis (DM), Lisa struggled to maintain a normal life with a body in revolt and, eventually, to accept a new normal. Living with a chronic illness challenged Lisa to see DM as a gift in disguise that has opened the door to new dreams, new songs, and new opportunities. Lisa’s story is for you if you seek strength, new inspiration, hope, joy, healing, and if you or someone you love struggle with a chronic illness, disability, or unexpected life events. Her insights and reflections on her journey inspire hope and the courage to keep dreaming and living to the fullest no matter what life hurls at you.

Chapter 6, p.63:
“Of all the ways I put myself out there, sharing my personal struggles is perhaps the most
daunting. At times, especially because I’m almost always home, I feel like I’m hiding from the
world, playing it safe indoors. Maybe that’s why I create light characters, focus on fantasy,
and want to connect with my inner child. As I’ve taken on Aoede the Muse’s identity,
inspiring others, I’m disinclined to share the scary, icky, fearful, sad, negative feelings—the
secret spaces where I’ve stuffed my skeletons. I tell myself I have to put on a smile and be
upbeat, not show weakness or have self-doubt. It’s much easier to tell the world that all is
beautiful than to admit that living with a chronic illness is harder than anything I’ve ever
faced; that some days it’s exhausting to get out of bed, despite my positive attitude and
optimism; that I get tired of thinking and talking about being sick, and just plain being sick;
that the endless therapies, drug cocktails, and unwanted side effects keep me on a roller
coaster; that I resent having precious moments of my life replaced with 156 doctors’
appointments; that I wish I had more stamina for being in the world; that I wonder where
David’s and my relationship would be had I never gotten
sick—if he didn’t have to do all the shopping, cleaning, cooking, and driving, and we had an
equal partnership instead of a caretaker-patient relationship. This is the stuff I used to keep to
myself, choosing instead to share the positive accomplishments, the milestones, and the
fulfillment of dreams I’ve decided others want to hear about.”
