Book Description
I am not a poet in the traditional sense. I rarely have a rhyme, I don't care about stanzas or acceptable academic style. I am telling stories in short form, in thought patterns that stop. and start. Periods and commas fall where they will, and I let them. I have found it the best way to write about my subject matter without losing my own mind or the reader's. My poems will give but brief glimpses into detailed, often harsh subject matters, such as severe child abuse by adoptive parents, the lost, the unfortunate, the homeless. Others tell about the joyful reunion with biological family, or a crooked Christmas tree, or people I have known, places I have been, and those who have inspired me.

Book Description
Shamanism is the oldest living path of spirituality and healing, dating back tens of thousands of years, yet many people don't know what it is or are confused about the practice. In The Hollow Bone, shaman, teacher, and author Colleen Deatsman unveils the mysterious world of Shamanism as it is still practiced today all around the world. Deatsman explains that shamanism is not a religion with a doctrine, dogma, or holy book. Rather, it is a spirituality rooted in the idea that all matter has consciousness and that accessing the spirit in all things is part of what keeps the world in balance and individuals healed and whole. The Hollow Bone examines shamanism's history, its core beliefs, and how it is practiced all around the world. It includes a glossary of terms, resources for finding and working with shamanic teachers, and over two dozen rare photographs and illustrations showing the magnificent range of shamanic tools, rituals, practitioners, and traditions. This comprehensive introduction answers many frequently asked questions such as:What is shamanism? Where is it practiced? What are the beliefs and understandings inherent to shamanism?Who are the shamans?What do shamans do?Can anyone train to be a shaman?Where can I learn more?

Book Description
An onstage murder in a small English village draws the beloved detective into “a theatrical whodunit worthy of a deep bow” (The New York Times). Actors do love their dramas, and the members of the Causton Amateur Dramatic Society are no exception. However, even the most theatrically minded have to admit that murdering the leading man in full view of the audience is a bit over the top. Luckily, Inspector Barnaby is in that audience, and while he may lack certain skills as a theater critic, he’s just the man to catch a killer. In this second Barnaby mystery, the inspector is in his element, and so is author Caroline Graham, a former actress, who tweaks her collection of community-theater artistes and small-town drama queens with merciless delight. Death of a Hollow Man was the basis for the second episode in season one of the acclaimed ITV crime drama Midsomer Murders.
