Your Heart’s Voice

I began writing my book in 2017 after my second child was born . The idea of writing a children’s book about intuition came to me as I had never seen one before written. I put it down shortly after and picked it back up to continue writing it after my little brother tragically passed away on LI in NY last year at 33 years old. I found writing helped my grieving process . I decided to include him as a character in the book along with dedication to him. My book is about an 11 yr old girl who learns to listen to her heart’s voice ( her intuition) which helps her make good choices. It’s a gentle reminder to people of any age that we all have this gift and to use it wisely in life. It’s also a parenting tool for behavior. I hope it helps others find their heart’s voice.

Moraline

Award: 2023 Reader’s Favorite Golden Medal Winner in Children Grade 4th-6th Genre

“Powerful middle-grade fiction that speaks from the heart and invites readers to share in a better future.”
— Kirkus Reviews

Patina meets Amari and the Night Brothers in a middle-grade debut, the start of a fantastical new series.
Twelve-year-old Moraline Reed is about to run away from her problems—again.

Since moving from New York to California, Moraline pushes against a hot, dry wind whenever trouble happens. Running is the only way she feels in control, so she runs. When Moraline ends up on the wrong end of a cruel prank during a school camping trip, she does the only thing she feels like she can do. She instinctively seeks refuge into the local woods. But this turns into the chance of a lifetime, as Moraline meets a Lakota holy man who tells her that she’s destined to be the girl who runs against the wind. It’s Moraline’s fate to put the winds back into balance by combating injustice wherever she finds it.

A breath of magic leads her to new friends and a mysterious stray fox who support her as she advocates for building peace both close to home and throughout her community. Together, they face some of the biggest issues of their time head-on.

A comprehensive curriculum 3-7 Gr is available.
