I would like to thank my readers who rushed out to bookstores to read my paranormal book Severed Ties.

Till Death and Beyond - The bond of love can bring two forbidden opposites together.

     Till Death and Beyond opens with a teenage girl named Zoe, inexperienced in witchcraft, in the woods on a Full Moon cast a spell for a love she feels is lost to her.  The teenager new to magic, is careless of her words for her desire.  The spirit of a maiden witch appears.  At first the teenager is afraid of the ghostly figure, and then her curiosity calms her nerves.
 
      The Spirit tells the tale how she and the love of her life were separated by ignorance.  Zoe, the teenage girl experiments with magic to reunite the Spirit with her long lost love.
 

      As a direct result of the long hours I spent reading the history of witchcraft my novella Till Death and Beyond was created.
 
      The main conflict in the short read is the Puritans attempting to keep evil from tarnishing their community and the witches strong belief based on the oneness of self an nature.   Puritans against the witches.  What happened and what it meant.

    Historically the Puritans and witches were two very different groups of people with two very different belief systems.  Puritan America was based on clear roles between men, women, and God.  Witchcraft served as a system of explanations for the ways of nature and a method by which one could gain control over their life. Witches were considered enemies to their God. 
 
     Puritans linked witchcraft with the devil and hell because their first responsibility was to serve one God.  The Biblical regulative principle of worship and commandments was the puritan blueprint toward that duty.  Witchcraft became a crime against the church to rid those who did not dedicate themselves to their faith.  They became known as immoral and wicked people even though their faith exsisted long before the Purtian's belief system did.
 
    I had a very specific idea in mind when I wrote Till Death and Beyond a love story between Emery a Puritan and Frye a witch and the petty rivalry connecting the two faith driven neighbors.  The main conflict between the Puritans and the witches' belief systems is the the theme of the romantic story.  I wanted to tell the important elements that are in the traditions and of the similarities and difference among them.  I hope to say to the reader the story isn't strictly romantic; it will have some history.

Sometimes in life you've no other choice but to come to terms with an unwanted separation from a person, situation or place. This leaves you feeling rather sad, even desolate, but it's sometimes necessary to make a clean break in order to build yourself up again on new ground. Sometimes, knowing when to leave is like knowing when to love.  

No matter how deep the pain the truth of the situation if you allow it will set you free. Acceptance will free the mind, heart, body and soul.   It is what it is.

There are certain people who will abandon or cut ties that to them bring no benefit.  Love does not even play in their game of life.  

We are given three partners that will greatly impact our lives. One will teach  Hope...Another will teach Charity... The best one will teach you Faith.  They will be the person who you can believe in.  The one who will love you for you.  

There is so much at stake in any relationship, but also so much real hope and comfort. Take your dearest one out somewhere special and show them just how much you care. Make them feel like they are number one in your life. Perhaps in turn they will treat you accordingly. Heal any past problems by taking the time to talk and to listen  

Regardless of whether you are looking for a new romance right now or not, you'll have lots of fun meeting new people and flirting up a storm. People will be flirting right back, too -- and if you want more, you should encourage it. But if you don't, don't send mixed signals. You could be biting on more than you can chew. Nip things in the bud, be gentle and kind -- but say what you really mean and tell them what you really want.

There is no such thing as a waste of time when you use the experience wisely. Remember that you can learn from any situation, and there is a lesson in everything.
