Widow’s Blood

ISBN: 978-0-9842266-9-6

When a Passamaquoddy warrior’s wife is dropped in the Passamaquoddy Bay alive but plagued with small pox by the Frenchmen’s occupation of their lands, the Passamaquoddy Bay soon becomes referred to by fishermen who fish the rich waters as the Bay of the dead. Two Feathers seeks refuge and revenge through the tribes Medicine Man, Glooscap. Glooscap will forever change Two Feathers into Malsum; a dark wolf who feeds on the blood of humans. Malsum seeks to find the one woman who carries the blood of the Passamaquoddy strong in her veins so he can resurrect his lost wife who lays at the bottom of the haunted bay.

Catherine; the widow of a greedy Englishman in the Puritan settlement called Pleasant Point on the coastline of Maine, loses her husband because he didn’t heed the warnings not to leave the Bay of the Dead before the fog sets in. Unmoved by his death she spends her days in the beautiful home he built for her on the craggy rugged peak that lets her watch over the place that stole her husband with a sense of satisfaction. Catherine being part Passamaquoddy and part Irish can feel the blood of her ancestors boiling through her veins and on some nights when the wind is just right she can hear the cries of her ancestors who were buried at the bottom of the sea so many decades ago.

Patrick, an Irish fisherman meets Catherine at the market when she haggles with him over the cost of his fish. Her piercing green eyes draw him in and Patrick becomes smitten with her immediately; only Catherine wants no parts of his wooing and tries diligently to ward off his advances. Patrick changes his fishing habits to the point where he can call on her until he manages a way to live with her in the loft of her barn while he’s in port. Once there; Patrick finds out Catherine has some deep dark secrets she isn’t willing to share, but Patrick watching her fading into the darkness can’t stop himself from getting to the truth before the town’s women who already see her as a harlot, could wrongly begin to accuse her of being a witch.

Franz Kafka, in his Letter to Oskar Pollak, said, “I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us…We need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.” Crows on the Cross has been deemed such a book.

Drew and Rainey, two rebels with a cause wake up a thousand miles apart disturbed by a past that won’t rest. Both abused as children by more than just predators of the skin, their very faith in the person who should save them is shot to hell. Now the two of them are speeding toward each other down hell’s highway in Rainey’s mysterious ’69 Caddie, Baby who seemingly awakens the ghosts of their past. Revelations, unfold as the miles click down steering each of them toward the other but not without paying heed to the monsters who destroyed both their lives.

A warm melody beckons our soul s release and our words filter through time and eternity, echoing our heart s desire.

Timeless Souls – The Poetry of Rainey Moon aka Kristy Tallman

Timeless Souls is a book of breathtaking, captivating poetry sure to touch the spirits of all who read. It includes subjects such as love, death, dying, fear, angels and friendship while touching on aspects both light and dark in nature. Though at times dark in mood, Moon has gathered her words from everyday life experiences. She explores topics many would dare to trespass upon so freely and vividly such as suicide, drug addiction, abuse and psychosis. While exploring both the good and evil sides of life, Timeless Souls holds no bars on expression, emotion and artistry. The poems captivate and entrap you in a world of imagination as well as driving you to face the realities of life. The form and beauty of each poem doesn’t leave the reader with an array of question marks afloat instead each is encouraged and able to relate and find understanding in some fashion. The book appeals to all readers as there is a delicate mix of subject matter to give the book character and grit. The poetry not only appeals to the happiness and sunshine enthusiasts but to those who crave a darker element in their reading as well. Timeless Souls is a great collection to share as inspiration or to aid others in the more trying times of their lives.
