At thirteen, all Kiya wants to do is ride her flying horse and stay away from the arrogant Tor. One fateful day, the crazy, old woman changes everything. Suddenly Kiya is stripped of her vision, her name, her home, and her flying horse. To top it off, the old woman demands she find the lost scroll and the princess of Tamose. Through Kiya's emerging faith, she must learn to survive serf life and see the vision of who she really is.
Can you see it?

The Crazy Old Woman

"Whatever you did to me, undo it," I said.

"I don't know if you can hear enough," the crazy old woman said.

"I can. I can."

"Tell me what you've heard since yesterday."

"Neema, my younger sister, bossing me around," I said.

"Is that all?"

"Um..."

"You're still deaf," the old woman said.

"Wait. I heard a tune, in a dream, from a family in Tamose. They were invaded by Sanath. But it was only a dream."

"Are you sure it was only a dream?"

"I don't know. I..."

The old woman touched my forehead again. I jerked my body back. "Don't do anything to me again--just restore my vision."

"I don't know if you're ready. It'll be a different world for you when you see again."

"I am ready," I said.

Tune in the Breeze

Have you ever listened to what the tune in the breeze is saying to you? I hear the breeze outside whistle to me as it sweeps over the earth. It seems to say: dream, fly, frolic, and love. That is the same tune my main character Kiya hears. It gives her joy and gives her life! In the next while, I'll be pasting some of my favorite, or exciting scenes, from my book. Check them out!!

Morning Light

Last night was one of those dark nights when tears filled my pillow. I went to bed feeling sick and discouraged. I found myself asking, "Heavenly Father, where are you?" I've always known He's been there, but sometimes life gets too dark to see His light. I was surprised this morning. I was half way inbetween sleep and awake. The words just came. ALl of a sudden I had the first page of my book. I've been trying to figure out how to write it for a long time. It was like the morning light dispelled the dark night and my discouragement. Heavenly Father didn't take away my problems. I'm still sick, my husband is still looking for a job, but He took away the darkness. He helped inspire me, reminding me that He is there, and has always been there. This morning I can see Him. His love is in the light.

Check out my first page, feel free to comment on it. -Day

The Dreamer Series: Vision

After taking an online class, rewriting, having it edited, I am once again rewriting. I've lost count of how many times I've done this. My motto is patience and determination. I will finish, and I will publish this book that I've now worked on for two years.
