Clare Stewart is no ordinary thirteen-year-old. Since an early age,
she has been trained in the psychic arts by her spirit guide, who
is also her deceased Aunt Miriam. Clare has a burning desire to
become a writer, and during the Christmas school holidays of her
thirteenth summer, she writes about her daily experiences and
childhood memories. Over a six-week period, Miriam helps Clare to
discover her past by dream travelling fifty thousand years back in
time to the lost continent of Atlantis. Miriam is also preparing
Clare for her future, when Clare will take her place in the world
as a gifted psychic, and a spiritual advisor who will assist those
in need of her supernormal abilities. Clare narrates her day-to-day
life down under, and relates many humorous and anecdotal tales
about colourful local characters and historical events. In
addition, Clare learns about intuition, other dimensions,
telepathy, and the meaning of dreams. For those interested in
discovering more about the adventures of this teenage clairvoyant
from the land down under, this book is one of the few resources
available for younger readers which seriously considers the deeper
aspects of the human psyche, as well as introducing the adult world
of paranormal research in the format of a juvenile fiction.

We Southern guys love the ladies and we love to eat and to watch
the world go by. Sometimes we love the Southern climate, sometimes
that climate scares hell out of us. And there's the flora and fauna
of the South, so no, we can't forget the blooms and critters and
there are a few of 'em scattered in the poems in this little book
In all 34 poems reflect what I, and I believe other Southerners,
love and are good for us fill these few pages. The poems are my
stuff, written by a guy and sometimes a naughty word creeps in. All
of the poems have a Southern flavor. I'm truly hoping not only the
guys but the ladies will like my stuff. The ladies may skip the
naughty words. Or, they may enjoy them. Some of these poems were
previously published and a few were also reprinted in Quiction
where I was a weekly contributor. Poem titles and the publications
where my work were originally found are as follows. Hummingbird,
Cardinal, Snowy Egret, Circles and Cycles, A Benign Blue Sky,
Lowcountry Threads, Fishin' In The Gulf Stream, and Southern Boy
were first published in Dead Mule School of Southern Literature.
Outside My Door, Another Skin and A Seafood Boil were in Southern
Hum. Separation and Reunion and Stuff Makes Me Cold, Me and Myself
Again, and A Frogmore Stew were in Gator Springs Gazette. Bogalusa
Blues, On the Corner of Religion and Jazz, Wanderlust, and Cajun
Solution were first published inQuiction. Vile Beauties was in
Cellar Door. Louisiana first appeared in Flush Fiction Magazine.
The remaining poems are published here for the first time."
