    READ LABELS!!!

 WOW - a life-changing book on God's plan for nourishing and growing our bodies. Hope to be published by end of June 2025. I usually eat pretty healthy, but last year, the first seven months of the year I was sick 54 times. (Yes, I keep a journal). I had pneumonia twice, Covid once and a smattering of sinus infections and sore throats. I decided on August 4, 2024 that changes had to be made. So, I made a drastic turn-a-round in my diet. I began with NO WHITE SUGAR (following my own advice in "Favorite Flu Fighters"), NO WHITE FLOUR, and NO PROCESSED OR PACKAGED FOOD. 

WOW, you wouldn't think that would impact daily eating much...was I ever wrong. It's a HUGE difference in what you eat, how you shop and, most important, HOW YOU FEEL. After much gnashing of teeth (figuratively), lamenting (mentally) and pity parties, I stuck to the no sugar/flour/processed food resolve. In addition, I kept to my plan to eat fermented foods every meal, and other good dietary habits.

At the end of six months, I was sick SEVEN DAYS!  So, 

     not on the diet:   7 months/54 sick days and  

     on the diet:        6 months/7 sick days. 

I don't know about you, but to me those stats are telling!!

So, WOW is all about eating and living a healthy way of life. All the how-to's and the don't-do's will be in this book. Scheduled to be released end of June 2025.

ALSO IN THE WORKS:

When I read, I read a fiction and a non-fiction simultaneously.  Well, I don't mean exactly at the same time!! But, during the same period. So, that's the way I write, too. While working on WOW, I am also working on DOMUS, book 2.  The sequel of this fantasy series is more than a figment of my imagination...it  actually has words on the page!! Lichen and Isabella continue to battle evil while navigating their love for each other and Domus. Look for it Spring 2026.

As I get older, I tend to offer fewer herb classes and write more books!

 

 DOMUS    The Tempus Crystal

 

 It's been a long time coming, but DOMUS is here.  I've changed up the name and the cover!!!!  

I'm very excited!!! As author Heather Hart sees it, "...writing and publishing a book is like giving birth to a child..."

I have three children, this will be my third book, so I have a pretty good comparison. Wild anticipation, giddy expectation, boundless eagerness, undaunting courage, fearless faith, see-sawing courage, unrelenting is-it-over-yet pain, pressing on when the end is not in sight, and finally boundless joy.

Now, I know a book is not really comparable to a child. I mean, my children are the sun and the moon. But, crafting, and loving a book to its completion is a prize beyond imagining. The satisfaction, the happiness, and the utter bliss upon seeing your "baby" in print is unfathomable.  

DOMUS is a CLEAN FANTASY and SWEET action-packed romance that delivers a message of faith and eternal love. It explores the  depth  of  human nature as Lichen wrestles with his natural self. Shall he exact revenge or rise to a higher calling? Lichen’s love for Isabella is intertwined with the very survival of Domus as he goes from jet pilot to slayer of evil, from the charming historical town of Weston, Missouri to a foreign land where beautiful faeries blindside you, evil masquerades as good, dragons become your best friend and an unknown grandfather heals your heart. Lichen is whisked into an otherworldly domain with a different set of rules where you don’t need a jet to fly and magic is more than an orphan boy on the movie screen. He experiences a realm of love, pure and eternal; a reign of terror, wicked and foul; and a discovery of self, profound and far-reaching.

Domus is available at Elizabeth's farm and on AMAZON

Favorite Flu Fighters is here!!!  Available at AMAZON

 (From newspaper coverage)    Local Author Shines New Light On Folk Medicine

 Elizabeth has shared the wonders of the herbal world for twenty years with innovative classes taught at her farm in Ray County Missouri.

Now, just in time for cold and flu season, she has condensed that knowledge into a perky how-to book that paves the way for you to bring grandma’s remedies into your life.

In “Favorite Flu Fighters” Elizabeth shares alternative ideas for combating colds and flu and how you can seamlessly prepare and use herbs in your home. “Some of these remedies have been hiding in plain sight in the traditions handed down for generations,” Elizabeth says. “I want to help you put these amazing solutions in your home and in your life.”

“Favorite Flu Fighters” catalogs numerous herbs and how they act in your body and details various ways to prepare them.  “The question I am most often asked”, Elizabeth says,  “is ‘OK, I know herbs are good for me, but how do I use them?’ My reply is simple, if you can boil water, you can make remedies. The many methods I listed in the book for making and using folk remedies are simple, direct, and user-friendly.”

In addition to herbal preparations, “Favorite Flu Fighters” includes other proactive solutions to fighting a cold or flu bug. Elizabeth expounds on Grandma’s proverbial chicken soup by itemizing what should go into the pot and why. Fire Cider, a concoction made from pantry staples is front and center in the flu prevention arsenal.  Another resource for building great health and fortifying your immune system is cultured food. Elizabeth explains the whys and how-to’s of including fermentation in your daily kitchen protocols.

From dietary recommendations to lifestyle choices “Favorite Flu Fighters” details ways that help keep the flu at bay for you and your family.

Favorite Flu Fighters was originally published in an eBook format--this second edition includes a paperback option.

  “Daddy Trails” chronicles Elizabeth's adventurous journey of growing up in the Cole Camp Ozarks and culminates in discovering the man’s name on her birth certificate is not her father.    

Far removed from a typical childhood, Elizabeth experiences the nightmare of growing up in an alcoholic environment and the extraordinary faith that shaped her foundational years and carried her into adulthood.

“Daddy Trails” shares the pitfalls and heartache of longing and searching for a fairy-tale father. She thought she had him in a step-dad who was a stern taskmaster, provided the necessities of life, and taught her to be tough and self-sufficient. 

Then after years of searching, Elizabeth found her birth-certificate dad who had become a shining knight in the dreams of her youth. Unfortunately, there would be no love forthcoming from this narcissistic psychopathic criminal.  

Finally, a miracle brought the surprise of a lifetime and fulfilled her third secret wish…a bonafide, DNA-certified fairy-tale father. After years of endurance filled with disappointment, violence, abuse, and murder Elizabeth discovers the true power for overcoming burdens—the atoning sacrifice of our Lord. Her story of trial, faith, and forgiveness underscores the truth that you are never alone.
