Changing Planes is a contemporary new age tale where you journey with Madison Reeves, a business executive, on a spiritual journey of the heart.  Madison, who avoids intimacy as if it were a disease, won’t admit to herself that it is her own heart that truly terrifies her: for buried there are painful secrets.

Escaping on a Bahamas vacation, Madison discovers that there is another force at work in her life, as odd things happen before she leaves the ground.  After landing in a terminal hung suspended between this world and the next, she is greeted by her long dead grandfather as she disembarks from the plane. It is here in this place between life and death that she must look within her own heart to unveil its secrets if she is to live free and face loved ones from a familiar past and an unfamiliar future.

Will she choose what her heart deeply knows is best?  Or will she turn and run again? Book your journey between worlds today and enjoy a near-cinematic passage that brings you face-to-face with a story your heart reads.

Changing Planes

In this metaphysical fiction, a novella, you’ll find Madison Reeves, VP of a high-end retail department store, headed for the Bahamas on a much-needed vacation. After passing through a cascade of lights similar to the Aurora Borealis while flying in a southern sky, everything quickly changes for Madison and she discovers that not all is as it seems. She gets waylaid and takes a journey few people experience. After landing at an airport terminal, Madison enters a place outside of time and space where worlds collide and all the rules have changed. Where is she? Heaven, hell, or somewhere in-between? No-one will tell her and she is soon faced with making a choice that could change everything that has gone before.

I will keep this brief. Today, my metaphysical fiction, Changing Planes, a paperback soon to be available from Amazon, is live. Everybody who has read this book, men and women alike, has enjoyed it thoroughly. Unbelievably, the men have cried and the women get goosebumps. Here’s what Lynn Macintosh said (she was one of my readers and a friend from the Boundless Living Challenge).

“Changing Planes had me up into the wee hours last night. (Great company to combat my husband’s endless snoring!) I don’t know how my giant protruding goosebumps didn’t push him out of bed.   Oooh, getting them again just thinking about it. Honey I think you just penned the next Celestine Prophecy! Been a while since I wept for joy but I was doing just that when I put the last page down.”

I am serious when I say I know this book will be huge. Get your copy now before everyone else!  It’s a great fiction and it teaches you spiritual things without seemingly doing so.
