Enter the Between

Silicon Valley resident Marjorie Veil has been conditioned to ignore her own truth, to give away her power, to subjugate in relationships with others, and to settle for the path of least resistance. But she has many surprises in store, for there are synchronistic forces at work in her life that, if she listens, will lead her to her authentic heart and happiness. The seemingly impossible happens in the wild of the Los Padres National Forest where Marjorie goes on retreat to make sense of her life when she thinks she is going insane. The innocence of the Native American orphan Marjorie befriends, as well as more mystery and adventure than she bargained for, show her how love can heal in what turns out to be a transformative spiritual quest. BETWEEN WILL AND SURRENDER, book one of the "Enter the Between" Visionary Fiction series, 2016 Northern California Publishers and Authors Awards first place winner for fiction, and California Author Project 2019 Adult Fiction Winner, takes the reader on a visionary journey into the wilds of the Los Padres National Forest, home of the Esselen, one of the smallest Native American populations in California nearly exterminated as a result of the Spanish Missions. Like the fires that blaze through the Los Padres National Forest, the mysterious voice in Marjorie's head burns the frameworks that imprison her, transforming them into blackened snags, a perfect habitat for the seeds of awareness buried deep inside her to burst into life.

Marjorie Veil is running again. But this time, she's not running from herself. She's running to embrace her past, so she may move on with her future. A future that includes a man and an orphaned boy who both love her. But in order to build a life with them, she must have the strength to defy the expectations of her over-protective adoptive mother, and she must be steadfast in deciphering the veiled messages coming from the Native American woman who died giving her birth. Marjorie's quest is the story of the soul trying to break free of its conditioned restraints to live a life of freedom, courage, and authenticity, and focus on what is really important in her precious present moments. The award-winning author of the Enter the Between series, has conjured up a tale of transformational healing, arising from ten years of research in contemporary paganism, holistic theory, quantum mechanics, and transpersonal psychology, that takes readers deep into the depths of consciousness to the unified field underlying physical existence, where separateness is an illusion. BETWEEN DARKNESS AND DAWN, visionary fiction that heals, empowers, and bridges differences, is for anyone interested in seeing the world in a new light and recognizing dimensions of reality they commonly ignore.

When Marjorie Veil takes refuge at a friend's Victorian mansion in Pacific Grove, otherwise known as Butterfly Town USA, she seeks answers to two burning questions: Why had her biological father abandoned her at birth? And, why is her mother sending messages from beyond the grave, shedding light on agonizing secrets she took with her when she died? Despite plans to enjoy Pacific Grove's quaint bookstores, ocean views, and butterfly sanctuary, Marjorie's stay is anything but replenishing. She senses something disturbing beneath the mansion's outward calm. Soon she begins seeing and hearing things that cause her to question her sanity, and she unearths a backyard labyrinth that reveals its own powerful secrets. Between Yesterday and Tomorrow follows the adventure of a woman who refuses to sacrifice herself and her special abilities to an existence that no longer speaks to her soul, a woman empowered to unburden herself of the expectations of two mothers-one living and one dead-that distort the lens through, which she views the world. A psychological-supernatural tale, book three of the "Enter the Between" visionary fiction series is the story of an ordinary woman in extraordinary situations which she resolves in remarkable ways. The award-winning author Margaret Duarte invites the reader to enter a fifth dimension between shadow and substance, between yesterday and tomorrow, to the unified field underlying physical existence where separateness is an illusion.

Medicate or nurture; reform or set free. These are quandaries rookie teacher Marjorie Veil faces when she takes on an after-school class of thirteen-year-olds labeled as troublemakers, unteachable, and hopeless. Faculty skeptics warn that all these kids need is prescribed medication for focus and impulse control. But as Marjorie soon discovers, behind their anti-conformist exteriors are gifted teens, who are sensitive, empathetic, and wise beyond their youth. They also happen to have psychic abilities, which they have kept hidden until now. Can Marjorie help them do what she has failed to do for herself: fight for their spiritual and emotional freedom? Laced with a symbolic dose of physics and the mystical, Between Now and Forever, is a result of the author's twenty-year fascination with the remarkable parallels between science and spirituality.
