    Next stop: Hell. Unless . . . 
    He was a driven, heartless businessman, trampling anyone who got in his way, until one night when his grinchy-heart exploded. Now, he’s back on earth with a second chance to avoid his fate. His task? To right three of his wrongs. Fail, and he’s not going to like how his story ends. 
    All her fault . . . 
    Carrie Alexander lives a quiet life in a tiny town in Minnesota, recovering from a broken heart and her guilt. She’d been fool enough to fall in love with her heartless boss, and she’d not only been kicked to the curb, she’d brought down the whole town with her. She’s doing everything she can to make up for the disaster she wrought, and she has no time for the stranger who appears at her door on a wintry Thanksgiving night—no matter how angelically beautiful he is. 
    He’s going to need a miracle . . . 
    Healing the town is a relatively simple matter. Fixing lost souls will be a piece of cake. But how the hell can Gabriel heal the woman he’s fallen in love with, knowing he’s going to abandon her once again?

    "The Descendant" is a story fragment by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft, believed to have been written in 1927. It was first published in the journal Leaves in 1938, after Lovecraft's death.
    Inspiration: Lovecraft may have been referring to this attempt at a story when he wrote that he was "making a very careful study of London...in order to get background for tales involving richer antiquities than America can furnish."

    Book 5 The Fool’s Journey Series 
    Noel Eastwood’s unique blend of rollicking good storytelling and the wisdom of esoterica and the Tarot continues in this, the final book of the Fool's Journey series. Follin and Eve fulfil their mystic's quest but only after they are faced with life-changing experiences that test their resolve and their magical powers. The couple’s seven-year-old twins, Aidan and Fiana, prove to be a handful as they too grow in wisdom and, hopefully, self-control. 
    Each chapter introduces unique insights into the Wands suit inspired by the symbology and imagery of the cards themselves. They set the scene for the many challenging adventures that lead to hard-fought wisdom for both Follin and Eve. With the declining health of their mentors, Mage Hermes The Magician, and High Priestess Hera, they are forced to confront the harsh realities of life in the Tarot Empire to complete their training. But first, they must prove themselves worthy and capable of using the magic of the four Minor Arcana Tarot suits in the most extreme of circumstances. 
    Once again you will meet your favourite characters as they support Follin and his family while also defending the Wands frontiers. Inspired by the esoteric element of Fire, the people of the Wands Kingdom demonstrate how to access and harness fire energy using specific meditation forms. 
    Originally written for Tarot practitioners Noel’s Fool’s Journey Series has found a broader audience in those interested in personal growth. Through Follin, we come to respect, and delight in, The Fool in all of us. 
    This is also available in paperback and audiobook.

    A number of these stories may appear to have been left open ended with no explanation, as had been shared with the author in that manner.
