Happy Pub-Day Below the Moon!
Below the Moon—book two in The 8th Island Trilogy—has been released! Today, October 15, 2019, is PUB-DAY!
Pub-Day = Publication Day
When I think back, soooooo many long hours went into (1) writing, (2) editing, (3) publishing, and (4) promoting this book. I love the feeling of working toward something I really care about. The three main characters – Archie, Tessa, and Ella – mean a lot to me. I feel like they are my family and I am fully invested in the adventure they are on.
Here are some great early reviews of Below the Moon:
“THIS BOOK WILL DELIGHT LOVERS OF NEIL GAIMAN”
— Andrea Jarrell, author of I’m the One Who Got Away: A Memoir
“FAST AND BIZARRE… AN ACTION-PACKED FANTASY SURE TO EXCITE AND ENGAGE”
— Forward Reviews
“A COMPLETELY UNIQUE STORY THAT IS UNLIKE ANYTHING I HAVE EVER READ”
— Reader’s Favorite Review
“A WONDERFULLY ORIGINAL AND RICHLY IMAGINATIVE TALE THAT SHOWS US THAT ANYONE CAN BE A HERO, REGARDLESS OF OUR ABILITIES.”
— Jaci Wells, Author of the forthcoming novel The Lost Priestess
ABOUT BELOW THE MOON
Ella Wellsley is not your typical teenager. Cancer left her mute, but not powerless. Trapped in a parallel dimension, Ella rallies her strength to join her family—her mother, Tessa, her grandpa Archie, and her magical boyfriend—in locating the cure to her illness. This cure is entangled in the fate of all worlds, and threatened by the presence of an evil Star anchored in the sea. The Star has thrown life everywhere into chaos—and it is Ella who holds the key to unlocking its mystery.
Caught in a web of betrayal, mistaken identities, secrets, and love triangles, Ella, Tessa, and Archie must overcome their troubled pasts to ensure a future for all worlds. On this journey—armed with unearthly abilities and unexpected allies—each member of the Wellsley family will learn the power of love in the face of their greatest fears.

Expecting Sunshine: A Journey of Grief, Healing and Pregnancy After Loss, the award-winning documentary, is based on the best-selling memoir by author-artist-filmmaker Alexis Marie Chute. The film brings viewers along on real-life medical appointments, introduces them to other bereaved parents and medical professionals in thought-provoking interviews, right through to the delivery room where she welcomes her “rainbow baby.” By producing this film, Chute seeks to break the taboo around pregnancy loss and pregnancy after loss. The film investigates different perspectives on traumatic birth, how loss affects personal identity and faith, and the ways families change, thrive and cope through grief. Also highlighted is the decision-making process around family planning after loss and the unique stresses of subsequent pregnancies. With poignant narration about grief and the healing journey, the documentary casts fresh light on a private and isolating experience, also offering hope & encouragement.
More information about the documentary can be found on the website, www.ExpectingSunshine.com.
