The Power of the Altar
Not all altars are equal; some surpass others in power. When a priest dedicates an altar to God, it becomes immensely powerful, as King Solomon demonstrated in his time (1 Kings 8:23-53).
The altar holds dominion over the stars. By receiving a star, a person gains a unique spirit that shapes their identity. The altar of Samuel transferred the star of leadership from Saul to David through sacrifice (1 Samuel 16:13). Losing one’s star leaves a person spiritually empty, for it is the spirit that defines who we are.
With clarity and precision, the author explores the significance of prayer, fasting, sacrifice, the star, the spirit, and the meanings of dreams and visions. This book provides valuable insights for spiritual growth.
Intended for all readers, it offers foundational wisdom for beginners while also containing deeper insights for those more spiritually advanced.

How the Pendulum Swings: A Diary of Madness
A collection of memories, the thoughts that keep you awake at night. The sights and sounds that ensnare your senses, dragging you deeper into the madness – whatever you choose to call it, this is Carrie’s story, my story. For years these stories dug their claws into me, their weight heavy on my heart. The pieces and parts unpolished, hiding in journals and notebooks. It is time to finally tell her story.
This story begins by unravelling the past, trying to make sense of events that a once young mind couldn’t fully grasp. The harsh events and moments that formed and moulded the mind of a woman unleashed upon the world. A woman unsure of herself, unsure of the true depths of her resilience and power- this is the story of growth and love, of love and loss. Of being lost and finding oneself in the shadows of reality.
We follow Carrie and her story from the child whose core sense of self was fragmented and inevitably lost, to the woman perpetually on the run, and to every beautiful moment and lesson that life had to offer in between.

Distant Shores – Remembering
Since 2016, when I started writing poetry about my journey with Dementia, I have come to realise that poetry is not only extremely cathartic, but truly like ‘chicken soup for the soul’. Poetry allows us to connect with the world around us and express ourselves in a unique way that can be both soothing and healing.
My journey with Dementia from start to finish, was full of such mixed emotions, tears and laughter, and I soon realised the importance of a sense of humour! Whilst written from a personal perspective, I hope that anyone who has been affected by dementia, whether as a loved one, friend or carer will be able to identify in some way with each poem.
The path for all concerned when a loved one is diagnosed with this devastating disease, is extremely difficult and challenging. In many cases, as I experienced firsthand, losing your loved one, even though the person is still here, can be the hardest part – but please know if you are reading this that you are not alone!

The Cost of Truth
Finding herself under constant surveillance with repeated attempts upon her life, Thea Mar realizes that she has been outfitted with a tracking device that allows the government to pinpoint her location at every second and target her for torture and death. She has been secretly declared to be a domestic terrorist and targeted for criticizing the US government. Thus begins Thea’s trek through six countries to find and remove a microchip that was secretly inserted into her body before it kills her.
This story comes close to the author’s real life and has strong similarities to the experience of the former US Senate staffer who accused President Biden of sexual assault and fled to Russia for asylum in 2023.
The Cost of Truth draws from Packer’s diplomatic and congressional staffer roles, offering a disturbing picture of the roles of the key government agencies in protecting the image of the United States. The novel unveils the contradictions and abuses prevalent today, where the freedom of expression rights, guaranteed by the US Constitution, come into conflict with perceived dissent by the guardian agencies and the ramifications for the canceled.
