Welcome to the vast land of Havenbell. Many creatures live about the islands, the fairies, humans, elves, the Adrella of the sea, the winged Josapharians, ogres, centaurs, the warriors of Drake, and the two clans of wizards, the Dark Ones and the Wizards of the Council. The great Eye of the Temple is in the clutches of the Dark Ones and their army and power continues to grow. Trillium the elf was raised alone on a deserted island with only an enchanted owl as a companion. He trained her in archery at an early age but rarely spoke to her about the others lands in Havenbell. She must conquer the Maze of Mayleen to complete her training before she can reach the outlands and find her destiny. Trillium must help to find the Shell of Hope and return it to the fairies before the Dark Ones can gain any more power. She must join up with the wizards to stop the dark shadow from spreading, as well as conquer the magical fire dragon, Tremadok.

Dan Gallagher is an obsessively religious recovering alcoholic who is also a struggling artist. "Allison Jolley" follows his musings, doubts, friendships, misadventures and epiphanies -- in prose, poems, letters, dialogues, and art -- as he mourns two failed relationships, and slowly falls in love with Allison, a close friend, realizing along the way that love is not what he expected. Dan struggles to connect with his own better self, and with his kindred spirit Allison, whose light-hearted, playful nature ultimately changes his perspectives of what friendship, belief, and love can be.
"Allison Grayhurst's poetry combines the depth and dark intensity of Sylvia Plath, the layered complex imagery of Dylan Thomas and the philosophical insights of Soren Kierkegaard, taking the reader on a fearless journey through the human condition, delving with honesty into death, grief, loss, faith, commitment, motherhood, and erotic love. Grayhurst intertwines a potent spirituality throughout her work so that each poem is not simply a statement or observation, but a revelation that demands the reader's personal involvement. Grayhurst's poetic genius is profound and evident. Her voice is uniquely authentic, undeniable in its dignified vulnerability as it is in its significance," Kyp Harness, singer/songwriter, author."Allison Grayhurst is the Queen of Catharsis.

Many of Allison Grayhurst's poems are simply masterpieces booming with thunderous insight begging to be in Bartlett's Quotations, lines such as "I drink necessity's authority." Nothing is wishy-washy in the realm of Allison Grayhurst. Allison Grayhurst's work is sustaining, enriching, and deepening for the soul to read... a light of sanity in the world. As a poet, Allison Grayhurst is a lighthouse of intelligent honour... indeed, intelligence rips through her work like white water, ?
