"I see a dam. It is golden and glistening, like a great solid gate in a canyon.It holds back the floodwaters.It converts them into power.This is my prayer: Lord, cause the flood of the enemy to cease.

The power of love, of gospel, of the Spirit of God."This short book is my offering to my brothers and sisters in Christ in a time of unusual crisis--a reminder of who we are and what truly matters, based on the themes of 1 Peter.--Rachel Starr Thomson

Whimsical, hilarious fantasy about magic, true love, and other wildly improbably things. When Celine meets Tomas, they are in a cavern on the moon where she has been languishing for thirty days after being banished by her evil uncle for throwing a scrub brush at his head. Tomas is a charming and eccentric Immortal, hanging out on the moon because he's procrastinating his destiny--meeting, and defeating, Celine's uncle. A pair of magic rings send them back to earth, where Celine insists on returning home and is promptly thrown into the dungeon. Her uncle, Ignus Umbria, is up to no good, and his latest caper threatens to devour the whole countryside. He doesn't want Celine getting in the way. More than that, he wants to force Tomas into a confrontation--and Tomas, who has fallen in love with Celine, cannot procrastinate any longer. LADY MOON is a madcap, romantic adventure brimming with humor, in a world populated by mad magicians, walking rosebushes, thieving scullery maids, and other improbable things. And of course, the most improbable--and magical--thing of all: true love.
