Where the Heart Leads
Published October 2025
The next chapter of Thom’s journey begins! Where the Heart Leads, the second book in my Journeys of a Spirit Healer series, launched today and holds a special place in my heart. It’s now available on Amazon.
Let me tell you a bit about Thom’s next adventure:
Thom Macirdan’s years at the Acadium are anything but ordinary. What began with the discovery that dragons are real—and with Thom named guardian of a hatchling—rapidly spirals into a gauntlet of trials. How does a boy still finding his way care for a creature no one believes exists? How can he manage new and unpredictable spirit-healing abilities, fend off threats from an old enemy, and respond when crises demand his help?
Even as dangers mount, Thom faces another challenge: adolescence. The elders of his childhood faith taught him that attraction to someone of the same gender was disordered. Yet Thom feels a bond stirring—a love that brings strength, but leaves him torn between his heart and beliefs that no longer fit.
Join Thom as he navigates a path of dragons, healing, danger, and self-discovery, a journey where courage and love matter as much as any gift.
