A magical tale of amazing sacrifice…

When a violent windstorm strikes an enchanted rain forest
many of the woodland creatures of Willaby Creek are stranded, injured, or lost
forever to the frenzied force of the tempest. Basil, a black bear full of doubt
and fear, becomes the unlikely leader to head the woodland creatures’ rescue.
He is joined by Daphne, a spunky blue dryad; Oliver, a wise horned owl; Elbert,
a noble elk; and a host of other creatures that inhabit the enchanted rain
forest.

Dangerous twists and turns in this animal adventure fantasy
cause Basil to discover a courage, and a conviction, he never knew he had. The
answers to the ancient mysteries in this magical tale emerge in an
extraordinary finale under the tall timbers of the hidden hinterland.

This book is available at Amazon (paperback), Amazon (Kindle and Nook. You can add this book on your Goodreads shelf here

A Note from the Author:

For seven years my husband and I owned a cabin on the
shore of Lake Quinault, near Willaby Creek. We spent many weekends enjoying the
beauty and tranquility of the Olympic National Forest. While there, we saw:
Black bears, Roosevelt elk, eagles, herons, river otter, raccoons, one bobcat,
and a host of other little critters.
In December 2006 the Hannukkah Eve Windstorm hit the Pacific Northwest causing severe damage
to parts of the Olympic National Forest. One afternoon following the windstorm
I wondered: What happened to all the animals? After that, a seed of the story
that was to become ‘The Tale of Willaby Creek’ tumbled into my mind.
As writers, we are told to write what we know; the
setting for ‘The Tale of Willaby Creek’ is
definitely a familiar place to me!
