This is a boxed set of the entire PORTAL TO THE LAND OF FAE series. It contains all four of Judy Mastrangelo’s books, which ware titled: MYSTICAL FAIRIES, FLOWER FAIRIES, SECRETS OF THE FAIRIES, and FAIRYTALE FAIRIES. They contain descriptions of the fantastic Beings inhabiting this World, who have inspired and uplifted mankind throughout the ages. Her lovely vivid, and detailed paintings within these four volumes, depict the Beautiful Fairy Realm.

Werner Stejskal

Amazing illustrations

Do you love fairies? Then you are in the right place. You will never have seen as many creatures of the land of Fae as in this series. The illustrations are, of course, outstanding. Use a tablet for enjoying these pictures where you can enlarge with two fingers. You will want to zoom into all the little details. Only in that way, you will fully appreciate the quality of work, painstakingly created during many hours no doubt. I have written and produced a picture book series, so I know what is involved. The art in this series of books is a work of love. Nobody could pay for that kind of quality. The price would simply prohibitive. So, here you have the chance to enjoy outstanding work by Judy Mastrangelo. Please enjoy, just like I did. And spend time with each picture!!

IF YOU FIND A DIME…IT’S A SIGN

A DIME IS A SIGN BY

SHERRILL S. CANNON

DIME IS A SIGN SSC

A Dime is a Sign Through Time

If you find a dime,
You will know that I’m
Sending thoughts of love
Through the veil of time.

Ten cents with a silver shine,
A sense sent you to help remind
That someone who left you behind
Is always living in your mind.

Sending love and vibes,
Felt as psychic sighs …
The ones that you miss,
Send you a kiss …

Sherrill S. Cannon’s second book of poetry contains messages written through the years in poetic form that put feelings into words. As a teacher, many of her poems helped counsel troubled teens and friends.

There are three sections in the book: Heads, Spinning, and Tails … (Love & Loss: Coin Toss?). The variety of lyrical poetry forms include free verse, blank verse, haiku, and sonnets, while some are just playing with words!

Hopefully, this is also a book of healing.

A MUST READ: STORIES AND EMOTIONS FLOW THROUGH EACH VERSE.

February 19, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
In years past, poetry was written and enjoyed by many, today there is the idea, including among some professors, (who I have heard say, they don’t understand poetry.) That insinuates that a good or great poem is something that is indecipherable to most.
I am not one of them, as with great poets, such as Maya Angelou, Robert Stevenson, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, there is a story in the poems, a sense of place and emotion flowing through the verses. ‘A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS,’ by Sherrill S. Cannon is one such book.
It is rich in emotion, stories flow through the verses, and tales of love and loss are ripe within its pages. It is a glorious book that should be savored from start to finish and this reader feels that one would have to be devoid of life experience not to find many in this book that do not strike a cord deep inside of them.
Ms. Cannon’s poetry takes on the issues of grief, dying, being the object of idolatry, as, in her poem Pedestal, love, loss, and letting go. A magnificent journey through life.
A few of those that struck a deep chord in me was ‘Pedestals,’ That tells us the tale of someone who is stuck upon a pedestal and cannot become truly human for fear of losing their love. ‘The Real Me,’ that speaks of the little part of oneself that is seldom if ever shown to anyone. ‘To See The Future,’ shows us all that we might lose if we could see the future. For we would no longer be living in the present, the joy, sorrow, love, grief, beauty, and glory of life would be forever shaded with the knowledge of what’s to come. ‘Does Memory Last,’ a question each of us may ponder, when we lose a loved one or are facing death. ‘Old Woman,’ is a poignant look at the young woman that exists in all, under the veil of wrinkles and aging.
There were so many poems in this book that touched cords deeply within me, as to bring smiles to my lips, joy to my heart, thoughtfulness to my mind and grief inside of me.
A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS is an astoundingly, wonderous trip through the thoughts, life, and emotions we all go through in life.
In the pages of this book, everyone will find something that will help them grow or understand themselves better. I highly recommend it.

In the depths of my winter
I heard a small bird—
Braving the cold,
Bringing the word.
He gave my heart hope
As I heard him sing—

Three little notes Promising spring.

A psychic medium once said that if you find a random dime, it is a sign that someone that you have loved and lost is thinking of you. A DIME IS A SIGN –SHERRILL S. CANNON

Sherrill S. Cannon, a former teacher and grandmother of ten, is the author of nine acclaimed rhymed children’s books, plus a recent award-winning book of poetry (A Penny for Your Thoughts), which together have received 63 national and international book awards since 2011. She also wrote seven published plays for elementary school children that have been performed in over 25 countries. Most of her children’s books emphasize consideration for others. Married for 58 years, she and her spouse are now retired, live in Pennsylvania, and travel in their RV from coast to coast, spending time with their children and grandchildren, and sharing her books along the way!

downloadEnvelop yourself in the tenderly flowing words of romantic poetry in the unforgettably lyrical collection, A Dime Is A Sign: Poems of Love & Loss (Feelings Into Words) by Sherrill S. Cannon. Life is full of love and loss, but at times we experience our feelings and emotions so intensely, we can’t put them into words. Allow the soft fluidity of the gentle poetry to caress your soul and bring comfort to your mind as you read through the sublime sonnets, poems, haiku, blank verse, and free-flowing verses. Each poem is meant to help convey a moment of deep emotion, and speak straight to the soul to help you better process each unique stage of love you experience. The delicately soothing words invite you to float lightly among the author’s words and get lost in love.  
A Dime Is A Sign: Poems of Love & Loss (Feelings Into Words) by Sherrill S. Cannon is a breathtaking book of romantic poetry. As a school teacher, wife of fifty-eight years, mother, and grandmother, Cannon has lived her words, writing them down throughout the years to help counsel teens and friends through love and heartache. Love and romance are beautiful, but loss can be tragically painful. We often ask ourselves, “Is it worth the pain to love?” The poems in this collection have answered with a resounding, “yes.” The words moved me. Every word of every line held beauty and meaning. The poetry is based on the different stages of love — from young, new love, to older forbidden love — and the verses in this book were written to speak to both young teens and older adults. 5 Stars – Reviewed By Alyssa Elmore for Readers’ Favorite

“This lovely collection of poetry is a wonderful addition to Ms. Bishop’s poetic imagery.” – A Poet’s Journey (Sunlight and Shadows) by Marta Moran Bishop  

Marta sunshine and shadows with review.jpg

Line Blurb
Marta Moran Bishop continues her journey in Sunlight and Shadows. This book of poetry, unlike A Poet’s Journey: Emotions, is a more thought-provoking book. In its pages, she covers everything from God, to life after death, war, and the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. Still, she is able to bring to life the beauty and grandeur of her surroundings and make us laugh, cry, think, and feel.
Sunlight and Shadows will once again, take you on an emotional journey through life.
I believe it is how we deal with despair, tragedy, and joy that define us as human beings.

A Poet’s Journey: Sunlight and Shadows – A Tribute

This lovely collection of poetry is a wonderful addition to Ms. Bishop’s poetic imagery. Starting with Abused, an abrupt awakening to the plight of many women, through Lost Ones, an aching tribute to the Newtown Angels, and continuing through Civility she takes us on an emotional journey through life, ”…what could be said in one sentence is stated in a million words” concluding with “Honesty is good and helps, But not without courtesy.” From the great sense of loss in Shadows through the beauty and hope in Sunlight and Shadows, and the tribute in Honor to those who served and still serve, this is a lovely collection of poetry by a talented author.
