The Sequel to Delwyn of the Realms! Portal Stormer is a wild ride - to say the least! Delwyn has returned to Onesol and discovers that she must face her Last Sorrow before she can be properly initiated as a Portal Stormer. After mistaking her mission, she is given a second chance - and travels to Meditar (the realm of meditation) - after having met her fellow Stormers. They are a crazy bunch of characters from other worlds - bizarre and almost too much for Delwyn to handle. She discovers that she is to lead them in the war to end all wars - if she can successfully face her Last Sorrow in the realm of Nidar (the Underworld.) This realm is a place where nightmares hail from - a hellish place more frightening than the fire and brimstone stories she heard about on Aletheia (earth.) Follow Delwyn to Alusol (the realm of hallucinations), Meditar, Nidar and finally - the Akasha - where her initiation reveals a secret that shocks her to her very core! Meet the Urals - the rulers of the Realms; the Guardians of the Seven gates in Nidar; the Shadow of Pegasus - known as Paksir; the Portal Stormers - and many other strange entities! Greg is her anchor, but she must follow her destiny - or all will be lost - even their love! Can Delwyn overcome her childish ways and become the Stormer who will lead her troops into a war that could end in the total annihilation of the realms? Time is running out!

A Portal Fantasy Series - By Kelly Proudfoot "For Delwyn, the only way out is through - and beyond! With a traumatized childhood and broken marriage behind her, Delwyn emerges from a psychotic break and flees to the country - welcomed by her Aunt Gwen, who runs Magpie Meadows - a dairy farm in Maffra, Australia. Still trying to cope with mental afflictions such as sleep paralysis and hypnagogic hallucinations, she tries to appease her Aunt by attending therapy and pretending to take her medication. However - she has always been a dreamer - and finding a mirror portal to the world of dreams is just the perfect ticket to sanity, isn't it? The Dreamland, (called "Onesol" by her guide - Varun - who happens to be half man, half seahorse), is just one of the realms that Delwyn can enter in physical form. It is in this realm where she must face her darkest Shadow in order to become whole - yet Delwyn prefers to play rather than do the work required of her. Will she ever learn that her true destiny awaits - if only she can start taking herself seriously? And what of the realms she sees while she's astral travelling or the beings she encounters in hypnagogia? How can she keep all the inner realms a secret when the outer realm starts closing in? As all Delwyn's afflictions and wonderful adventures in Onesol plummet her further into the belief that she's a "Portal Stormer" - and that she can continue existing with "One foot in each world, riding them simultaneously; expecting not to fall!" - her Aunt, her childhood friend - Greg (who has always loved her) and her doctors scramble to save her from herself. The question is: which realm is the fantasy?" "Delwyn of the Realms" is Book 1 in the Storming Archives. A fantasy story that has adventure, a little romance, humor and a few dashes of horror!

Love, Friendship, Poetry, Obsession and a Magical Cookbook - they can all be found at The Willow Lake Group. Gavin Ramsay (a 42 year old man with a checkered past) travels to Willow Lake - a sleepy town somewhere in New England - to complete a carpentry contract. On the way he meets Liam Strindberg, a 27 year old hipster who is reeling after his fiance left him on the morning of their wedding day. When they arrive at Willow Lake, they go their separate ways - only to be reunited at the Willow Lake Bookstore - where they meet the colorful characters in the bookstore's literary group. There's William - the proprietor of the bookstore - a 68 year old widower who pines for his dear, departed wife. Then there's Beth and Delia - two lovers in their 50's, who settled in Willow Lake after an eon of persecution from their families. April is in her forties - quiet as a shadow - with a backbone stronger than anyone could have imagined. Alan - fast approaching 60 - is considered a carbon-copy of Ernest Hemingway, with his love of women, fishing and the Beat generation. Everyone adores Stanley - who's 52 and fabulously flamboyant - with his deeply closeted heart on his sleeve. Then of course there's Sondra - the 40 year old witch who prepares the sumptuous meals that delight the members of the Willow Lake Group. Space cadet Mena (20) and self-styled "Goth/Viking/Vampire" Lars (25) are the youngest members - who weave in and out of the group - dancing to their own tune, having escaped terrible abuse as children. Finally, Gavin has found the family he's been searching for his whole life. The icing on the cake (including the cherry on top!) is the love that soon develops between Gavin and Sondra. As for Liam - he never expected to fall in love with a woman's handwriting - which leads him through a dark path of obsession and soul-searching. Gavin is surprised to learn that the handwriting belongs to his beloved Sondra. As all their lives become entangled - the Willow Lake Group find it more and more difficult to retain the peace. All Sondra wants is Gavin - and the successful completion of her Wiccan cookbook. All Gavin wants is Sondra - and for Liam to disappear. All Liam wants is Sondra - at any cost.
