The Within Trilogy
Three standalone novels about one woman at three
points in her life. They are published in the order they were written

The Canyon Within is where to begin.
The Within Trilogy
The Canyon Within
Cover reveal soon
Start here
Coming March 3, 2027
At fifty-two, Arielle has spent decades being everything to everyone. Now perimenopause is reshaping her body in ways no one warned her about, her sons have left home, and the marriage that once held her feels carefully managed rather than loved. The silence inside her grows deeper than the one around her.
She descends into the Grand Canyon hoping to find the woman she used to be. What she finds is a stranger on the trail, an ancient way of seeing the body, and a question she hadn't known she was asking.
Also in the trilogy
The Chaos Within and
The Creation Within are being written.
In Arielle's own chronology the three run
The Chaos Within, then
The Canyon Within, then
The Creation Within — and each can be read on its own.

Kids' Questions About Life
A children's series on body, mind and soul
Each book is a collection of questions and answers — a small encyclopedia for any parent or child who wants to know more about the essentials of life. The concepts are made tangible through a family of bears living their adventures in the great outdoors: as the cubs ask questions, Mommy Bear and Daddy Bear answer with simplicity, honesty and hopeful positivity.
Available in English, French and German
Book One
Hey Buddy, I'm Your Body!
The first installment of the series. An educational book written in simple language for parents, teachers and kids who are pondering the deeper, more complex, yet so essential issues of life — an early introduction to who we are and how to take care of ourselves.
Explaining the complexity of the human being in general — in this book, the human body more specifically — is not an easy but a very important task for parents. These concepts are made more tangible and easily understandable through a family of bears. As the bear cubs ask questions about their bodies, Mommy Bear and Daddy Bear seek to answer their little ones with simplicity and honesty.

Emphasizing that we are part of nature and made from the same building blocks as everything else in nature helps children understand how to take care of their body. The body knows how to heal itself, but it needs our help to make informed and wise choices for a healthy and happy lifestyle.
The questions this book answers
- How do we make babies?
- We are a bunch of cells? What are cells?
- What do I feed my cells?
- Why do we need to eat animals?
- Why do I have to pee?
- Why do we have to sleep?
- Why do we get sick?
- What are germs?
- How can I fight the germs?
- Why do some kids get more sick than others?
- Why can't my friend eat nuts?
- Why are junk foods even sold?
Book Two
Wait for Me! Would You Mind?
The second installment. An educational book written in simple language for parents, teachers and kids who are pondering the deeper, more complex but yet so essential issues of life: an early introduction to who we are and how the mind works.
Explaining the complexity of the human mind to children can be quite challenging. Abstract concepts, thoughts, ideas, imagination, focus and attention are made more tangible and easily understandable through a family of bears. As the bear cubs ask questions, Mommy Bear and Daddy Bear seek to answer their little ones with simplicity and honesty.

The awareness that we perceive the world through our limited senses, and that there is more out there than what we initially think, helps broaden our horizons and open us up to a greater reality.
Knowing about the mind's way of thinking, and becoming aware of the presence of more than we perceive, is essential. The mind becomes our tool rather than our identity. We become more capable of distancing ourselves, of choosing what we want to believe and what kind of information to feed our minds.
Book Three
The Little Souls
The third installment. An educational book written in simple language for parents, teachers and kids who are pondering the often unanswerable issues of life — an early introduction to who we are and where we come from.
Attempting to explain the meaning of life, souls, birth, death and the Universal Soul can be quite a challenging task for parents. These concepts are made more tangible and easily understandable through a family of bears. As the bear cubs ask questions about life, Mommy Bear and Daddy Bear seek to answer their little ones with honesty and hopeful positivity about the Universe.
Read the full description
The idea that we are all connected to one another — like many stars in a galaxy, many droplets of water in an ocean, or many grains of sand in a desert — helps translate concepts like good and bad, birth and death, and even dreams into something more concrete.

Once You Know
A Guide To Preserving Your Child's Health
Today's generation of children is the first in history with a shorter life expectancy than their parents. Only about a quarter of a person's health is down to genetics; the rest is diet, environment and lifestyle — which means a great deal of our children's health lies in our hands.
This book is an invitation to look harder at the cultural influences on our children's health, a resource for parents who want to take an active role in preserving it, and a guide to the information most of us simply never got.
It is not about expensive drugs, supplements or medical intervention. It is about nourishment — not just what a child eats, but the total nutrition of body, mind and soul — and about how much easier preserving health is than curing disease.
