The sequel is near publication; the third is a work in progress.The first 2 chapters establish the character and iron-willed determination of Maggie, then the fun begins!Maggie is pushed off a cliff by her possessed husband, pushed from her ordinary life into a realization that she is the most unique woman on Earth! With a broken, battered body she struggles to survive the ravages of major injuries and a violent storm, seeking shelter in a cave occupied by countless animals. There she finds compassion and astounding awareness that she can communicate magically with them.A symbol on her neck, thought to be a birthmark is actually a direct connection to Earth II, where powers beyond her wildest dreams would be bestowed upon her by the Higher Power in the Faraway.

She drove a 2-year old 'Chevy' 4-wheel drive pick-up truck with 3 years of payments left. Though a Nurse by profession, she had turned to songwriting to satisfy her creative propensity. She loved animals, was a member of the 'SPCA', often wearing an emblematic orange t-shirt that read, 'We Are Their Voice'!Although not by choice, the hope of all 'Beings' for the promised Utopian after-life would rest upon her shoulders in her quest of "MAGGIE WILSON'S WORLDS".Author's note: This book is not about religion, nor is Maggie a religious person. However, in order to assess her life and the concept of an after-life, she must fall back upon her religious teachings and the Bible, for there is no other reference for her!She sometimes embraces her Christian upbringing, sometimes refutes it, but always remains connected to it. This vital aspect of her life is interwoven throughout the Maggie series. Some religious parody is utilized for entertainment purposes.
