"The muse teachings of Lei Shamilly are portrayed from a pure heart. Her intricately woven messages are mystical and magical. Lei Shamilly is a shape shifter, who spins stardust energy throughout Sedona's sandstone. Discover the secret of the missing crown while being blessed with heart shaped bubbles of love."
~ Kayla Gayle, Ph.D., Author of Mystica and the Magical Labyrinth"This story arrived just when I needed it… when I needed to sit back and take a journey beyond my crazy busy existence to remember the beauty, sanctity, and whimsy of life. Find a quiet corner and indulge yourself with this gift. And if a stranger shows up dog, cat or human — welcome the disruption and read the story together.
~ Marcia Reynolds, Ph. D., author of Wander Woman: How High-Achieving Women Find Contentment and Direction"When the guardian angels appear in the forms of delightful dog companions the fun begins. The reader tumbles down the rabbit hole only to ascend the rainbow ladder, there to be embraced by an intrepid band of travelers on their journey of faith, love, joy and self-rediscovery through fantaphilosophies of ancient wisdoms and modern whimsy."
~ Lynne Leakey, naturalist guide and author of the forthcoming Travels with Wilma"In this whimsical, colorful story, we are offered an opportunity to go on a soul journey through and in Sedona (what better place for that?) and learn many valuable lessons as we travel with the story's characters through a magical landscape/soulscape. The author does a good job of integrating the wisdom she has to share into her story — which is, in itself, a wonderful example of how we can do the same in the stories of our lives."
~ Marchiene Rienstra, retired Unity minister and author of Eisha's Search"Sunday Larson is one of the most gifted, innovative, original writers I know. Her concepts and writing are not only creative and fun — she has garnered an audience of readers who anxiously await each publication. Sunday's first two books are a 'one-two-three punch'!"
~ Terrie Frankel, New York Times Best Selling Author"The Spinning Game is a wonderfully gritty story that grabs on to you and doesn't let go."
~ Romantic Times"In the land of red rocks, mystery and sorcery, a fascinating tale about the power of women."
~ Lynn Andrews, author of "Medicine Woman" and "Tree of Dreams""Muse and wise woman Sunday Larson has created a timeless love story."
~ Lane Badger"I learned more in the first thirty pages of this book than I have in ten years of attending workshops and classes. The Spinning Game is about true magic, the magic that permeates ordinary reality, and in fact, is ordinary reality."
~ Jan Scarbrough, Playwright, "A Rock Wedding" Boulder, CO,"I felt I had been touched in the deepest part of myself by your story.
Thank you for writing this."
~ Barbara H, NM"I almost felt as if Sunday had written my life into story form because so much of what Viva goes through I have been going through. I kept thinking —Sunday knows!"
~ Diahann Reyes, actor and writer.
