Selene Silverwind

The world has been savaged by earthquakes, floods and all forms of natural disasters; to be cleansed into a more peaceful place. A place of harmony. A place where Pagans and non-Pagans were accepted as equals. This is the futuristic world that Fiona and Julian live in. From Beltane festivals to drumming circles, waterfalls to mountain ridges we are allowed to follow their lives from the beginning of their first meeting. Their love is the kind we all dream of and their dedication to each other, it feels, began before their births. Into this beautiful love story comes a person from Julian's past; a cult member and old girlfriend named Sarah that lives her life to threaten the peace and joy in theirs. It is a mood changer that twists and turns throughout their lives together to a grand finale.

Selene Silverwind calls upon all her wondrous knowledge of Paganism to lead the reader to experience the actual feelings and mechanics of Paganism at it's best. From rituals to crafts; details are provided that come only from having experienced them first hand. The only problem with Once Upon A Beltane Eve has been being able to put it down. It has been the most wonderful fact filled love story that this editor has ever experienced. It brought tears to my eyes and smiles to my face as she held me spell bound through the flowing plot of her novel. It leaves this reader saying "I wish it were real, and I wish it were me" at the end of each and every page.

I regularly review many new books and this is one of the best written I've reviewed. The details are brought across in a most believable and natural flowing fashion. I highly recommend this book to anyone. Pagan or non-Pagan will find a common love for nature and a common love for the sake of love inside it's pages.

Blessings, warmth and love .....
