Synopsis
"A delightful YA mystery mixed with a touch of the paranormal and some intriguing twists" - Manie Kilian
Amberlin is outspoken and adventuresome - traits that the radically conservative community which she lives in would rather suppress. And if she doesn't follow the rules, Reverend Stover will make sure she suffers the consequences.
She is careful to keep her gift hidden. Amberlin can sense emotions with a single touch, and bend the elements to her will. Her grandfather believes Amberlin is destined to save their world from darkness, and decides to help fulfill her divine purpose.
Even with his support, doing so seems impossible. But after a strange woman begins to haunt her dreams, Amberlin can no longer ignore her calling.
Praise for AMBERLIN:

About the Author
W. Bradford Swift became an avid reader of fantasy and science fiction as an eleven-year-old boy when his next-door neighbor, who was a children's librarian, took pity on his single-parent mom. Bored out of his gourd with no one to play with but good 'ol mom, Swift drove her crazy until Mrs. Crabtree brought home a stack of books she knew would hook a young boy and give his mom some relief. It worked. He's been hooked ever since.
For over two decades Swift has been conducting an experiment: “Is it possible to create a new context for life that is true to my deepest values, my sense of what’s possible, and true to my soul and spirit? If it is possible, what will be the results? Will it enhance my life? Will I experience a true sense of purpose and meaning? Will I know at the end of the experiment that my life has mattered?”
Becoming a writer of visionary fiction and non-fiction has been an integral part of this experiment, as was co-founding Life On Purpose Institute with his wife in 1996, being a life coach to assist others to create their own life on purpose, and training other Life On Purpose Coaches.
Since selling his veterinary practice in the late 80’s to pursue a career as a writer and life coach, Dr. Swift has published over 350 magazine articles in dozens of national publication. Many of these have been part of a pet writing project: Project Purpose: to write and publish articles about people whose lives are dedicated to a bold and inspiring purpose or vision.
He is also the author of visionary nonfiction including: Life On Purpose: Six Passages to an Inspired Life, Spiral of Fulfillment: Living an Inspired Life of Service, Simplicity and Spiritual Serenity, and From Spark to Flame: Fanning Your Passion & Ideas into Money-making Magazine Articles that Make a Difference.
Dr. Swift attended Clarion West in Seattle to further hone his skill and passion for writing fantasy and science fiction. These two genres are forms of visionary fiction – fiction that first and foremost entertains while also enlightening and encouraging the reader to embrace greater possibilities in their own lives.
Giving back to future generations of young adults and adults through visionary fiction and non-fiction is an integral part Dr. Swift’s legacy of a life on purpose.
