She is the author of the non-fiction books Seven Sacred Sites, A Magical Journey, The Book of Faery Magic, Mermaid Magic, Witchy Magic and Into the Mists: A Journal, and creator of the meditation CD Sacred Journey. The Into the Mists Trilogy is her first adventure into fiction, and she is currently finishing two Into the Mists Chronicles, Into the Storm and Out of the Shadows. Serene is a reconnective healing practitioner, and has studied magical and medicinal herbalism, bereavement counselling, reiki and many other healing modalities, plus politics and journalism. She loves reading, rainbows, drinking tea with her friends, and celebrating the energy of the moon and the magic of the earth. Her pagan heart blossomed as she climbed mountains, sat in stone circles, wandered through ancient cathedrals and stood in the shadow of the pyramids on her travels, and she's also learned the magic of finding true happiness and peace at home. www.SereneConneeley.com
