KEEP YOUR BODY HEALTHY, VERSATILE HERBS SERIES, DETOX AND PROTECT YOUR BODY and WACKY SYMPTOMS so far. I love the art of healing passionately, but alone it never satisfied me fully. I love to paint, my favorite medium is oil. The passion I feel when I'm holding the brush in my hand in front of the canvas, is too much for me to bare at times. I felt unfulfilled and bursting inside until I realized that I can tell stories. The history of the Huns and Magyars had always fascinated me. They were my ancestors. Our history is full of holes, mysteries and speculations. There are only a few written facts about us, besides our legends. I can't tolerate unexplained things or missing pieces well in a story, therefore I use my fertile imagination to fill the historical voids. My novel,EYE OF THE BEHOLDER was born. We found seven orphaned fox babies in our backyard, and with a little help from us, we watched them growing up to be magnificent foxes. The picture book, THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN BABY FOXES is their story.
