The power of the Goddess shines through all that she does. --Merlin Stone, author of When God Was a Woman and Ancient Mirrors of Womanhood What a gift and a treasure this book is.

A magical memoir, Broth from the Cauldron is like a Wiccan Soup for the Soul. --C.E.

Read it and you will laugh, love, cry and remember. --Green Egg Magazine Fallingstar is a consummate story-teller who brings her characters to life in all their fullness and complexity. She lets the characters define themselves through their relationships, especially those involving Fiona and her lovers--Annie, her young gypsy friend; Sean, the son of the village laird; and Alain, the magical wandering minstrel. I cannot remember the last time that a book moved me so deeply. --Fireheart Magazine In the business of writing, few authors can successfully write about their own experiences and have them accepted by the reading public. Very little has been published by authors who were actually writing about experiences they had in another life-time. Taylor Caldwell claimed to have lived her own novels, but nobody really believed her. Fallingstar, on the other hand, augments her past life experience with meticulous research into the period and a stunning use of detail. There are no anachronisms in The Heart of the Fire. A vividly written and compelling book that is next to impossible to put down. --New Directions for Women The characters in this book are rich and full. They cover a wide spectrum and are all completely believable. And the writing is brilliant. The love scenes are the most erotic I have ever read, and the pace and timing of the story are flawless. Highly recommended. --Sage Woman Magazine Praise for White as Bone, Red as Blood: The Fox Sorceress Cerridwen Fallingstar's second historical novel, White as Bone, Red as Blood: The Fox Sorceress is by far one of the best reads to come along in a while, historic fiction or otherwise . . . the book has what any reader wants in a story: love, deceit, betrayal, murder, passion and even erotica. The ending will leave readers thirsty for the sequel. --San Francisco Book Review ...an intricate tale of treachery and love that is so realistic, it feels as if the reader is actually a living witness to the tale. It is historical fiction at its very best... --The Historical Novel Review Seiko Fujiwara, a potential sorceress, may just hold the key to the salvation of her country. But fulfilling the prophecy is never an easy thing...an interesting and excellent read. --Midwest Book Review This is such a beautiful book. I started and finished it in one day. I couldn't put it down. I highly recommend this book...but with the warning to be prepared to be swept away by the excellent narrative all the way to the last page. --Goddess Oracle
