Heart of Gold With Silver Flames

A Heart with Silver wings coming out of it.

Heart of Gold

With Silver Flames

by Cheryl Knoll



Where love becomes light and the soul finally remembers itself.


Some books don’t just get read—they awaken something in you. Cheryl Knoll’s

Heart of Gold is one of those rare works that slips quietly into the soul, inviting

readers into a world where love feels destined and soul-deep. From the opening

vision of two hearts bound by “silver flames, ” Knoll explores connection that

transcends time and flesh, reflected through pieces like “Does He See Me?” and 

“Same Soul, ” where longing, recognition, and the pull of destiny shimmer between

every line.


Knoll moves effortlessly between the sacred and the sensual, crafting poems

where breath becomes prayer and closeness becomes communion. In works

such as “His Breath, My Life, ”“Warmest Love,” and “Soul Living,” she reveals intimacy that feels both earthly and divine. This spiritual thread continues through

moments of stillness and nature, inviting readers to discover quiet revelations

within poems like “Sitting With God” and “Where He Is.”


A radiant collection of spiritual and romantic verse that beautifully unites divine

love and human connection with poetic grace.

-MainSpring Books


At its heart, this collection is also a tribute to resilience. Through pieces like “She is

A Queen,”“Finding Me,” and “My Epiphany,” Knoll honors the strength of a woman

who rises, reclaims, and remembers her own worth. These poems whisper to

every reader that healing, self-love, and inner rebirth are not only possible—they

are powerful.


Follow the quiet glow—something in these pages is waiting to recognize you.

Thoughts on my Thoughts VI: The TALES That Wagged This Veterinarian

Man in Night Hanging from Climbing Rope

A Philosophical Adventure Through the Heart of Modern Faith, Doubt, and Self-Discovery

What happens when a single idea refuses to stay small?

In Thoughts on My Thoughts VI, Dr. Walter R. Hoge once again invites readers into his introspective world—a place where questions are not meant to be answered quickly, but wrestled with, revisited, and refracted through experience. This sixth installment in his reflective series is a masterclass in mental excavation, where the simplest observations spiral into profound meditations on politics, morality, God, the nature of belief, and the paradoxes of our modern world.

Through a sharp and unflinching lens, Dr. Hoge contemplates everything from media bias and scientific hypocrisy to divine silence and personal authenticity. His writing—unfiltered, unapologetic, and fiercely intelligent—is not for the passive reader. It’s for the curious, the restless, the seekers who crave dialogue with someone unafraid to challenge cultural dogmas or question sacred institutions.

Provocative, fearless, and fiercely introspective—Thoughts on My Thoughts VI challenges you to rethink everything. – MainSpring Books

But underneath the philosophical rigor and social critique, there’s an unmistakable heartbeat: the voice of a man who still dares to hope. A man who, despite life’s noise and injustice, still believes in asking: What is truly good? What is truly true?

This is not just a book of essays. It’s a confrontation. It’s a mirror. It’s a friend whispering, “You’re not alone in wondering.”

The Breaking of Time:

Chronicles of the Arvynth


MARIEL HEMINGWAY'S BOOK CLUB SELECTION

One father's desperate choice fractures time and reality itself.

To everyone around him, Daniel Ward is a mild-mannered accountant, devoted husband and father in a quiet New England suburb. But when his ten-year-old son chases a runaway soccer ball into the street, straight into the path of a speeding truck, Daniel does the impossible. He freezes time.

That single act of defiance exposes the secret he's buried for decades. His magic awakens the ancient order he once betrayed, the Arvynth, a brotherhood of immortal sorcerers devoted to stillness and death, determined to silence the world.

As his carefully constructed life unravels, Daniel must protect his family while evading the brotherhood that hunts him. Every second he steals from time feeds the void that seeks to consume it, threatening not only the people he loves but reality itself.

Forced to choose between sacrifice and survival, Daniel discovers the truth: sometimes the loudest act of love is defiance.

The Breaking of Time is a race against eternity, a supernatural thriller that fuses urban fantasy and family drama in a story about the noise of life, the cost of power, and one father's desperate fight to keep the world from falling silent.

The Death Wizard Chronicles: Volume 1

Dragon Face on Fire

The Death Wizard Chronicles: Volume 1 


The Death Wizard Chronicles: Volume 1 is the opening book in an epic dark-fantasy trilogy set in the war-torn realm of Triken, where death itself can be harnessed as magic. The story centers on Torg, a Death Wizard, whose terrifying gift allows him to die voluntarily and return stronger each time, drawing power from the agony of his own demise. He is both champion and outcast—feared for what he can do, yet desperately needed as the last real defense against a rising tide of darkness.
Across Triken, brutal armies, monstrous creatures, and powerful sorcerers battle for control. Ancient forces stir, long-buried prophecies awaken, and a malevolent foe seeks not simply to conquer, but to break the world. Torg is drawn into a brutal conflict that will test his body, mind, and moral center. His struggle isn’t just against armies and tyrants, but against a deeper, more intimate threat: a monstrous enemy intent on devouring everything—and everyone—he loves. The series blends large-scale warfare with intimate character arcs. There’s rich world-building, a complex magic system based on the mechanics of death, and a tone that moves between visceral, violent, sensual, and deeply philosophical. While the battles are intense and the stakes apocalyptic, the heart of the story explores fear of mortality, the cost of power, sacrifice, trauma, and what it really means to be alive when death is never final.
