Dire Plight of the Western Monarch Butterfly

January 12, 2020 by Margaret Duarte

Dire Plight of the Western Monarch Butterfly

In 2003, when I started writing book three of my “Enter the Between” fiction series, I knew the Monarch Butterfly would play a major role in the story: as part of the natural setting of Pacific Grove (home to my story and to the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary) and as the symbolic representation of transformation and […]

Enter the Between fiction series by Margaret Duarte

One of my goals has been to live long enough to finish all four books in my “Enter the Between” visionary fiction series. Success. I made it. One day before my 70th birthday.

Esselen People are not Extinct

Until I started research for my novel series, I knew little about Native Americans other than what I’d seen on TV.

Holographic Universe in Fiction

In last month’s post, my protagonist Marjorie Veil experiences seemingly random events that affect her in a life-altering way and jar her out of her own little world. She starts paying closer attention to the subtle and not-so-subtle messages from the universe that continue to pop up in her daily life, via signs, symbols, and […]
