The Bear Woman is a story about love. A powerful, dramatic and adventurous narrative of Rion and Loana's possible and impossible love.
It is a story that inspires us to never lose hope and to never let go of our dreams, regardless of how inconceivable they may seem.
The Bear Woman can be read by children from seven years of age and upwards, but is also a tale for grown-ups who have long since lost touch with their enigmatic, dreamy and magical childhood world.
We published Ocean's magical tale just before Christmas. It is a wonderful tale of love and longing that appeals to both children and adults and is reminiscent of the 1980's movie "Ladyhawke" with Michelle Pfeiffer and Rutger Hauer.
It is just outside the top 100 in the Amazon paperback charts for its category and is currently with Audible in preparation for its production as an audiobook.
The deer was running for his life. He had seen a man, a hunter. As a little fawn, he had witnessed his father being killed by an arrow and the experience was forever ingrained in his soul. He had seen the arrow bore its way into his father's body and watched on as his spirit slowly left this world.
The man, the hunter, was in hot pursuit. He knew that the deer had seen him, and he realised he didn't stand a chance of catching up with him, yet he ran all the same. The forest witnessed the chase and determined to protect the deer, an oak tree pulled up its roots, tripping the hunter as he ran past and sending him tumbling to the ground. As he fell, the man hit his head on a stone and was knocked unconscious.
It was in the middle of the night when she slowly emerged from the cave. Her eyes were accustomed to the darkness, she had night-vision. She knew every stone in the forest, every tree, every hiding place. The last traces of fur on her arms had disappeared, to give way to velvety soft skin. She was once again a very beautiful, young woman.
In the daytime, she was a brown bear, and at night a beautiful woman.
She listened intently.
There was utter silence, save for the hoot of an owl in the distance. She left the safety of the cave and went out into the night. It was springtime, and the wood anemones glowed in the darkness. There was a chill in the night air, and the woman wrapped herself in a sheepskin. She gazed at the moon and noted that it would be full in few days time. She walked aimlessly through the forest, letting herself be led by the light, shadows and sounds. As she skirted an old oak tree, she almost tripped over a man lying on the ground.
