    About this ebook

    Eleanor could be you. Like many, she did not realise that destiny is a fixed point, not a random place, and like many who join cults, Eleanor was blown off course, living through storms and doldrums alike, losing view of her intrinsic identity. It can take many years to find your north star again and finally sale into port, exhausted, yes, but back on dry land. This book follows the journey of Eleanor before, during, and after she sailed away, convinced of her destination.

    Nora Frances Atkin

    Nora Frances Atkin was born on the east-coast of Ireland, and has returned to live there after spending many years living in the south-west of the country. She has two grown sons and two Collie dogs and spends a lot of her time walking and contemplating. She has a particular interest on the way land-scape affects the physic, the difference being easily comparable while living in different counties of Ireland, and how people respond and resonate to land-scape. Frances has a deep interest in the stories and myths of her country as well as the myths of England and the rest of the world. It is with great sadness that she perceives these myths fading as they did in Avalon, and feels that all mystery should not be solved, all darkness should not be lit, for without myth and secret, we humans become too self-assured and loose our place in the eco-system, deeply harming it physically, emotionally and spiritually and society must learn to keep balanced in all it does consumes and says.
