The Healing Power is within us.

The power to change our lives is within us.

Some people call it the 'The Law of Attraction'.

It is known to many from the book, 'The Secret' ,

Whatever it is called, for many it is known, but not always clear. We can read about it; we can watch movies and videos about it; we can pray for it, but not always get it.

Is there a secret to finding it? That's what this novel, 'Annon's Secret Something Within', is about. How to find, embrace, and live with the power of the universe within you.

Will reading, Annon's Secret Something, awaken the healing power within you?

Can learning how the characters who attend Annon's sessions changed their lives show you how to change yours?

Writing it changed mine. Reading it can change yours.

It's hard to believe that Annon and the characters from 'Annon's Secret Something Within' have been a part of my life for all these years. They have become almost as familiar to me as my family.

Their story was first published by a good friend, and former high school classmate, Dr. Bob Richmond in a web site in the late 90's. I'm not sure what the URL was, or if it still floats around in cyberspace somewhere.

In the beginning, it was the scene, the setting, Annon's House, his living room where they would come to learn from him how to change their lives. Annon quietly entered the scene in my mind and I could visualize him standing before the ornate framed mirror with the shadows of flickering candles dancing on the wall like ancient cave drawings.

In the beginning I didn't know anything other than to sit down and write the words as they poured from my consciousness. Much as I'm doing now.

As a writer, I never know what's coming next. I just write what I sense hearing and follow the flow. I'm finding I can't do that as I prepare to launch the updated version of the novel, previously published but never really marketed, The House of Annon.

Now I need a plan. A marketing strategy. I'm doing this alone, except for the help of fellow author Rose Lamatt, (Just a Word) who gives me advice, finds errors, checks the formatting, and encourages me not to give up. She tells me it is a good book; that readers will benefit from reading it; it can change lives. Thanks Rose--you keep me plugging away.

I don't have a major publishing company with editors, publicity advisers, or any of the other book selling aids that tried and true authors have to launch their work. But I have the Internet and my Internet buddies and most of all, I believe in this project, thanks to my own, 'Secret Something Within'.

Introduction - My 'Aha' Moment

In 1982, I was drawn to a small, well read, paperback book. “The Inner Secret or That Secret Something Within”, was the title. Anonymously written, it was printed in 1922. I glanced through a few pages, put it aside and started to move on. Something compelled me to pick it up again. At that time I didn’t know what or why. I do now.

This little book had a profound impact on me. In the midst of the book came my ‘Aha’ moment. I suddenly realized who I am. I stunningly became aware of my Secret Something Within. It was overwhelming.

Not long after reading it, the first words of this novel poured into my thoughts. They hounded me, repeating like a song that won’t stop singing in your head, until one day I sat at the word processor and began typing each sentence as fast as it came into my thoughts.

“Shadows of flickering candles dance on the wall like quickened images of ancient cave drawings. The aroma of burning incense mingling with fresh cut flowers creates an aura of tranquility.”

The scene was set, the House of Anon became the title. Anon, the main character was beginning his final Gathering. After years of teaching people how to find their Inner Spirit, that secret something within to change their lives, he was preparing to move into the NEXT realm of existence. Before he could leave he had to find someone to take his place.

In the beginning there were only four, Peter, Tony, Marcy, and Alice. They became vivid characters in my mind. Gradually Elaine, Alan, James, Mark, Sheila and Eric joined them as the Gathering progressed. Would they learn how to change their lives? Would one of them be Anon’s replacement? I had to find out. I had to write their story.

Come, join those who are learning to use the Secret Something within to change their lives. It could change yours.
