Blooming Rose Press Book Event Gallery

We invite your return to this page for additions throughout 2008 with the formal release of The Twelfth Age!

We like to work with independent book shops in small-town environs and welcome contact from book shops, art galleries, gift stores and all venues for fiction that moves readers to broaden their perspectives - fiction for wisdom-seekers. Blooming Rose Press invites inquiries for book-signing engagements and appearances.

From the July 2, 2008 issue of the Mount Shasta Herald, journalist Will Duggan reports:

"Five local women authors will be staffing a 'Women With Wisdom' booth during Mount Shasta's Fourth of July street fair in the downtown area July 5 and 6."

As Lily G. Stephen is quoted in the article accompanying the adjoining photo, "We're going to celebrate our work as writers...All of us have something unique to offer in the way of insight and perspective. For me it has been the completion of a metaphysical trilogy. The literary work has been an opportunity for me to come to terms with being a storyteller and facilitating a vehicle for the sharing of higher wisdom."

Stephen releases The El-eventh Hour

Novel follows The Tenth Muse, By Paul Boerger

Mount Shasta author Lily G. Stephen has released the second volume of the planned Third Verse Trilogy, The El-eventh Hour. “The Third Verse trilogy is a work that spans several genres, visionary and literary fiction,” Stephen said. “ Although second in the trilogy, The El-eventh Hour can be enjoyed as a stand-alone novel.” The first book in the trilogy, The Tenth Muse published in 2000, was well received by reviewers. The Midwest Book Review said of The Tenth Muse, “a compelling and emotional novel...myth, legend fuse with reality in this unique, intriguing, complex and well-crafted highly recommended tale.” The Tenth Muse tells the story of two girls inhabiting parallel worlds and their connection to an ancient myth. The El-eventh Hour follows Miranda, a character from The Tenth Muse, through her mystical experiences in Peru and elsewhere. “Miranda moves through exotic settings, among them an ancient subterranean city-complex, a higher-dimensional realm called Lamartine, and a refuge within the peak of a scared North American mountain,” Stephen said. “The El-eventh Hour embraces the next phase in human evolution and answers a need for higher wisdom in fiction.” Stephen’s said her own spiritual path has led her from growing up in a restrictive fundamentalist Christian sect to receiving teachings from Tibetan Buddhist masters. “I ask readers to embrace the concept of mankind moving toward enlightened society,” Stephen said. “Our only true hope is in transforming human experience through wisdom and universal responsibility.” The El-eventh Hour is available at Village Books in Mount Shasta or online at www.bloomingrosepress.com.
