May those who love us, love us.
And those who don't love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if he cannot turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we'll know them by their limping.

ABOUT THE SPANIARD'S CROSS ON AUDIOCASSETTES:
You'll see them for sale everywhere online, but this story on tape is not the same as the story published as a novel by Hard Shell Word Factory. Many  moons ago I wrote SC as a novella; yes, I wrote both but they're not the  same. For Hard Shell and the large print edition, the story needed to become   a novel. So I cannibalized the novella's setting, hero, heroine, and the cross to create the novel. In so doing, I saw how I had grown as a writer  and how I could make the book so much better than the novella. There are  ghosts of the novella in the novel but the two are not the same. Please, buy  the novel. It's so much better.

RIVER OF DREAMS

A friendship that catches fire, a conquistador's gold medallion, an act of atonement that goes horribly wrong, a rain forest trek they might not survive ...

Gabrielle O'Hara, a bush pilot in Brazil, plans to enlist the aid of Nicolao Hamilton, her childhood friend, to help her return a conquistador's gold sunburst medallion their fathers had stolen from a shrine deep within the rain forest. Gabby believes that act cursed their lives, allowing happiness to slip by "an inch out of reach." She hopes that by returning the medallion, the curse will be reversed.

Unfortunately, Nic doesn't believe in the curse and contends the trip would be suicide. With no alternative, Gabby shanghais Nic.

Things go terribly wrong after they replace the medallion in its tiny shrine, as if the debt is still owing and fate is demanding interest. An accident on the river, a raging infection, an illegal mining operation, and relentless danger combine to thwart their safe return from their mission. With the rain forest's entire arsenal to contend with, their bond of friendship develops into a love that will bind them forever ... if they can survive long enough to experience it.
