SOUTHBOROUGH, MA -- August 30, 2005 -- A woman receives channeled messages that tell of an impending doomsday and include instructions to prevent it. For personal reasons she conceals the messages. Then one day she finds both the opportunity and the courage to "gather the women."

Thus begins a long journey for a small group who will call themselves the “Priestesses of the Emerald Dove.” Together they continue the quest for information, guidance, and a means of counteracting the foretold horror.

THE SONG OF AN EMERALD DOVE follows their journey as the predicted events begin to unfold. “I refer to it as ‘a different kind of holy war’ because the women in the story are fighting as an army of eight on the side of their goddess and world peace. The women must use their paranormal talents and their personal courage, patience, and faith to determine the true nature of this threat — and to triumph over it. I think it will appeal to a wide range of readers, especially those who enjoy stories of the triumph of the human spirit -- and also those who are curious about others who work with the paranormal,” says author Xanna Vinson.
