| I have no doubts that the wiccan reader will feel very comfortable with the story line; in fact, I am hoping that they will feel a fellowship with the protagonists! Regarding the general public, I do have to admit my concern that such readers would shy away from a story involving witches, but it is my hope that they will see past the phony nose-twitching or cauldron-stirring cackling stereotypes and accept these women as genuine heroines. I guess that means they would be wearing white cone-hats. |

| Yes, The Song of an Emerald Dove is a story of courage and a different kind of holy war. To many readers the term has two immediate meanings. The “old” meaning was about the Crusades. The new meaning is more about today’s terrorist threats. Both of those impressions convey images of blood and battles and sweeping hordes of soldiers. I wanted to use that brutality as a kind of challenge, to make the reader think that perhaps there are other ways to fight wars. The women in Dove are fighting their own holy war because they are priestesses in their Wiccan religion and are fighting in an army of eight on the side of their Goddess and world survival. The messages initially told them that this task would take longer that they had ever worked in the past, and they had accepted that guidance. Please join them. |

| "Authentic and inspiring." Dolores Stewart Riccio, author of Circle of Five |
| "With beautiful descriptions of Wicca ritual, Xanna Vinson skillfully weaves the actions of a coven into the web of the modern world. Age-old rites and communion with the ancient deities... attempt to save the world. Astral projection, meditation, and ancient ritual are the weapons of choice. A well-written, skillfully-crafted story of courage; a novel to entertain; a volume to educate." Raymond Buckland, author of The Committee, Cardinal’s Sin, Buckland’s Complete Book of Witchcraft, & others |

| "Would I recommend it? Whole-heartedly!" Mike Gleason, independent reviewer |
| "This is one of the best works of Wiccan fiction I have read in years." Andrius Reviews New Books, "The Unicorn Messenger" |
| "I am awed by the ambitious dedication that produced a text that long, and that coherent, on a first novel.
Brava! What I really loved … was the assumption of female continuance in what we have inherited as a masculine-oriented world.
