“I have already suggested 'The Touchstone Diary' to two book clubs as a must read. I have read some of the non-fiction work that frames the story about the bloodlines and the other, more likely version of Jesus’ life. The beautiful way the author has put it into story form makes the material more accessible, and certainly more enjoyable. I applaud anything that can help us remember that we are all ONE, and get away from the dichotomy thinking of good/bad, right/wrong. 'The Touchstone Diary' series is another light in the wilderness with a captivating story and compelling characters.” – Ellen Morrow
"Bickman takes you on a well-researched historical journey with biblical characters brought to life with tender characterizations and personalities we can all relate to. She paints a thought-provoking and engaging new perspective of history, one that is both intriguing and enlightening. Open yourself to her compelling, great read as she sheds a new light on a complex historical tale.
– Rita Kirsch Dungey

Raw adventure, shamanic magic and secrets collide with magnetic passion deep within the Amazon jungle... ISBN 9781530520336 234 pages $10.95
Sydney Knight is a beautiful woman and an accomplished international photojournalist. She appears confident and successful, but has become a master at masking inner scars from failed romantic relationships. She’d only fully given her heart twice and each time it ended in disaster. Fleeing to the Amazon Jungle of Peru was Sydney’s way of escaping reality. Little did she know that her sanctuary would become a love nest of passion and electricity beyond her wildest dreams.
Dr. Drew Harris was facing an inner conflict of his own. He retreated to the jungle to volunteer in the local clinic. He came with old scars of guilt that he may have been responsible for his own wife’s death. He certainly wasn’t looking for love, but the unexpected fire he felt when he looked into Sydney’s eyes was undeniable.
Initial resistance turned into passion, accented by danger and even death. But when mystical shamanic healing rituals challenged Drew’s beliefs as a doctor, Sydney’s respect for a man who couldn’t see beyond his own science wavered. Was the passion that fueled them going to be enough...
