The Butterfly's Apprentice

Gabrielle's facial expression changed and she had a heavy feeling in her stomach. Slowly the words came out of her mouth, "Chris, are you telling me that you crossed that gate the Gate of Awakening?"
In a very dry manner, Chris replied, "Yes."
"When?" Gabrielle asked.
"Three-hundred years ago."

The Butterfly's Apprentice is a modern day tale of universal wisdom and spiritual discovery reminiscent of Carlos Castaneda and Richard Bach. The story follows Gabrielle, a young school teacher whose new next-door neighbor is not quite what he appears to be. His startling revelations lead Gabrielle to new vistas of metaphysical understanding where the heart leads, the mind opens, and everyday choices result in the unfolding of a Power Spell . . .

AUTHOR'S NOTE

Chris Herman's character was inspired and based on the Count of Saint Germain. During the 1700s, he fed the poor and worked for peace. The Count of Saint Germain was also known as "The Wonder Man of Europe," because, it was claimed, he could speak every language, travel by thought, and looked the same for one-hundred years.
