Books with author E. Forbes

The Four Elementals have vanquished the creatures of the Night Oak Forest; however, a new darkness lurks in the realm of Aisling. As their family moves into the manor that once belonged to their late grandmother, the Hanley sisters must adjust to life in the enchanted countryside. Between the extravagant galas, beautiful gardens, and elegant wardrobes, the new lifestyle begs for the title of perfection. Nevertheless, it is not long before the twin sisters are greeted by the peculiar memories that dwell in the old house. A forgotten mystery beckons for attention, and the truth threatens to reveal a series of ancient secrets. The simple answers of the previous year are countered by the complicated history of the Gifted society.

Welcome to Aisling, an enchanted realm where each individual is born with a unique and magical Gift. For centuries, this realm has been slowly crumbling due to an ancient curse set on the land. Stone castles hold mysteries, and secrets veil the reality of the shadowed beasts that roam the forest. Three years after discovering their elemental powers, Alice and Emery Hanley step into the Academy for Gifted Youth, where their lives are forever changed. Amidst the disappearance of a fellow student, the twin sisters discover a prophecy that could save the realm of Aisling from destruction.

We've all heard "It's the thought that counts", and "You are what you think", but how many of us really pay attention to what we think? The truth is, we each have the power to create the life we want, and it all starts with our thoughts. Through our thoughts, beliefs, words, and expectations, we really do create our life. Because "I am" are the most powerful words, this book is filled with 110 powerful "I am" affirmations which will help young readers gain the confidence they need to shape their own lives and impact the world in positive ways.

“Doubt and fear are enemies of the strongest warriors and queens, and only the foolish are immune. When there is nowhere else to turn, these demons must be faced with a lethal sword.”The return of the Lost Dreamer brings change to the lives of the Elementals. His reappearance sends a shockwave across the Gifted realm. How can a child vanish without a trace, and return after the passing of a decade? The Hanley twins are crowned with the full attention of their peers. The end of summer brings the beginning of their second year at the Academy for Gifted Youth. Nothing remains simple; life will never be the same. Mysteries unfold and questions are answered. The Lennox clan must conceal the dark truth of their past. Alice soon discovers a secret. Her knowledge holds power—and danger, too.

We are all consciousness, and therefore come into this human experience as pure love and pure potential. Unfortunately, by the time we're toddlers, the ego has emerged, and cultural conditioning has begun. We soon forget who we really are, and by adulthood, we're lost and confused. With much work, some of us find our way back to truth, to our true self. We call the process awakening or becoming enlightened, moving from the darkness of mass ego-induced hypnosis. How much better it would be if we could help children to not forget who they really are in the first place. That's the purpose of this small collection. It's time to try something new; to discard the old and harmful conditioning which has caused a great deal of pain and problems for humans, animals, and the planet. It's time to change the future of the human race, and it begins with helping today's children be more compassionate, mindful, and confident than any previous generation.

“Care to fill me in on this big plan of Yours, God?” Shauna Silverton was sure that the worst had happened after her father is laid off, but she was wrong. After Mama injures herself and is unable to work, it suddenly becomes sixteen year old Shauna’s responsibility to be an afternoon caregiver to the elderly Mrs. Willows. A cynical, sharp-tongued old woman with a broken past, Mrs. Willows is anything but pleasant. Friendship, even civility, is non-existent. To quit would mean freedom, but how can she let her family down when they need the money? Shauna’s faith in God is the only thing getting her through each day. But when it becomes clear that Shauna will have to keep her job indefinitely, even that begins to waver as she struggles to know the answer to the question: Can she really trust God?
