Free on Kindle thru Jan 3
Los Angeles, CA --
“Statue of Ku” the second book in the Moa series by Tricia Stewart Shiu
is now Free on Kindle Dec 30 thru Jan 3, 2014. The first book in the
series was “Moa” and the third the recently published “Iron Shinto.”
All three chronicle a fanciful flight through time and space in a
multi-dimensional universe of interplanetary spirits.
“Though
Shiu writes her books for a Teen or Young Adult audience, her
commitment to expand the mind is so well centered that her audience
could comfortably and satisfyingly include adult readers, especially
those curious about universal levels of being.” --Grady Harp, Amazon Top 50 Hall of Fame Reviewer
‘Statue of Ku’
follows Hillary and Moa as they jet to Egypt on the Prince’s private
plane to reclaim Moa’s family heirloom, the inimitable statue of Ku.
Once on the ground, however, they find that their search is less about
retrieving a treasured family possession and more about tracing a
healing path in their genetic lineage to its true beginning. Their
journey involves magic, sacrifice and discovering their unique healing
gifts, which live within all of us. Their story intertwines with that of
the real boy, Ku — his questions, his travails and, eventually, his
triumph. In their continuing search for the Statue, Hillary and Moa find
that the answer to every question they seek is where they least expect
it and that healing gifts are not lost but merely forgotten.
Tricia
Stewart Shiu recently completed a successful Kickstarter campaign which
helped raise funds for the costs of editing, publishing and publicity
for “Iron Shinto,” as well as the audio books for all three books in the
Moa series. “The series is designed to appeal to the fans of Young
Adult, Metaphysical Fantasy Fiction and others who just love books,”
says Shiu.
The
author, in addition to being an award-winning playwright, is also a
metaphysical adept who actually met Moa, the ancient Hawaiian spirit at
the heart of the series. "When I was five," Ms. Shiu explained, "I was
visited by a vision. I’ll never forget it, I was running down the stairs
and the entity, a girl with dark hair, stopped me in my tracks. The
spirit said that I would go through a deeply challenging time in my
life, but would resurface, later in life, with unimaginable joy and
fulfillment. That vision stayed with me."
Many
years later, taking a nap during a visit to her husband's family home
in Honolulu, that dark-haired girl came back. "In my mind’s eye, I saw a
beautiful young woman with dark hair, who said her name was
Moaahuulikkiaaakea’o Haanaapeekuluueehuehakipuunahe’e—Moa for short."
Ms.
Shiu's experience with this benevolent spirit launched her into a
personal journey of spiritual exploration which included studies in
mediumship, pagan and Huna rituals as well as an energy healing
technique called “Crystalline Consciousness Technique.” She also studied
a variety of shamanic clearing methods and healing rituals.
The
result of the author's unique background is that each chapter of the
book begins with a meditative ritual that pertains to that chapter. Some
of the rituals, oils or meditations are even mentioned in the plot of
the book. All of these rituals are easily done by the reader and have
remarkably soothing and healing properties.
The
author sums it all up this way; "Whatever your belief or understanding
of the metaphysical world, I believe that if one person is transformed
through learning, then we are all transformed. I truly believe the Moa I
met came through in this work and, just as I connected with her as I
wrote, those who read the book will experience her as well."
All of the books in the Moa series are available on Amazon or on the author’s website http://humanbeingcompany.com/
