Cosmic Dancer

An interdimensional love story!

2011 Visionary Fiction Finalist in the National Indie Excellence Book Awards and in the Eric Hoffer/da Vinci Eye Awards.

What if you suddenly remembered your life between lives? Fifteen-year-old Amelia Longwood thought her life was boring, until the first vision of a crystalline carriage flashed into her mind during Freshman history.

This is a tale that doesn't stop when life ends, but travels with its characters into life between lives, to beautiful worlds of Light and schools for soulic learning. In order to conquer the challenges of life in a small town in 1969, this young ballerina will have to draw on the strength of her many lives and the Cosmic helpers who come to her aid in unexpected ways. Trouble is, she's terrified of being locked up in a "loony bin," a threat her alcoholic mother lobs all too often.

10% of net proceeds from sales of *Cosmic Dancer* are donated to Mary Murphy's Chance to Dance, a nonprofit program bringing ballroom dance lessons into elementary school classrooms.

"This is a beautifully written book that contains some of the most vivid imagery I've had the pleasure of experiencing in a long, long time. But it is so much more than that. ... Lianne Downey shows us that there is more to human nature than meets the eye, in this lifetime anyway. This incredible book takes you on a journey that will change the way you view the difficult relationships in your life, forever." - M. Doetsch

"I thoroughly enjoyed this story filled with a sense of magic and possibilities. It transported me to my own youth and brought dreams of other times and places. It was like leaving behind an old friend when it ended." - Linda Block, ISSSEEM Newsletter

"Cosmic Dancer could very well become a classic ... it is masterfully written." - C. Hampton

"Cosmic Dancer is a life-changing book. My personal challenge is to hold the inspiration I feel now and to 'pay it forward' to myself. It opened a world of love and understanding for myself, others, and the other worlds." - C. Dunbar
