Whisperings from the Rowan Tree: Calming Stories, Guided Therapy for Grief, Trauma, & Healing

Ozzy in the School Bus is the first of my true animal stories.
On a bitterly cold winter’s day, a frightened puppy with extraordinary blue eyes emerged from beneath an abandoned school bus and quietly changed the lives of one family forever. This is the true story of Ozzy’s rescue, his courage, his gentle nature, and the remarkable bond that followed.
Based on real events, this heartwarming story is suitable for anyone who loves animals, rescue stories, and the unexpected moments that stay with us for a lifetime.
If you enjoy gentle storytelling, true memories, and tales told from the heart, I hope you’ll join me for more adventures from Whispering From the Rowan Tree.
This is the first story in my Cameron Animal Tales collection—a series of true stories about the unforgettable animals who became part of our family

The Kindness We’re Told to Outgrow | The First Moss and Bramble Story

Meet Moss and Bramble, two gentle woodland friends who discover that kindness is never weakness. This first story introduces a magical world beneath the Rowan tree where courage, friendship, and compassion quietly grow together.

A soothing children’s story for families, grandparents, teachers, and anyone who believes gentle stories can leave lasting footprints on young hearts.

What happens when you travel to one of the brightest, busiest and most magical places in the world… only to discover that the place you most want to be is sitting quietly in a hotel room with a book?

In You Are Cordially Invited… to the Brightest Place in the Kingdom, Nell Rowan enters a world of castles, fireworks, music, crowds and carefully organised enchantment. But somewhere between aching feet, endless queues, an elusive cup of tea and a hotel room with no kettle, she discovers something she hadn’t realised she was searching for.

Quiet.

This gentle, humorous and reflective story from Whispering From the Rowan Tree explores the pressure to make the most of every moment, the different ways we experience wonder, and the surprising places where peace can find us.

Perhaps sitting still is not missing life.

Perhaps it is where life finally catches up with us.

Come and sit beneath the Rowan Tree for a while.

The chair is waiting.

And, naturally, the kettle will be on.

The Year I Thought Meant Nothing is a deeply personal story about a year that once seemed like an empty space between one life and the next. A visit to Pam, an unexpected conversation, and the words of Desiderata quietly helped a woman begin to see that another life was possible.

Only years later does she understand that the year she thought meant nothing was one of the most important of all—a quiet turning point when healing began, hope returned, and the road forward first came into view.

This story is for the carers, the strong ones, the silent supporters. The ones who make tea and sometimes need some one to pour it for them.
