Welcome to Carolyn Heinz’s blog on the Free University website.
The scene is beautiful Gig Harbor on the south end of Puget Sound. This is where I live, write, walk, and enjoy life with Don Heinz.
MAGE AT MIDNIGHT, a work of fiction by Carolyn Heinz
Annie Gilbert retires from her English teaching job to face an empty future of meaningless Facebook relationships and unneeded medical procedures. In a midnight encounter with an online video game, she creates an alternative self, a mage, which proves transformative. When her husband buys a seventh run-down house to fix and flip, Annie panics. She ends up in India with the mission of returning a strange stone to a young woman ascetic in the holy city of Rishikesh, and becomes drawn into a Tantric cult and an antiquities smuggling ring.
