WOMEN’S FICTION

THE INVISIBLES
Standalone novel
I loved everything about this book: the Italian setting, the drama and laughter, the food descriptions! If you like romance and color, this book is for you. Two sisters clash when they claim their inherited cottage on a coastline in Italy. Saffron is running from the troubles she can’t stop creating, and Elinor is escaping from truths she can’t face. But when a spirit from the 19th century has taken possession of their house — and might claim them — they must find a way to come together to face danger and restore harmony. Read on Kindle Unlimited. BUY ON AMAZON.

RETURN TO LERICI
Sequel to The Invisibles

A suspenseful, moving story of the power of love and second chances. In this a sequel, the sisters have ironed out their differences and cemented their bond. But now their mother, Betsy, is fighting her own cancer battle and returning to Lerici, Italy to stay with Elinor and her fiancé Tonio while she’s treated. Saffron and her family also come to stay. They discover that Betsy, despite their objections, has been searching for their adopted half-brother, known to them only from adoption papers as Baby Boy. Even the family ghost wants to find him—the deceased family guardian spirit whom only Saffron can see. But while the sisters hesitate, Baby Boy, a.k.a Daniel Perdue, finds them. He comes to Italy with a plan to escape his crew of criminals whose money he impulsively stole to help a beaten-up, homeless man. Knowing of the Greenes’ juicy inheritance, he figures he should have a share. BUY ON AMAZON.

POETRY

ARABESQUE takes its title from images: the looped swirls notating language, and the long toe-to-fingertip curve of a ballerina’s stance. “Rachel Dacus takes us on a sinuous dance in Arabesque, one that spirals through the world of travel, art, love, and loss.” — Barbara Crooker, Les Fauves and Barbara Crooker: Selected Poems. Maria Rouphail’s review of Arabesque in The Pedestal Magazine.

 

GODS OF WATER AND AIR
Poetry, prose, and drama.

“Dacus’ book will invite you to journey with her through adventures in art museums, pie baking, and eagle-spotting.” – Jeannine Hall Gailey, She Returns to the Floating World.
“…
the humor and irreverence of a 1960’s rebel mix with feminist, expressionist, and lyrical motifs as the author openly explores her feelings, relationships, and spiritual musings. — Ann Wehrman.

 FEMME AU CHAPEAU
Poetry to unravel life’s uncertainty and richness,  often formally framed. “This is a book to relish for such insights, by a poet clearly up for the ride, and not afraid of the risks.” — Rhina Espaillat, author of Where Horizons Go. 

 

 

EARTH LESSONS
“In Earth Lessons, Rachel Dacus composes poetry that is layered as richly as layers in the earth’s crust. Her ability to write well-crafted poetry that also has strong elements of sound makes the reader wish for the chance to hear her read in person.” — Reader Review
  
 

 

 

  A GOD YOU CAN DANCE – CD
Spoken Word Poetry and Songs.
Carefully crafted meditations framed by well-chosen music and sound-effects to create a constantly changing aural landscape. “Refreshing little bursts of thought… yes it’s spoken poetry but not artificial or self-conscious… it is more like the inner monologues we usually have going during the day, but always with a twist that elevates the observation to find a new meaning in the most ordinary things…. widely varied, some of them have light sound effects and music… A booklet in the CD has all the words to the poems—If you like Billy Collins or Rumi, you’ll like this.” – Henry S. Mindlin
