The book is called <b><i>Faery Tale: One Woman&#8217;s Search for Enchantment in a Modern World<\/i><\/b><br \/>\nand it is being released by Perigee this November. The author is a wonderful woman named Signe Pike.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a blurb about the book: <\/p>\n<p>In search of something to believe in once more, Signe Pike left behind a<br \/>\ncareer in Manhattan to undertake a magical journey-literally.  In a<br \/>\nsweeping tour through Mexico, England, Ireland, Scotland, and beyond,<br \/>\nshe takes readers to dark glens and abandoned forests, ancient sacred<br \/>\nsites, and local pubs, seeking people who might still believe in the<br \/>\nelusive beings we call faeries.  As Pike attempts to connect with the<br \/>\nspirit world-and reconnect with her sense of wonder and purpose-she<br \/>\ncomes to view both herself and the world around her in a profoundly new<br \/>\nlight. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nCaptivating, full of heart, and unabashedly whimsical, <i>Faery Tale<\/i><br \/>\nis more than a memoir-it&#8217;s the story of rekindling that spark of belief<br \/>\nthat makes even the most skeptical among us feel like a child again.<\/p>\n<p>Signe was kind enough to answer some questions for me so next<br \/>\nweek I will post the interview.This book comes out November 2 and if<br \/>\nyour faith is wearing a bit thin or you just want a wonderful pick me up<br \/>\nor are curious about the faery folk get a copy next Tuesday!<\/p>\n<p>With love and aloha,<br \/>\n<i><a href=\"http:\/\/susangregg.com\/\">Susan<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Angels are everywhere just open your mind and your heart to the signs.<\/p>\n<p>Make <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/angelsonyourshoulder\/\">Angels on Your Shoulder<\/a>  part of your daily routine and share it with a friend! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before I left for my trip I was asked if I would be interested in reading a manuscript about fairies.
