The Book, The Burial, by R. Penman Smith is available through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and directly from Tate Publishing. The Burial is a Spiritual Thriller with a dark twist and a redemptive outcome. The story springs out personal experience; ‘write what you know about’. Those who are comfortable with fantasy and are not afraid of the reality of the spiritual warfare inherent in Christian life will love this book.

Imagination is the faculty through which we discover the world around us, both the world we see, and that other unseen world that hovers on the fringe of sight. Love, joy and laughter, poetry and prose, are the gifts through which we approach that complex world. Through the gift of imagination we have stepped into an ever flowing river where the realm of Faerie touches Middle Earth.

When Diana Smiles







Diana smiles, the sun shines through her eyes
Darkness flees, and joy wells within my soul.
All that’s faded fades away and I am whole
Again. The larks are singing in the skies
Filling the air with joyous melodies,
Praising the Lord of love, whom they extol,
And love illuminates my merry soul;
While all the world around resounds with cries,
Loving sighs, ringing cries, unrestrainéd
Jubilation, and spring springs fresh again.
Loves’ sweet celebration is unfeigned
When Diana smiles I am glad again.
When loves’ pure light shines through unconstrained
Winter has passed and spring has come again.
