About
Angela T. Pisaturo's novels bring to life the ordinary woman.
Her realistic depiction of the inner soul’s struggle to find its purpose has brought healing and truth to many women. The reader may identify with Amelia DeLuca; a love starved daughter who learns to forgive in The Rich American Woman, (winner of the John Gardner Award, Honorable Mention for Best Character Description of the main character). Maybe they identify with Nellie Parker; the disfigured eccentric middle-aged woman whose discovery of an ancient artifact transforms her life in Treasures in Clay Vessels, or with Veronica Wheaton, the hard nosed reporter whose hateful 'truth crusade' leads her to face the hard truth about her own life in The Cedar Chest (available 2010). No matter where the readers see themselves one thing is for sure – they will come away with a handful of hope and a cup of inspiration.

Description
<h2>Taliesin Weaver thought that he had saved himself and his friends when he defeated the witch Ceridwen. He was wrong.</h2><h3><i>He always thought of evil as embodied in external threats that he could overcome in combat. Soon he will discover that the worst evil has been inside of him all along....</i></h3><p>Tal’s girlfriend is in a coma for which he holds himself responsible. A close friend, suffering from a past-life memory trauma similar to Tal's, is getting worse, not better. Morgan Le Fay is still lurking around and has an agenda Tal can’t figure out. Supernatural interruptions in his life are becoming more frequent, not less so, despite his expectations. In fact, Tal learns that something about his unique nature amplifies otherworldly forces in ways he never imagined were possible, ways that place at risk everyone close to him.</p><p>Tal and his allies must face everything from dead armies to dragons. As soon as they overcome one menace, another one is waiting for them. More people are depending on Tal than ever; he carries burdens few adults could face, let alone a sixteen-year-old like himself. Yet somehow Tal at first manages to handle everything the universe throws at him.</p><p>What Tal can’t handle is the discovery that a best friend, almost a brother, betrayed him, damaging Tal’s life beyond repair. For the first time, Tal feels a darkness within him, a darkness which he can only barely control...assuming he wants to. He’s no longer sure. Maybe there is something to be said for revenge, and even more to be said for taking what he wants. After all, he has the power...</p><p> </p><h2><u>Can Tal stop himself before he destroys everyone he has sworn he will protect? Scroll up to buy a copy and find out!</u></h2>
Story Behind The Book
The Biblical Artifacts exhibit had come to my hometown. After viewing the exhibits, I browsed the gift show, stumbling on a replica of an ancient Herodian Oil Lamp, also known as a Jesus lamp. After reading its history, and about the belief that the lamp represented freedom and deliverance, I began to ponder the idea about what would happen if a recluse woman battered by life came about the original lamp that came from the line of David and possibly Jesus' own family. Would it change her life? Would she find peace?
That's how the book envolved. Then I threw in the Maine coastline for a setting and the fact that she was an antiques owner and the rest took on a life of its own.
