The Soul's Last Host
Heather struggles to go through the motions of a life once worth living. Buy groceries. Take meds. Volunteer at youth shelter. Silently judge therapist. Make dinner. Get drunk. Relive horrific encounter with psychopath. Rinse. Repeat.
Her life is destroyed. And the man who destroyed it is a mystery.
To Heather. To the police. Even to himself.
He sits in the hospital, unable to move his body, unable to remember who or what he is. The name they call him holds no meaning for him. Bernard.
He can travel into their minds. The nurses. The other patients. At least he thinks he can. He sees through their eyes. Listens to their thoughts. Spends the long, lonely hours searching for answers.
When the disturbingly charismatic Dr. Shaw takes a keen interest in both Bernard and Heather, they must piece together a shattered past and choose who they will trust and who they will fight in a war that has been going on since the dawn of humanity. A war where the lines that separate us as individuals blur, bend, and break.
In The Soul's Last Host, McLean weaves a unique and powerful tale that takes us around the globe, through human minds, right into the souls that govern our thoughts and dreams.

The Way of The Fairy Godmother
2015 Winner Writers Digest Self Published eBook Inspirational category.
First Place 2016 Golden Apple Awards for Inspirational eBook
I am a seeker of serenity, searching for the pathways of enduring happiness. Decades of exploring and synthesizing avenues to wisdom led me to my favorite fairytale, the tale of Cinderella. This time I didn't interpret the fairytale from Cinderella's viewpoint. Instead I apprenticed to the Fairy Godmother. I noticed the Fairy Godmother lives within uncompromising, radiant happiness. Her lifestyle is dangerously optimistic. As a result she expedites miraculous outcomes. It's not that she doesn't notice the problems of life. Cinderella didn't have a dress for the ball. She needs a coach and driver. When you are grounded in reality you deal with the problems.
I don't want to tell you how old I was before I began creating my life from the perspective of the Fairy Godmother. Let's just leave it at, for much of my life I was in the habit of creating life from Cinderella's point of view. More often than not I was disappointed. Like Cinderella I worked and worked to create harmony in environments that would not support harmony. Such an unstinting effort is exhausting, especially after several decades. To say it was stressful and no fun only scratches the surface of the issue. It was a harsh and bleak way to live. Imagine Cinderella in her thirties and forties scrubbing away at the kitchen floor, struggling to make beauty in an environment for people who cannot appreciate elegance. Living life from Cinderella's perspective is to stay entrapped in the young maiden who longs for fulfillment. Hardship is her constant companion. Unfulfilled relationships are her unremitting burden.
My quest? Mature beyond the Cinderella archetype. Find enduring happiness. Imitating Cinderella had generated disasters. It's tough to admit. I'm trained in the skills of good communication and the secrets of happy relationships. I have a masters degree in counseling and I've spent decades running down the pathways of mystics, practicing their healing methods. But when it came to relationships even the people who love me the most shook their heads in dismay. Okay, I'll confess. I was in my fifties when I set about studying the ways of the Fairy Godmother.
Way of the Fairy Godmother explores the skills of savoring and what is already working in life. One teacher claimed; if we can breathe we can improve our circumstances. He meant "breathe" in the literal, not metaphoric, sense. That's intense! Do you know the power of a cleansing breath? So when the Fairy Godmother arrived in Cinderella's vegetable garden, almost hidden by the stalks of corn, she didn't talk with Cinderella about her problems. The Fairy Godmother's first conversation with Cinderella explored her dreams and Cinderella's dream was a first date with the Prince. This is important because entwining Deepest Desires with our strengths leads us into a state of absorption and flow. Like the athlete who finds 'the zone' we are lost in the pleasure of growing mastery. One of Cinderella's strengths? Her need to create beauty. She didn't just clean her house, she made her home shine with the love she put into her task. Loving was another strength. Also a Fairy Godmother models a positive language specific to goals and ambitions. Why? Our brains translate our words and thoughts into images. Our biochemistry interacts with images. The Fairy Godmother teaches the power of visual images to prepare us for success and happiness. A Proclamation will revolutionize Cinderella's life. Why? Clear goals initiate self-esteem. Focal points of beauty support her on the journey. Golden Ladders each rung associated with behaviors congruent with Deepest Desires will delineate the territory of personal happiness. With step by step procedures we too enter the world of the Fairy Godmother. If we are stuck in the Cinderella rut, there is a better way.

Number of the Beast: Paladin Cycle
PRAISE FOR NUMBER OF THE BEAST
"I loved it! I know, it gets a little rough and rowdy sometimes, but that just adds to the overall feeling of the story. I'm a grandmother and I'm looking forward to reading the next book to find out what happens!"
"I went into this listen after having read/listen to a lengthy list of either light-hearted or YA books for the past few months. Number of the Beast reminded me that I do enjoy purely adult fiction.
That is what this is, adult and dark and disturbing. I was disturbed in ways I haven't been since opening my very first Stephen King back in high school. If that is what you are looking for, please pick this up. Good writing is getting hard to find."
"If you like your reading to be a maze of action, adventure, violence, sensuality, romance, politics, intrigue and maybe even a little social commentary, this book is probably for you."

The Twelve Attunements
When young journalist Sophie Archer discovers that a secret group of global elites is trying to control the world, she sets out to inform the public. But the conspiracy is bigger than she suspects, and she is launched on a cosmic journey with two bizarre friends. As she encounters UFOs, higher-vibrational beings, inter-dimensional aliens, and an all-encompassing awareness, she learns that humanity is only a fraction of a vast, universal society. She becomes part of a collective of beings who have chosen to help take power back from the global elites and transform the world. Mind-expanding, hilarious, and suspiciously similar to real-life, The Twelve Attunements will introduce you to ideas about metaphysics, consciousness, and spiritual awakening in entertaining and easy-to-understand ways. As you follow the colourful characters on their conspiracy-fuelled quest, you will also be subtly guided along your own journey of transformation.

War of the Black Tower: Part One
When a dark power rises, only a doomed prince can stand against it. "The War of the Black Tower: An Epic Fantasy" is a dark, swashbuckling epic fantasy trilogy. Baleron is the youngest son of the king of Havensrike, a land eternally at war with the dark empire of Oslog to the south. Ruled by Gilgaroth, the legions of Oslog have continually striven to tear down the works of man and sweep the world in darkness. For eons the dark masses have awaited their lord's Chosen One, he who will be appointed by Gilgaroth to usher in the next age of shadow. That time is now. Baleron, though a womanizer and rogue, the black sheep of the royal family one step from being kicked out of the castle, is loyal to the kingdoms of the north and wants only to redeem himself in his father's eyes. But as Baleron leads his sister Rolenya's wedding party through the treacherous Aragst Mountains, they're set upon by the dark powers, and the thralls of Gilgaroth call out to Baleron in worship, calling him the Chosen One. This is just the beginning of Baleron's epic journey of action, romance, wonder and discovery in "War of the Black Tower: An Epic Fantasy." He'll know battle, hardship, the enmity of a terrible dragon, and all the terror of Oslog before he can find out what it means to be the Chosen One of Gilgaroth, and what it takes to throw off his dark destiny.

Dying for a Living
On the morning before her 67th death, it is business as usual for Jesse Sullivan: meet with the mortician, counsel soon-to-be-dead clients, and have coffee while reading the latest regeneration theory. Jesse dies for a living, literally. As a Necronite, she is one of the population's rare 2% who can serve as a death replacement agent, dying so others don't have to. Although each death is different, the result is the same: a life is saved, and Jesse resurrects days later with sore muscles, new scars, and another hole in her memory. But when Jesse is murdered and becomes the sole suspect in a federal investigation, more than her freedom and sanity are at stake. She must catch the killer herself-or die trying.

The Tales of Tim Hurtletuta - New Beginnings
"Tim Hurtletuta has forgotten something. He cannot see or fully understand what it is yet, but behind his awareness a far wiser and more powerful part of him knows that what he's lost has never faded far from view. Its memory waits ever present for his arrival, compassionately and intuitively nudging him towards the peripheries of his reality inside every moment it can. The decision's his to make. Will he remain where and who he believes himself to be? Or will he choose to go against everything his better judgement tells him and open his eyes to embrace the memory as it unfolds itself around him. One thing's for sure, whichever path he chooses his life will never be the same again." The Tales of Tim Hurtletuta is a profound and quirky fictional journey exploring one man's unique remembrance of this beautiful conundrum called life. Book One, New Beginnings is the start of that journey.

The Tales of Tim Hurtletuta - Balance
"After every new beginning comes a period of balance, a space for realignment where the seeds of that new beginning can take root and grow. But what is balance? Through the expression of humanity, balance can be perceived in so many different ways, making it near impossible to find a universal understanding of its form. What connects us inside this conundrum however, is the remembrance of how balance manifests itself through our collective humanity. A manifestation that regardless of our myriad of linear interpretations and ways of being, will always conceptually unite us as one. On one fine summer's eve, with his nearest and dearest by his side, Tim invites you to return to his journey and unite your unique perception with his. Your presence will be sure to help create a remarkably good evening." The Tales of Tim Hurtletuta is a profound and quirky fictional journey exploring one man's unique remembrance of this beautiful conundrum called life. Book Two, Balance, is a continuation of that journey. An inspirational story of personal discovery and how such discovery connects the inner world we witness with outer world we see. Although it would be awesome if you read Book One, "The Tales of Tim Hurtletuta - New Beginnings," before you read this book, it must be noted that there is no prerequisite that indicates that you need to. Although this story is indeed a continuation of what has been, it has also been designed to stand alone in its own right too. As is such, please trust your intuition on where is the right place for you to join Tim's journey. You can't go wrong. Please note that the novel has been written and edited in British English.
