"Reading The Loose End of the Rainbow is an experience, a journey.
I can honestly say that while reading this novel, I had no idea who
D. B. Pacini was. I did not review the website or read the author's
section on the website until AFTER I finished reading the manuscript.
The novel was just a story; for a moment in time, the lessons were
reflected in my life and parallel to some of the experiences I was
having. In fact, many of my personal experiences mirrored what was
unfolding in the novel. Even when I put the manuscript down, whenever
I picked it up again, often what I was reading next applied to what
was going on in my own world and environment. It was amazing."

Tchiya Amet is presently in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, recording her third album,
Celestial Folk Music. The upcoming release combines her three greatest passions:
Reggae music, the universal celestial culture that we share, and her native heritage.
She is also extensively involved with her research project: Introduction to the
Indigenous Galactic World View. In this compelling investigation, she explores
and shares the celestial and galactic connection between the pyramid cultures of
Egypt, the Dogon/Sirius Culture of Mali, and the numerous cultures and civilizations
that have emerged from the Ancient Olmecas of Turtle Island. Much of her research is
documented on her website:

"Nature speaks her luminous teachings through D.B. Pacini’s artful and prolific word craft,
as surprising, whimsical, and rich as moss-covered stones, so fresh and firm in good philosophy
at first glance, yet deeply under-layered with hues of solid life-honoring thought, a beauty
and stability of which caresses the sacred. The Loose End of the Rainbow
arrives just in time to captivate, inspire, and remind us of the truths we knew for certain
when we were five years old, but were reasoned out of."

"If we were to look upon our own child, what qualities might one most wish to see:
Selflessness, patience, wisdom, compassion, courage, tolerance, kindness, strength,
and a respect and awareness for life itself. Through vivid imagery and a great
sense of both the finite, and the infinite, D.B. Pacini provides a magical pathway to
all of the above qualities, for anyone having the fortune to read The Loose End
of the Rainbow."

"D. B. Pacini’s novel, The Loose End of the Rainbow, is imaginative and
extraordinarily well researched. The story honors the supernatural
gifts of White Eagle and Paints-With-Words, two seventeen-year-olds,
who lead a cross-continental trek to the magical loose end of the
rainbow after all the adults in their tribe vanish when a fever sweeps
across their land." http://www.writeradvice.comhttp://www.calwriters.org |

“I read The Loose End of the Rainbow on a train. It was a special place to read
such a novel. I loved the story and found it wonderfully rich with goodness. It was
delightful, yet thought provoking in that it makes me wonder why the world cannot be
colorless when it comes to race. I look forward to meeting this author someday. She
is an unmet friend, one that loves all people as I do, equally.”

Martha Redbone
"D.B. Pacini’s The Loose End of the Rainbow is a beautiful tale of
fantasy-fiction packed with the kind of earth-bound life lessons so
needed by our young people today. Vivid imagery takes you on journeys
with unexpected twists and turns; at times I felt as if I were holding
tight on a rollercoaster ride!"

"When I began reading The Loose End of the Rainbow - which by the way is a lovely title - I thought
I was reading a treatment for a movie. But soon enough, I was SEEING the movie in the wide screen of my mind!
The scenes are simply yet vividly written and become very beautiful and satisfying in my mind's eye. Lots of
good stuff in this! How wonderful if we humans were as compassionate and altruistic today as they are in this
story. Let's go for it!"

"D. B. Pacini is a true pociyikimi citiyoyotiki (story teller)!
The Loose End of the Rainbow is an extraordinary novel with
characterizations that are consistently superb. Pacini's
descriptive powers match her excellent visual imagination.
She has given us a terrific learning and adventurous story."
