Gerry C Starnes, is the author of the six-volume, historically-based Druid Twilight saga (2013-2022). Threaded through the political intrigues of first century wars between the Roman legions and British tribes, the books explore the central questions: who were the Druids and from where did they come? It is an expansive tale of love, intrigue, betrayal, death, and also personal evolution. Follow the characters through life-changing experiences and personal struggles to grow into roles that seem both pre-ordained and in some ways also impossible. He is also a best-selling non-fiction author, including the award-winning Spirit Paths: The Quest for Authenticity, as well as numerous other personal development publications, videos, and podcasts. Trained in counseling and psychology, his publications offer realistic, earth-based approaches to healing and growth. In addition to the first two Druid Twilight books, he published three more publications in 2013: The Shamanic Journey, Power Animals, and Conversations Within (2nd edition). Gerry currently offers classes, workshops, and retreats based on contemporary shamanic and traditional personal development practices. He is a founding member of the Society for Shamanic Practitioners and the founder and organizer of the Shamanic Community of Austin.
