It is when darkness touches night, our words grow soft, to a whisper, in the shadows of a candle’s flame. A warm melody beckons our soul’s release and our words filter through time and eternity, echoing our heart’s desire. It is that darkness that shelters our fears allowing us strength to let go of the words that call to us from deep within, granting us the wisdom of thought, the depth of mind to say what has so long yearned to be spoken…so come now, listen in the shadows of this night to the souls thought, the heart’s feeling, the soft spoken echoes of whispered words.

Malcolm Deeley "author of The Empyrean"
Whispered Words is a book that breaks many rules. Refusing
to yield to the marketing dictate that demands works to be
narrowly categorized and easily labeled, Rainey Moon's book
moves through poetry, short prose, song, and longer tales
with remarkable and unexpected grace. She explores the
themes of life -- its pain and doubt, as well as its
moments of transcendence and amazing joy -- and she does
so with an honesty that moves beyond genre, and makes this
book a work of intensely emotional art. She does not stand
back from her passions and observe; she plunges in, and
we are swept with her, across a landscape of desire, fear,
reflection and hoped-for redemption. When you are finished,
and set down Whispered Words, Rainey Moon's world will
stubbornly refuse to fade -- an image, an emotion, some
aspect of her burning, powerful voice will linger -- and
that is a reading experience not to be missed.
