The Avery Victoria Spencer Fables
Avery Victoria Spencer is a financial wizard, able to resolve the most challenging financial issues for her bank customers in Waukesha, WI. But her successful life is an illusion. She stands on the edge of bankruptcy because of her vicious need to spend more than she earns.
Diagnosed long ago with dissociative amnesia, Avery doesn’t know that she’s covering up the root of an old trauma she can’t bear to face. But old traumas don’t die; they needle, poke, and travel deeper into our psyches until we are willing to face our deepest selves. Avery is no exception.
In despair, Avery will take four dream journeys and meet magical characters who will help her face her old nightmare so that she can become the woman she really is. Each of her journeys will provide clues to bring her back to herself by offering specific challenges to overcome. Each will bring her closer to the life she truly wants to live–if she will face her old nemesis.
Incredible characters show up to take Avery to places inside herself she has never known; to open her heart to the powerful freedom of facing the truth.
Award Winning
The Little Black Book for Blue People
The Little Black Book for BLUE People is the story of a girl who is growing up BLUE. Everyone knows because her face color matches her feelings. With only a paintbrush and a blank canvas she artfully demonstrates how it feels to be BLUE; then discovers a remedy locked up in the dark closet of her unhappy mind.
This is an award-winning tale, but for the author, the true reward is in the message that is helping people, both young and old, to change their attitude toward being BLUE, first by admitting it, then using the incredible power inside to improve their lives.
VIVIAN
Vivian Probst is a linguist, national speaker and award-winning author. She has been writing life-changing fables since 2000 when a story came to her in a dream and she knew she had to put it into print.
As a child, Vivian Probst loved reading and writing. She had no idea that she would actually become a writer and publish a number of fiction and non-fiction books, or that at least one of them would become an award-winning novel (Death By Roses).
Her writing life began at the age of forty-seven while she was the owner of a successful national consulting firm, teaching complex IRS housing tax regulations. What she’s learned over all these years is that when a story/idea shows up--even if it’s just pieces or you don’t think you can possibly handle anything else—just say YES and be available to write what comes to you. If you don’t, you deprive yourself and others of a gift that only you can give.
Most of Probst’s works are fiction; two are currently non-fiction, one just released in 2024. All are intended to uplift readers, whether through fantasy or real-life experiences. Probst believes that we each make a difference and how we choose to express ourselves determines whether or not we have a positive impact on our world.
