"A story of "uncovering," Dragonfly Slayer's characters' past and present synchronicities are mindfully crafted layer by layer before revealing a surprising conclusion. In her distinctive passionate, vivid prose, Ms. Begovic skillfully blends the intellectual and emotional infused with a magical realism that both intrigues and excites the imagination-a rich, mythic journey well taken." -

Fabulistica "A chance meeting between a scientist, Weylin McLaughlin, and a homeopathic shaman, Keith Wilson becomes a catalyst for self-discovery while exploring the revelatory effects of a psychedelic drug. A former lover, Leandra, and a cancer patient, Annette, team up with them and travel across Ireland on a path that leads to past life regression, the permanence of love, and an ancient curse kept secret from the visible world. Begovic's literary prose is poetic, accessible and provides the perfect genre-bending marriage of myth and medicine. Will the painful truths these characters discover restore health and rekindle a romance as immortal as the Celtic lullabies sung on the green hills of an emerald paradise?"
- Mark Antony Rossi, writer-Host, Strength to Be Human podcast "Weylin and others - discover they share past incarnations after taking the psychedelic drug - Jacacia. This drug provides past-life regression therapy and a source of self-knowledge. The fire and enchantment of erotic sex between Weylin and Leandra contrast her attempts to remain faithful to her husband. The interlaced past lives also reveal a long-standing curse, which requires the help of a shaman to lift the spell. The rugged encounters are well written by the author.
Jana Begovic skillfully creates a dark love story that burns through time. Excellent writing for a difficult prospect."
