Rain No Evil


As heard on

One woman's true story of supernatural trial by water

Alex Templeton is rural Ridgeland’s very own walking­tall version of justice who’s swung his hickory stick so often that he’s callused not only the hand that once slid a ring on Savannah's hand—he’s callused his heart. Savannah wants her police officer hubby to respect her, but he continues to spray vile words her way. Savannah, angry that God is ignoring her prayers to mend her marriage, dares God to prove He is real. For the next few weeks, water drenches the inside of the house while the Templeton’s search for the evasive source of the leak, not realizing that God is responding to Savannah’s dare in an unusual way...

Meet Michele

Michele Savaunah Zirkle, MA, PhD, is a published author, holistic energy practitioner and life coach. After twenty years of teaching high school English, she now teaches self-empowerment and healing to all ages.

Not your normal paranormal.

In Michele Zirkle's debut novel, Rain No Evil, lead character Savannah needs more protection than her police officer husband can provide when a few demons infiltrate her life. As one demon soaks the interior of her home, another pops up in her mirror. Just knowing that an evil presence could be buried within her skin almost scares the hell right out of her. Almost. It takes a lady with divine light to do that.

Based on true events, Zirkle's novel has been described by Bram Stoker award winning author Michael Knost as, "Wickedly funny, yet profoundly sincere and thought provoking."

Rain No Evil - not your normal paranormal.

My pen, my praise

Ever since I was a little girl writing in the dark, I knew that the pen in my hand was a part of me-that with each stroke I could shape characters and create any kind of world I wanted.

I write my own stories each day. To inspire. To heal. To keep hope alive. The words call me into a world of my own and every once in a while I get the swirling message onto paper.

My words, whether spoken or written, are healing. Thank you for croaking along with me as I jump from one lily pad to another! Us frogs must stick together to navigate where to land.
