Earlene Gleisner is a retired Registered Nurse and an active Reiki Master with an abiding love of books and writing. Majoring in English and Psychology, her path was diverted to nursing in 1964 so her parents would be assured that she could earn a living wage. She and her family settled in Laytonville in the early 80’s. She has recently moved to Willits and loves traveling to the coast when possible. 
     During the 50 years as an RN, she continued her love of writing and has been published in two Canadian anthologies, a medical manual for physicians, and was a regular contributor of medical and news articles, plus personal essays to The Mendocino County Observer and Willits News. Through her publishing company, White Feather Press, she published Reiki In Everyday Living to complement her practice and teachings as a Reiki Master. This collection of 14 essays and 8 poems was translated into four languages and published in five countries. 
     Her first two novels, The Awakening and Every Second Chance live in boxes on a shelf. Through White Feather Press she self-published The Marriage Bundle and The Spirit Bundle. These are the first two novels of her Sacred Bundle Series which is a quadrangle of books telling a circular tale about relationships across time. These are the relationships we have with ourselves, each other, our spiritual paths, and with our Earth. The Women’s Bundle and The Earth Bundle are in the works. Short stories, a poetry chap book, a 10-year blog and newsletters continue to emerge. She is thrilled to have several writings accepted into the 2019 Noyo Review and the Writers of the Mendocino Coast anthologies of 2020 and 2021.
     Her desire to inspire others to write their stories was the catalyst of her seminar ‘Writing for A Change” which she has taught in camp sites and conferences for the past twenty years. She recently presented this series of classes over KLLG 97.0 Willits Hometown Radio and will be presenting its six sessions at Willits Center for the Arts in 2021.
