The first one being…
Q: What are the main points about you and/or your writings that should be emphasized to the media? A: Three important key points are: 1) While I am not a psychic-medium, I have experienced psychic phenomena or the supernatural and continue to develop my innate psychic abilities. 2) My writing evolved out of a search for the truth’s to some of life’s greatest mysteries, sharing my discoveries along the way. 3) Once I recognized and began to follow Spirit in my life, every aspect of it changed for the better, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. - – Q1.mp3
Q: Who do you think will want to read your books and is it meant for any one religious sect or group? A: I believe there is something for a great many in each volume of Pieces of the Puzzle, but especially for spiritual seekers, the curious or open minded, caregivers or healers, those searching for true happiness, moving through mid-life analysis, pursuing positive lifestyle changes, or looking for the truths to self and life, and those near-death or living with some life limiting illness or disease. - - Q2.mp3
Q: Why did you write this spiritual growth series? A: I wanted to know more about who and what I am, about life and death, and why we exist. Along the way, I wrote of my discoveries. I also believe the writing is meant to comfort and uplift the hearts, minds, and souls of others, as well as myself. Remind them of the true nature of their being, their inherent gifts and creativity, their immortality, and their vital connection not only to each other and their spiritual family, but also to a divine source of wisdom and love. I am discovering the truths to self and life along side of everyone else who has ever asked such questions as, “Am I all that I am, Is there more to me than flesh and bone, Is this all there is, How can I be happy, Does my life have meaning or purpose, What I can I do to help the planet and all of its inhabitants, and especially, What if anything awaits me at death?” I wrote of my spiritual quest to share both my discoveries and resultant miracles, those we can all benefit from. For we learn and grow the most when once we meet and make a connection. – - Q3.mp3. Another Blog Article: My Purpose in Life
Q: Is it all true? A: Yes, speaking only for myself, of course, all of my experiences have happened as I have written of them. Pieces of the Puzzle is a nonfiction series, except for a few fictitious names. There are also numerous persons and interviewees within my writings who share their own truths and unique experiences. – - Q4.mp3
Q: What is the premise of Volume 1 – Psychic Phenomena? A: That we are all naturally intuitive to some degree. That our innate psychic abilities can be recognized and enhanced at any stage of our life. That the supernatural or paranormal is more normal than many believe and that we can truly communicate with the supposed dead, with our spiritual family, friends, and loved ones in the spirit world. – - Q5.mp3
Q: What is the premise of Volume 2 – Our Reality? A: That we are the co-creators of our life and this shared reality. That we can create a better existence here for others and ourselves by first believing in the possibility and then, of course, by sharing our inherent gifts and creativity. – - Q6.mp3
Q: What is the premise of Volume 3 – The Afterlife and Infinite Beyond? A: That our existence is not finite. That when this life, this physical existence comes to its divine end, it is only the body that is discarded. The spirit of us or conscious self returns to whence it came. To reincarnate, to move closer to the source of life, or to do whatever our soul is drawn to do. – - Q7.mp3
Q: What is the premise of Volume 4 – Spirituality and Faith? A: That at the center of all we think, say, and do is our spirituality maturity and faith. That we are as spiritually mature as we wish to become, as only our conscious self can perhaps believe and perceive of ourselves to be. Can we change for the better? Yes, and I believe we must, as it appears to be our purpose in life. To be as we were meant to be, as evolving spiritual beings experiencing a valuable human existence. – - Q8.mp3
Q: What do you hope to accomplish with your writings? A: To help others realize more of their true self, own value and worth, inherent gifts and creativity, and most importantly, vital connections to self, others, and a divine force that moves through and around every living thing. To help others see the countless possibilities to their existence. To help others overcome any fear of lack, loss, inadequacy, or even death. To help others live truly happier, healthier, and more abundant or fulfilling lives. Simply to be of help by living in service to others through my writing, speaking, and in simply meeting and making a connection. – - Q9.mp3
Q: Do you think your book’s messages will actually do all that for readers? A: The messages were life transforming for me, but each will find what they are willing and able to receive. My prayer is that each will come away with at least a sense of wonder, hope, or personal peace. – - Q10.mp3
Q: What authors do you look to for your own inspiration? A: There are a great many insightful souls in and out of flesh and bone whose writings inspire me, those of the ascended masters, prophets, saints, and sages of our history, those of the not so distant past like Joel S. Goldsmith who wrote The Infinite Way (DeVorss & Co, 2006) and Helen Schucman who penned A Course in Miracles (Viking Penguin, 1996) as well as those spiritual authors of today, including but not limited to Chopra, Dyer, Hay, Walsch, and Williamson to name only some, but the greatest inspiration comes from within, from the source of divine wisdom and unconditional love. – - Q11.mp3
Q: What is your religion or faith base? A: I grew up in a Christian household, father Catholic and mother Baptist. I was baptized at a young age and at twenty married a man who was raised Catholic. Over the years, however, I have found a number of truths in various faiths from around the world. Each assures me that the importance lies not so much in identifying with the religion one is desirous of belonging, but instead with those spiritual practices of love and kindness it encourages us to live by. Love is the highest creed or conviction in which to follow or strive. – - Q12.mp3
Q: Are you at peace with yourself and are you fearful of death? A: Yes, I can most assuredly say that I am more at peace today than ever before in my life and no, I am not at all fearful of death, only curious. Through some divine awareness, I now know that this life has both meaning and purpose, that our existence is indeed continuous in an afterlife and infinite beyond, and that no one dies alone, as my spiritual family awaits my return. It is this knowing that brings me such personal peace. – - Q13.mp3
Q: Are there any anniversaries, occasions, or events upcoming to which we might tie the publicity for your book series? A: 2013 will be the 30 year anniversary of my first message from an intuitive counselor or psychic-medium. – - Q14.mp3
Q: Do you have a personal psychic-medium that you go to? A: No, but I have met countless psychic-mediums, many of which are spotlighted as guests on this blog.
Q: Is there any competition for your book? How are the other books alike? How are they dissimilar? A: There are countless books on the supernatural, our reality, the afterlife, spirituality and faith. This series is different from all others in that it contains the details of those experiences that were unique for me and those I have met throughout my spiritual adventure. It is my hope that readers will find their own truths to self and life, as they learn of both my own and all those I have interviewed. Each book brings the reader different perspectives and truths to our existence. – - Q15.mp3
Q: What was your inspiration for the book? A: The amazing power and presence of a wise and loving Spirit. – - Q16.mp3
Q: Tell us anything about you as a working writer that you think might be interesting or unusual. A: While writing the series, I could at times actually feel a pulsing sensation, an energy, or presence within, feel it in my head and finger tips, which I believed to be the presence of Spirit, similar to automatic writing. Yet, whenever I was not physically aware of it, the writing flowed just as easily. Know that Spirit is always with you, whether you are consciously aware or not. – - Q17.mp3
Q: What do you hope readers will learn/discover from reading your book? A: That each of us holds within us valuable pieces of the puzzle to our existence. Each of us has value and worth. Each life has both meaning and purpose or is essential to the larger community. Meet and make a connection with others to discover the same essence in all. Everyone has the potential to be happier, healthier, and wealthier. Everyone has the ability to be better than we are and to make this life one of true rewards. Be who you are meant to be by first discovering the true nature of your being and surely you will live a more fulfilling life. – - Q18.mp3. Another Blog Article: Living Your Best Life
