I am honored to share some of my work and findings with Dr. Klaus Heinemann,Ph.D. co-author of The Orb Project. Dr. Heinemann and his wife, Gundi, have written a new book, "ORBS: Their Mission and Messages of Hope" for which they have so graciously allowed me to play a part.
What a joy to share ideas with Dr. Reece Manley while editing his book and writing the Foreword for "Crossing Twice: Answers from the Source." This book shares his near death experiences, and tells a story of recovery through cognitive therapy and spiritual applications for healing. Dr. Manley is a genuine, lovely person. Check-out his work on Amazon!

7 Days: Manifesting the Life You Want has a PUBLISHER!
"7 Days: Manifesting the Life You Want" Outline and sample chapters available and fully developed website with blog. This book is about targeting seven days to focus intense energy on manifesting your best for success.
"George Eliot Lives: A Strange Story of Synchronicity." Nonfiction. Full manuscript available. This book contains a fair amount of research on George Eliot.
"How Divine!" Memoir comparable to Jeannette Wall's Glass Castle,and the writing style is similar to Liz Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love. How Divine is laced with humor, blessed with spiritual grace, and pricked with a touch of the mystical for good measure. This would be a great read across several genres: memoir, women's non-fiction, and mind/body/spirit categories. How Divine tells the story of my life following my mother's death when I was nine months old. Against all odds, I made my way in life with a grief-stricken father, and a host of "Oz" characters who gave me more challenges than one book could hold! The ending is mystical and fantastic. You'll find it hard to believe, but it's absolutely true! (200 pages)
"Putting By: Gathering What Matters Most" is a collection of stories and poems straight out of the heartland of the US.
