I developed an interest in writing shortly after my brother Murray died unexpectly. When he began sending me undeniable physical signs and communicating with me telepathically, I knew I had to share my story. I felt his energy close by, gently pushing me as I toyed with the idea of writing a book and finding a publisher. It was his voice that prompted me along as I wrote our story. Murray supported and guided me as I searched for three years to find a publisher. His message never wavered as he told me over and over that a publishing deal was imminent. In February of this year, much to my delight, I signed a contract with O Books to publish my manuscript. My brother shares my enthuisiasm. I've come to see that those on the other side are eager to let their physically based loved ones know that life continues on after death. My book Poppies From Heaven...and Other Signs From the Hereafter will be published in January 2011. I've always been an avid spiritual seeker. I spent many years as a professional tarot-card reader and believe this helped to hone my ability to successfully communicate with my brother following his physical death. My career forays have also included, singer/songwriter and artist. My favorite paintings feature my brother from his position in spirit. I've recently developed a website where I share my perspective on all subjects metaphysical and spiritual. It is through this avenue that I am truly finding my passion for writing and expanding it to new heights.
