I usually do not read bios. Reading and reviewing the books from my friends at the Shameless Self Promotions forum, as  well as the kind folks who ask me to read and review their works, which I consider an honor, as well as the 40 authors I follow, keeps me pretty busy with the thriller genre I love to read. I also am writing the novelization of my short story THIRST, which is on AD.  

   But I also am a student of the metaphysical - My early influences were Edgar Cayce, and Arthur Ford, now Kathleen Tucci -

So when made aware of this biography beautifully written by James N. Frey, I started reading the book when I received it and continued for about 80 pages. That is always a sign to me it's a winner of a book.

I am ashamed to say I'd not seen any of Ms. Martin's works, although have seen Ghost Hunters and Paranormal State, and the others on A&E and the Biography Channel and Discovery Channel. Perhaps some of the programs I have seen have had her cases - will be on the lookout from now on! I see she has been on also on Court TV and Nancy Grace.

Annette Martin knew she had a special gift - she always surrounded herself with the White Light of God when she slept. Her psychic abilities blossomed when she met her Spirit Guide - Cama -

She married and moved all over the world, and in those places, she helped people - as well as working with the FBI, police and others to help solve crimes, give details, and locate missing people (some dead).

Ms. Martin sometimes channels Edgar Cayce, whom I mentioned was a big influence of mine. She has worked with physicians to help pinpoint hard to find illnesses and she has also been tested under controlled circumstances.

She also is an accomplished opera singer and has sung all over the world.
What a bunch of talents combined in a petite pretty lady!

I felt a connection with Ms. Martin as I had been influenced by Edgar Cayce, and was interested in the charming Paramahansa Yogananda, as well as having metaphysical experiences myself. I also studied at a conservatory of music and am a classically trained singer, who always wanted to sing the Mad Scene from Lucia di Lammermoor!

Mr. Frey chronicles Ms. Martin's life and influences and we feel a knowledge of a truly gifted lady who knows the tremendous importance of encompassing yourself in the pure White Light of God.  We all should encompass ourselves in this White Light.

An amazing bio.
