Fiction

The Quirky Medium

Alison Wynne-Ryder

WINNER of the SILVER CERTIFICATE in the national Wishing Shelf Awards.
Alison is scared of ghosts - not the best qualification for a clairvoyant medium! But her exceptional psychic abilities and happy personality have brought her world-wide recognition, leading to her being chosen as co-host of the brilliant TV programme RESCUE MEDIUMS. In this, she puts herself in genuine danger, releasing trapped and often malevolent spirits. The Quirky Medium is her autobiography and was a finalist in The People's Book Prize.

Her websites are   http://thequirkymedium.blogspot.co.uk/ and http://discovertheangels.com/

Ann Bridge Davies

Born in Liverpool, UK, Ann  found that she could communicate with the spirit world as a young child, but was labelled “evil” by her local priest. She turned away from spirituality and, instead, become a qualified Art teacher and practising artist.


Everything changed when she was told by a respected medium that, indeed, she was a ‘spirit artist’, able to combine her natural talents in providing evidence of an afterlife. She then trained as a medium under the tutelage of the great Glyn Edwards, Gordon Higginson and Coral Polge, who acknowledged Ann as her successor.


It has been Ann's life's work to research and bring this unique and enigmatic canon of art to the world's eyes.

  The Art of Spirit

 
 
Aura Child

A I Kaymen

There is much talk about Indigo, star or rainbow children, supposedly born with unique spiritual gifts and 'higher consciousness'... Well, meet a real one! Aura Child tells the astonishing story of a girl growing up in a normal London family, able to see the energy fields of all living things and to read others' thoughts, and even to slip through time and converse with the spirits who had lived in the neighbourhood... but unable to share this with anyone else. Everyone called her a freak. A beautifully written debut book, full of humour.


A I Kaymen was born and raised in north London. She has degrees in Political Science and in Diplomacy, has travelled extensively and has worked as a statistician and analyst. She is also an amateur athlete and an artist.

 
Don't Rush to Heaven

Catherine Lowry

Catherine is a registered nurse with more than four decades' experience in the UK and the USA. Having learned a great deal about holistic nutrition and healthy food preparation, she then returned to her native Ireland and began a search for evidence of people who had survived their ‘incurable disease’ through adopting a better diet and lifestyle. She presents her case in straightforward language, arguing for a radically new approach to health.

She now works as a spiritual medium and artist, and her website is www.catherinelowry.ie

These extraordinary experiences are fully described in Extraordinary Things Happen to Ordinary People, her first book. Chris has two adult children and is an independent funeral celebrant.

Every day she would interact with the souls of the dying and their relatives come to help them pass over, as well as with spirit doctors... not to mention the Grey Lady and other resident hospital ghosts!

The Spirit of the Hedgerow

Jo Dunbar

WINNER OF THE LOCAL LEGEND SPIRITUAL WRITING COMPETITION

Jo has been practising as a medical herbalist since 1999 and is the founder of Botanica Medica Herbal Apothecary. It was through growing and collecting the herbs for her apothecaries that she developed a personal relationship with hedgerow plants and trees.

A Universal Guide to Happiness

Joanne Gregory

Joanne Gregory is an internationally acclaimed clairaudient medium with a world-wide celebrity contact list. Growing up in Sheffield, at first she ignored her evident psychic abilities, fearful of standing out from others. Even later, despite witnessing miracles daily, her life was difficult and she only seemed to attract people who were harmful to her. But then she began to learn the difference between the psychic and the spiritual, and her life turned round.


“My journey to date,” she says, “has been nothing short of amazing and I can’t keep it in any more. The wonderful, abundant, joyous, love-filled life that I now lead is available to everyone.” 


Joanne lives in Derbyshire, England.

Spinach Soup for the Walls

Lynne Harkes

Her book won the GOLD CERTIFICATE in the national Wishing Shelf Awards.

Lynne Harkes has lived in many wonderful and colourful places, from Nigeria to South America, from the Sultanate of Oman to the jungle of Gabon in West Africa. It was a life of expanded personal horizons, and Lynne describes graphically both the warmth of the native peoples and the magnificence of the landscape and animal world. But equally, the intensity of such a nomadic existence magnifies one’s personal challenges, and Lynne found herself retreating into unhappiness. The beautifully written Spinach Soup for the Walls is the story of how she rediscovered her own spirituality. In the end, she says, "It was simple: we must learn to see the beauty of nature and of our own everyday world, to recognise the remarkable in the ordinary." Lynne now works as an artist in her native Edinburgh.

One Pair Of Shoes

Mollie Peace

Mollie's book was a Finalist in the Wishing Shelf Awards.

Mollie Peace was a woman of her time, one of a generation that saw the most extraordinary changes. Born in poverty, she lived through the hardship of the early twentieth century, and experienced the tragedies of war. She witnessed the birth of the motor car, the atom bomb, the computer and the Internet. A loyal wife and mother, she raised a family and knew the joy of great-grandchildren. To have experienced all this was no ordinary life. But like so many other women of her time, she nurtured a private desire that was always denied her. She wanted to be a writer. That was her real identity and she was a talented poet. But there was no opportunity for her. Until now. One Pair of Shoes, a collection of poems and short stories, is both a tribute to her and an encouragement to everyone who believes in their own purpose and desires. Never give up. Your words will live on.

    The House of     Being
&
A Retiring Priest
Peter Walker

Peter Walker is a teacher, priest and poet. After graduating in French and Philosophy, he taught languages for many years. He has always written poetry, much influenced by both the natural world for the way it provides glimpses of the divine unity of all things, and by the ways in which human experiences are mediated by language.

 

Meanwhile, he trained for the priesthood and was ordained in the Church of England, presently serving in north Wales. Nonetheless, he loves red wine and strong coffee, the vibrancy of the inner city and the deserted shoreline at dawn, and the music of Muddy Waters and Vaughan Williams.


The House of Being won our national Spiritual Writing Competition in 2018, whilst A Retiring Priest charts his journey from 'there' to 'here' as he retired from the priesthood into family life.


Peter is married to Susie, with whom he has a daughter, Louise.



Odd Days of Heaven

&

Even More Days of Heaven

Sandra Bray


Sandra Bray has worked in industry and for the Royal Air Force and National Health Service. The loss of close family members then sparked an interest in complementary medicine, leading her to train in Reiki and other healing forms, whilst she also discovered a natural talent for the Tarot.


Sandra grew up in Cornwall, UK, and still lives there with her German Shepherd dog companion. She is inspired daily by the Cornish landscape and Celtic traditions.

The Narrow Doorway

Sandy Phillips

Sandy has written and painted for as long as she can remember, and along the way has also been an actor and teacher. Seeing the spirit world has gone hand in hand with everything she has done.


She had three major ambitions in life. One was to have a piece of art work exhibited at the Royal Academy and the second was to write a book. With The Narrow Doorway she has now achieved these two.


The third ambition is to be closer to a spiritual life.

 
Haunted by Past Lives

Sarah Truman

Sarah's partner Tom Bailey was a determined and enthusiastic character, a rugby player and speedway rider with his feet on the ground. But Tom also had a mystical side. In their thirteen years together before his untimely death, their lives were consumed by researching the truth of Tom's vivid dreams and psychic visions, which suggested they had lived together before - and that Sarah had murdered Tom! Sarah's writing is detailed and thoughtful, setting out the facts so that readers may judge for themselves... Have we all lived before?


Sarah is now a holistic therapist and Reiki healer and has returned to live in Lichfield, the city of her birth.
