In an effort to get The Gift of the Seer into as many hands as possible, I have recently updated my Events page with some of the exciting places I’ll be going in 2019, so if you would like to have a chance to have your book personally signed by me, this could be your…

Now that The Gift of the Seer is available worldwide, I must take this opportunity to thank all the people who wrote encouraging emails to me over the last five years.  It’s taken me so long to get to this point, and I simply cannot tell you all how much I appreciate your patience.  I…
