My journey as an author has been one of discovery, where each book seemed to uncover itself as I progressed. It began with Death and Back, born from my own near-death experience. That profound moment changed everything for me?it opened my eyes to the mysteries beyond this life on Earth. I wanted to share not only the comfort and reassurance I found but also the deeper understanding I gained about the individuals journey and life after death. It wasn't just my story?it became a way to explore my existence and offer insight to others navigating life's most profound transitions.
As I delved deeper, the ideas from Death and Back naturally led me to write Spirituality Not Religion. I became fascinated by the intersection of science and spirituality, particularly through the study of biophotons and the enduring symbols of human-formed light found in ancient art. This book was about connecting the dots?between relics like the Shroud of Turin, biblical texts, and our ancient past. It was a journey to understand how spirituality, far from being fragile, has persisted and grown stronger through adversity. I wanted readers to see how our eternal spirit resonates across time, uniting science and faith in a picture framed with wonder.
From there, I found myself drawn to Christianity and Reincarnation, where I explored the early Church's recognition of reincarnation and how it was later suppressed. This book was deeply personal to me?an opportunity to examine how history, theology, and politics shaped beliefs and to shine a light on the spiritual truths that have endured despite efforts to erase them. It was my way of inviting readers to rethink what they thought they knew about faith, sparking meaningful conversations about the lost teachings of Christianity.
Finally, Family Found: The DNA Journey brought me back to my own story. As an adoptee, genealogy and DNA testing were my tools to uncover truths about identity and family. This book tied everything together for me?truth, discovery, resilience, and connection. It mirrored the themes I had explored in my other works, but in the deeply personal realm of belonging and the search for self.
Each book has been a step along this incredible journey, fueled by my curiosity and a desire to share what I've learned. I never set out to write these books with a master plan?they revealed themselves to me as I followed the threads of inspiration and discovery.
