It’s not often that two books written by the same author, when they are totally different genres, can be combined into one collection.
Touched By The Light is a fun, romantic read. Is it possible to fix someone’s relationship from the other side of life? Well, Mya feels she’s been given the task to do just that after ‘following the light’. What ensues is little short of mayhem at times and you will see the story from the perspectives of several of the main characters. This was quite an important aspect when telling the story as Mya tries to make sense out of her new form of existence. Whilst it is purely fictional, it does contain elements that will make you wonder and some of the paranormal experiences in the book are based on things that I have myself experienced.
So that links nicely into Being A Sceptic Is Oh So Easy. This is really a ‘sort of’ diary of things that have happened to me since early childhood. For most of my life I acknowledged things I felt I had really seen, or experienced, but I filed them away ‘in the attic of my mind’. Some things are better not explored. Then my husband and I had a shared experience. Oh dear, dilemma. Then another. Then we began actually talking about it and it coincided with a time in my life when suddenly it all seemed to start making some sense. This isn’t a heavy read, it’s very personal as some of the incidents are related to the loss of loved ones, some are experiences in some of the houses I’ve owned or visited. I also talk about deja vu, coincidences, luck – things that I now believe tie in to my overall acceptance that life after death is real. I really believe that no one can ‘convince’ anyone and that people searching for ‘proof’ are entirely missing the point. If – and then when – you are ready to open your eyes you will receive all the proof you need. Our loved ones are there by our side, we just need to listen to them!
So two books become one collection and I hope readers really do enjoy a light, uplifting and, at times, thought-provoking read that will also entertain. Thank you for dropping by and please do get in touch if you want to share your own experiences me with!

PS I’ve also included two chapters from my next novel, Never Alone. It’s another psychic romance with a very different twist! It will be released in 2013.
