When you’re working on a project that’s divinely guided, and you’re listening to your inner voice, you learn that you have to be patient.  Sometimes, the best things take time and can benefit from believing in the value of divine timing.  That’s my belief, and I’m happy to let you know that my book, The Gift Within Us: Intuition, Spirituality and the Power of Our Own Inner Voice will finally be available in 2020.

It’s been a long road to say the least, but as long as you’re on the right path with the right people, time doesn’t matter. And I have had the great fortune to meet, work with and interview some of the most gifted and wonderful individuals I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. So I’m happy to announce that the book will be launched in the spring of next year, and that it will also be available for pre-orders in the coming weeks — I’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, thank you for your patience and continued support along the way — it’s meant everything to me and to the others who’ve been involved in this project!

A recent survey by the Pew Research Center has found that the number of people who are spiritual seekers is on the rise.  According to the study, the share of people who identify as spiritual and who feel a “deep sense of wonder about the universe” has increased dramatically in the past ten years.  Although there has been a decline in the number of people who follow traditional religion, the number of individuals who are spiritual but are “unaffiliated” with traditional religion is growing steadily, particularly among younger people.

Many of these spiritual seekers have deep questions, such as “What is my purpose?  Where will I go after I die?  How can I connect with the divine?”  In my book, I’ve interviewed scientists and academicians who are studying “psi,” as well as 33 highly gifted intuitives, to find the answers to those questions, and more.  Here’s a link to the Pew Research Center survey: https://pewrsr.ch/1FhDslC

One of the brave paranormal researchers that I interviewed for my book, Dean Radin PhD, chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), has recently released his new book, Real Magic.  In the book, Dean provides an overview of the history of magic, and then explains how “scientifically informed magic” will “play a key role in exploring the frontiers of sciencc.”  Here’s a link to Dean’s website which has more information about his new book:  http://www.deanradin.org/

I was recently interviewed on a wonderful radio show called “Conscious Talk Radio” with host Brenda Michaels and Rob Spears.  We talked about by book, intuition and the power of our own inner voice during the one hour interview, which was broadcast across the country.  I also invited one of the “Brave Paranormal Explorers” that I feature in my book, Dr. Gary Schwartz, to be interviewed on the show as well. It was a lively and informative show, and Brenda and Rob asked interesting and insightful questions about both my book and Gary’s paranormal research.  Here’s a link to hear the interview:  https://bit.ly/2GT7wX6

According to an article in the Huffington Post, the publishing world is embracing the “mind, body, spirit” category more than ever.  New imprints like HarperElixer, Reveal Books and others are interested in appealing to spiritual “seekers” — people who are looking for answers to life’s questions but are not necessarily connected to a traditional religious group.  Here’s a link to the story: https://bit.ly/2saqhzN

As Claudia Boutote, senior vice president and publisher at HarperElixer, states in the story, “A couple of years ago, [HarperOne] started to see that all of a sudden there was a new burgeoning of seekers that was bubbling up. … We felt we’d be able to contribute to that contemporary conversation.” This is good news for those of us who are writing about spirituality and hoping to shed some light on intuition, consciousness and the value of accessing divine guidance.
