I have been psychic for as long as I can remember but I became professional 28 years ago after having spent time in the Commercial world as a bi-lingual secretary, and P.A. One of my jobs was as a secretary in an 'Approved School' something that no longer exists but in those days, was a way of dealing with problematic children. My days at this establishment were the basis for the first book that I wrote called 'The Wild and the Wanton'. It was a cathartic experience for me and was the only job that I felt I had to walk away from.
After a period of ill health, I decided to give up my work and become a full time Clairvoyant. In the course of the next few years, I realised that I needed to know more about the workings of peoples' minds and I decided to do a diploma in Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy. This not only helped me to understand my clients needs more, it actually helped with some of my own demons.
As I became more deeply involved with my work, I was guided to write a small book about spiritualism and how it affects us all called 'Morning Has Broken'. I realise now that the book was written so quickly because it was Archangel Gabriel who was at my side during the writing of it.
I became more curious about the Universe and after a visit to Niagara Falls in Canada, I felt the need to pursue the angel theme in more depth. A young lady, to whom I shall be forever grateful, came to me for a reading and loaned me a book by Diana Cooper and I was completely hooked. It helped to understand much more clearly the path I was being steered towards. I understood the messages and the clues that the angelic realm leave for us in the hope that we will reach out to them. I also understood why it was that I had chosen certain genres of books to write. They dealt with peoples' emotions and then I invented my Detective, Ben Ombutula who had a black father and a white mother and with that came a mixture of Vodoo, Black magic and then the Pagan Wicca religion of his mother. He fights his adversaries with a combination of these gifts. He believes in the afterlife and he fights for justice and he makes many references to Archangel Michael and his mighty sword.
I am at the moment in the middle of trying to finish two more Ben Ombutula books but Archangel Michael decided that he also wants these workshops to begin so that the angels can reach out to humanity. They so desperately want to help us but we have to learn to ask. Michael has a wonderful sense of humour and has made it known that he can do other things than just supplying 'parking spaces'.
Since moving to Lanzarote, I have enjoyed the different events that have been brought to the island by myself and other people and definitely, the island is full of magic and spirituality. A couple of years ago, I had the experience of my Kundalini charka kicking in (or so I was told) and I have certainly been different since that day. I also write the Horoscope for the Island Gazette and I find that much of this is universally passed to me.
