Having grown up with a mother who consulted her tarot cards on a weekly basis, and who would frequently sense an other-worldly presence, it has always been perfectly natural for me to assume that there is more to this life than meets the eye. I have even experienced a few mysterious encounters myself. But it was only when I suffered the loss of a loved one that I started to question the possibility of life after death, and decided to find out more.
And so began a fascinating quest, where I met 'ordinary' people who claimed to have experienced the extraordinary. This is where I found the inspiration for my debut novel, 'Out of the Darkness'.

Growing up, my mother used to see misty spirit shapes and read the tarot cards, so that is probably no surprise. But it was after the death of a loved one that I felt that I needed to find out more, and so I started to visit clairvoyants and spiritual mediums where I live in Hertfordshire and also in London. It was after going to an evening of clairvoyance locally with two female friends that the idea for 'Out of the Darkness' struck me. Not only because of the fascinating messages I'd seen passed on from the medium to people gathered in the small audience, but also because of the power of the support and friendship between we three women. We had each experienced our own heartache and deep loss, and yet were there for one another no matter what. And we were all in this slightly bizarre situation, hoping beyond hope to get a message from a totally ordinary-looking person who was apparently speaking with the dead! It was as we walked arm in arm away from the pub later that night, looking up into the clear winter sky, that I felt there was a story in there that I wanted to write and share. And that's how 'Out of the Darkness' was born!(less)

Katy Hogan liked Angela Holland's review of Out of the Darkness: A tale of love, loss and life after death: "beautifully written and evokes so much emotion. This book really does inspire hope and ofc, a reminder that goodbyes of the physical do not transcend to the mental. Ultimately, you carry ones legacy through memory and the connection of the soul. "
