Life can bring you in different directions, sometimes every few years, and often sooner. Such has been the case for me. I continue to write, but haven't been marketing as much - focusing more on the writing itself for now. Marketing can come later.
I've begun a new, non-fiction project with an Animal Communicator friend of mine that has involved me becoming an illustrator, as well as a co-writer. More on that when the timing is right, but I have to say, I've also enjoyed designing the illustrations.
As well as being an author, for the last decade, I've worked as a massage therapist, reflexologist, and energy healer/Reiki master. Then in the last few years, 'life' has prompted me to start moving towards making some other changes. One of those is to recognize, embrace, and bring about my natural inclination, and desire, to work in channeling: mediumship, and also in animal communication. For those of you unfamiliar with either field, mediumship encompasses the ability of a person (channel) to interact/communicate with deceased loved ones on the Other Side. This has always come naturally to me, but has taken me until my later adult life to fully recognize as something I'm also meant to do. I've always received messages from Spirit, have always known that Spirit exists, and  have had fiction inspired by Spirit. So to take it to the next level, on a professional basis, is the right step for me to do.
Animal Communication is the ability of people and animals to converse telepathically. Telepathy is not 'science fiction' nor a skill gifted to only a chosen few. Everyone can communicate telepathically if they 'put their mind to it' (and yes, the pun is intended). Gut hunches are a form of intuitive communication, be they via sensations, sudden thoughts, or impulses/urges. 
All animals communicate telepathically, all the time. It is the normal way for them to converse with each other, with their humans, and with the world around them. They are natural energy-readers. Sometimes, for instance, we may feel 'prompted' to check our dog's water bowl suddenly as we look up and glance at our dog's face. We may think 'oh, I suddenly thought to check if he/she has enough water', when in fact, the dog has sent you a telepathic thought requesting more water. For the thought to 'appear suddenly' just like that is one instance of our mind/receiver having received the sent message.
It is up to humans to recognize that we are all telepathic beings. Telepathy knows no one language; it is a universal, spiritual mode of communicating which allows inter-species to communicate, as well as people to communicate with each other. How often have you suddenly received a thought about a loved one you haven't seen/spoken to for a while, only to get a phone call a short while later from them for a specific reason? Have you ever felt a sudden sensation of pain or unease in your own body, for no apparent reason, to later find out that a loved one had experienced an injury or illness at that precise moment? Again, this is an example of telepathic communication.
Not only can we communicate telepathically amongst ourselves and our animals, we can also communicate this way with our loved ones who have crossed over to the Other Side.  Now, I'm not here to challenge anyone's individual spiritual or religious beliefs; everyone is entitled to believe and follow what they feel works best for them and to disregard what they feel doesn't.
That said, I'm blogging about what works for me, what I've experienced over and over again as both a medium and an animal communicator, and the sheer joy it has brought to many people when, having no information on their loved one other than name, or a photo, I've been able to bring through, for the loved one on the Other Side, details of information that can be validated by their loved ones.
So it is with great excitement that I will soon have a new website offered that discusses my endeavors into the field of Spirit, as well as writing. I will keep you informed.
