About the author
Toby Heathcotte
17 books17 followersAt the age of seven, Toby lost her best friend in a car accident. Three months later, Marcia peeked over a cloud and said she liked her new world. Toby’s family dismissed the episode as mere imagination, and she grew up distrusting her own perceptions.
Unable to reconcile this and other psychic experiences, such as precognitive dreams and seeing astral forms of living people, she became a lifelong student of the paranormal. Her personal library contains over four decades of volumes from Bridey Murphy and J. B. Rhine in the Sixties to current studies by the Institute of Noetic Sciences and the American Society for Psychical Research. Her dream journals span the same time period and serve as resources for her life and work.
Repeated psychic experiences forced Toby to learn some coping strategies. She sat in development groups and experimented with techniques like psychometry, automatic writing, and dream analysis. As she came to a peace about her nature, she wanted to share what she’d learned to help others end mistakes, self-doubt, and concerns about their sanity.
Toby taught high school speech and drama and college English. Now her primary interests rest in understanding her psychic abilities and writing projects that incorporate that learning. A mother of two and grandmother of three, Toby lives in Arizona where she serves as president of Arizona Authors Association.

Thoughtful, thorough and kind
"Program Building" doesn't really talk about how to GROW a drama department, but it does provide a wealth of no nonsense advice about day to day management of very practical matters. Most importantly, the author does so with a cheerful tone, laced with dry humor that acknowledges the challenges while implying complete confidence that you, too, can manage a high school drama program.
