Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I was born in the United Kingdom and began my career in fashion before moving to Australia. In Sydney, I went on to develop a successful business in the art world, co-founding art galleries and a successful art publishing company.
I began my journey in spirituality after attending a meditation class with a friend. I went on to train and qualify as an energy healer and spiritual teacher before I began to understand the incredible connection hidden within music and the spiritual energy of the world. I now interpret how to apply this life-changing knowledge in people’s favorite songs while completely transforming their understanding of music and its energy.
I’ve written 3 books: “Read my Song, Read my Heart, Read my Soul;” “Soul Music” and “How to Beat Criticism and Feel Good”
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I have 2 new books!
Soul Music has just been released. In this book I pin down the traits most common to people who share the same favorite song. Using psychic intuition, Soul Music is a unique book that reveals your strengths, weaknesses, and major issues while providing practical advice and life guidance.
It is a must have for every library and anyone even remotely interested in the dynamics of personality. While you study your profile you will find it hard to resist examining those of family and friends. Soul Music helps you to better understand yourself and celebrates our differences and similarities as human beings.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes, I like to meditate before I write and I also invoke my Spiritual guides to inspire me and write through me. I am just the channel :))
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I love good literature. My favorite book is ‘Disgrace” by J.M. Coetzee. I adore his clipped writing style. He had a badass writing style and writes to the point. He doesn’t mince his words and his style is in some ways shocking, just like his subject matter. I love the title too!
I love William Faulkner’s “The Sound and the Fury.” I also love the classics, such as “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee.
For nonfiction Noam Chomsky is a big influence of mine and also the writings and teachings from Paramahansa Yogananda.
What are you working on now?
I’m so excited! I’m writing the book which everyone has been asking for: CELEBRITY Soul Music!
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I love Email marketing as I am able to talk intimately with my readers. I love Awesomegang too and this site is a great help and support for me as an author:))
Do you have any advice for new authors?
For this, I will defer to 2 beautiful quotes from my book How to Beat Criticism and Feel Good
“Be yourself, everyone else is already taken.”
―Oscar Wilde
“Just don’t give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there’s love and inspiration, I don’t think you can go wrong.”
―Ella Fitzgerald
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
These’s too many to name! Love wholeheartedly, forgive easily, small the roses, give generously, be kind, laugh often, think good thoughts, realize that you are a part of the Divine whole, Soul union, meditate
and…know yourself…or as Osho says;
“Discover yourself, otherwise you have to depend on other people’s opinions who don’t know themselves.”
―Osho
What are you reading now?
I’m reading a little book which my partner Mick has just bought for me; ‘How to tell your story so the world listens’ by Bobette Buster
What’s next for you as a writer?
Oracle cards, I love how quotes and short sentences can have a profound effect on the reader :))
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Any book or teaching by Paramahansa Yogananda, The Bhagavad-Gita and a large blank yellow, full scrap writing pad to pen my next best seller :))
