Author Interview with John Anthony: Altered Light

Interview with medium and spiritual awareness coach John Anthony, author of recently published paperback and ebook “Altered Light”

John Anthony

How long have you been aware of Altered Light?
I have been working within it for a long time but without realizing its true nature. When my inspirer who I call Spirit of Anthony first made himself known to me the room was filled with an extraordinary light. It was intensely bright but not glaring, so the people in the room could see it without shielding their eyes. The work I have done as a medium and spiritual awareness coach over many years since that time has all been done within Altered Light. Spirit of Anthony sent “Al” to me to give me the words for a book which would help me understand better. And of course I have published those words for everyone to share. Spirit of Anthony and Al offer infinite and unconditional love. What they have to give is for everyone who is happy to open their heart and transform their way of seeing the world.

Why do you feel you had to write "Altered Light"?
Altered Light was inspired by my connection to the spiritual being called Al. I have worked as a medium for a lot of years and thought I was retiring to the quiet of Berkshire (in southern England). As it turned out after a spell in the cardiac care unit at the county hospital, I was destined to carry on my work in a different way. Now I’m back running a spiritual development group and offering Angel Lives Readings to people from my AlteredLight.co.uk website. And of course I’m busy writing more books in the “Al” series. It never ceases to amaze me how things work out – thanks to spirit and those splendid people at the hospital.

Do you ever experience writer's block, and how do you overcome it?
I suppose I do get writer’s block but I call it loss of connection. As all my writing is inspired I have to be “in the zone” to get the work done. Truthfully I write like mad on some days and do none at all on others. I need to go away and do other ordinary things like go shopping with my wife or do jobs around the house. Or read a book of course. Then I get back in the mind-set to write.

What advice would you give to aspiring writers?
I don’t really feel qualified to advise other writers. But what I will say is “be true to yourself.” I think everyone has something to offer the world. It’s important to write and publish what you feel and what you need to express. It doesn’t matter if it is fiction or non-fiction, speak from the heart. So many people believe their voice is not worth hearing. That is not so, our world needs your input. I think it was the British MP Edmund Burke who wisely said - "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." It’s up to us all to make the world a better place.

If your book was made into a movie, who would play each role?
Altered Light isn’t really a story in that sense but I certainly like the idea of making it into one. The thought of a screenplay for a drama is marvelous. To play me I think I’d like Michael Kitchen, the British actor who is well known for Foyle’s War. He has done a lot of other good work over the years and is very believable. As to the principal character Al, he has a kind of cheeky vigor about him despite his lofty angelic status. I think Martin Shaw, known for TV’s Judge John Deed and George Gently, would be good. He has great compassion and depth, a superb actor. If Altered Light were made into a drama there would be a role for a strong down to earth yet spiritual woman. Without doubt I would want Maxine Peake, known best as Martha Costello in the BBC TV series Silk, to play her. She is quite wonderful.

What books do you read yourself? Have you any favorites?
I read a lot of books on spirituality, psychology and the mind. Then I have periods when I’m into novels. In the early days of becoming spiritually aware I found actress Shirley MacLaine’s books leaping off shelves at me. In more recent times I’ve read novels by people like Kazuo Ishiguro, Sebastian Barry, Simon Van Booy, Tom Bradby and Niall Williams. One book I loved from a few years ago was “Miss Smilla’s Feeling for Snow” by Peter Hoeg. I thought that was outstanding although the film adaptation was terrible. If I have a favorite novel it has to be Anton Myrer’s “The Last Convertible”. It is the story of a group of young Americans going through college and World War Two. The characterization and storytelling is exceptional and it is set in my favorite time period with swing band accompaniment. That’s the book I’d take to my desert island.

What kind of music do you like?
I was brought up with lots of music around me because my father was a pianist in a dance band. The swing era bands like Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Harry James, Fletcher Henderson and Duke Ellington were the backdrop to my childhood. The other big influence was blues and gospel as I would listen a lot to American Forces Network radio. Then later came the time of Buddy Holly and Bob Dylan and of course The Beatles. In the years since becoming spiritually aware my taste has shifted. I listen to Van Morrison, Enya, Lisa Gerrard, Renee Fleming, Christie Moore, Bjork, Arvo Part. The list is quite long.

Author Interview with Collette Sinclaire: The Real Book of the Dead

A Conversation with Collette Sinclaire,

Author of "The Real Book of the Dead"



Featured Author, Collette Sinclaire
"The Real Book of the Dead"

Why do you feel you had to write The Real Book of the Dead?
I didn’t write the book. The spirits did. It’s their life and death stories. The Real Book of the Dead really is a book by the dead for the living.

By dead, do you really mean DEAD?
Yes, I really mean dead. As a psychic medium, every single article, every word and chapter is the personal story of not only a deceased person’s life, but their death. The Real Book of the Dead details exactly what each person experienced when they died, how they died and what came next as they crossed over.

So, what really happens when we die?
It all depends. I’ve interviewed over 500 souls in developing the books. What Happens to Bad People When They Die will be out soon, detailing exactly what it is that happens and why it’s important for people who have been through difficult times to know that there is a certain sort of cosmic justice.

What happens to good people when they die?
Each person’s experience of death is different. What one person experiences and finds true, another person will develop and interrupt differently. This is what makes their life and death stories so compelling. Each life and death is so deeply different and personal.

Are there any that stand out in particular for you?
There are sweet stories of unending love and harrowing stories of violent murders. I like to carry the lighter ones, but this doesn’t mean that I’m not haunted by the darker ones. I actually experience what the victim experiences. I experience the duct tape over the mouth. Struggling against the rope, the piercing of the knife as it goes through the skin. Without getting too graphic, it’s safe to say that I’ve died or at least had the experience of dying many, many times.

With that in mind, how do you let go of the violent death experiences that you have had?
I meditate and ask my spirit guides for help. I’m naturally a very grounded person. Having seven kids will do to you, but I’m thankful for how the experience of seeing the world through someone else’s eyes but also their death has changed me. I think about intention and positivity much more.

Synopsis:

*Warning – Due to the Violent and Graphic Nature of some of the Deaths, including harrowing Murders and tragic Suicides, this book may not be suitable for all ages.*

WHAT REALLY HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE?

Acclaimed Psychic Medium Collette Sinclaire spent 5 years interviewing spirits who have crossed over.

The Real Book of the Dead allows you to be with the dead as they relive their final moments of life through Murder, Suicide, Drug Overdoses, Auto Accidents and more. Their riveting accounts brings comfort even in the darkest hours that life does indeed go on after death.

Meet Joe’s Wife, a widower visited by her spirit guide who gives her the strength and comfort to fight Breast Cancer and begin a new life. Meet Florence, caught in bed with another man, who was brutally raped and savagely beaten to death by her lover

After reading their life and death stories, you may never be the same. The comfort, wisdom and the eternal answers to questions which we all seek are finally, stunningly revealed.

These are genuine life and death stories of real people. As a medium and channel, Collette Sinclaire has brought their life stories and information forward for you. These are the honest and heartfelt narratives of lives lost, loves lost, opportunities taken and opportunities missed. You will read about great achievement and great heartbreak. You will learn some of the reasons why we are here, what it feels like to die and what awaits us on the other side.

Collette has endured the difficult process of being the conduit for these souls to be able to tell their personal and often difficult tales of life and death, to be presented here. They have been related through her for all of us to better understand why we are here and that we are all the same underneath. That what we are all looking for is basically the same, but rarely do we recognize our deep inner need for happiness through fulfillment of our soul's true calling; that is, those things which we seem to hear from our conscience, or that "inner voice" that spurs you to follow your dreams and your heart.

This book is the culmination of many years of interviews with the dead. These chronicles of lives lived, though sometimes sorrowful, are not meant to sadden you, but to light the way to understanding. It is each soul's hope that by learning from their own life lessons - both from lessons they had successfully completed as well as those that they had failed - that you will find the way to a more contented life as well as a more powerful and happier self.

These are not words to entertain or sway you. They are simply the words of lives once lived and what happened to these souls and what they experienced when they died. Some may strike a chord with you. Some may make your heart soar and others may make your heart sink, but they are all important in their own way. You may even recognize the voice of a departed soul as being similar to your own and in the process, find out why you are here yourself.

If you have lost someone or are going through difficult times yourself, perhaps the information in these interviews can bring you understanding and comfort into your own life when you need it most.
