Can you share with us a quirk or something quirky about you?
A quirky thing about me is that as much as I have and do work with Astrology. I have had many "unique" experiences with past life regressions and psychics, at many levels I question and take the point of view of the skeptic. So I keep on digging and I continue to be surprised by how accurately psychics predict what happens to me.
Very interesting concept for this book. Intrigue in highly political times like those of the days leading up to the second world war are always very fascinating. One would expect that Bill was likely one of the five casualties from that BA flight in 1939. If Bill is 30 years old, then there was perhaps forty years between his old life and his new one. Is there a certain length of time a soul could wait before it comes back for another life?
I am far from an authority on the subject in my humble opinion it may vary. I know there are philosophies that believe a soul immidiatelyseeks a host and there was a popular movie in the 1990s called little Buddah that had a very interesting premise where the soul found three immidiate hosts. It certainly is fun to wonder, Isn't it?
The Past life regressions for Bill are documented and they were experienced by a subject who today wishes to remain anonymous. In the regressions the subject saw himself as the Pilot. The subject approached me after a visit to a psychic I never met told him that he needed to know that in his most recent past life he had been a Pilot. In this life the subject never suffered from the phobias oe nightmares I gave Bill and to my knowledge has no interest in being a pilot. The gap between the death of the actual Pilot and the birth of the subject in question is that of a few months.
In many of the well documented books by reputable sources parallel lives that overlap are discussed. I personally found that to be verydifficult to believe and yet I have recently had two regressions where I experienced this. I am personally still trying to understand the possibility. I must say the regressions were so detailed and felt so true that I find myself exploring something I would have discounted as impossible in the not too distant past.
These five reported casualties were likely far from being simply ordinary people in the wrong place at the wrong time. Could they be revealed to be more than five simple casualties? And this sole survivor I'm certain couldn't have just been a pilot. I imagine that the historical intrigue begins long before the doomed flight crashes.
In 1939 air travel was limited to very few elites. The very Prime Minister of England at the time Neville Chamberlain flew for the very first time in September 1938 to meet Hitler and sign the Munich Pact. I was trying to answer this without a spoiler and so I'll just state that in 1939, no-one was "just" who they seemed to be. The intrigue, as the reader explores the lives of these five men do leave plenty of room to wonder.
There couldn't have been very much information left by the on-scene investigators of the crash. Eighteen years of searching through resources would be harrowing. How ever did you find any of this information, and could you give us an idea of where you found your sources?
In the Danish National archives there are still actual pieces of the plane and materials that were tested for flammable substances in sealed bags. Again not to spoil for any would be readers, the most reputable Danish investigator left a trail that showed he was not satisfied with some of the findings. I found many of the people and archives with the help of all these wonderful archivists who came up with ideas and suggested where I might look. There were many places where the report should have been filed and was not found. Sometimes I just got really lucky.
From my perspective at the age of 52 I do not see 18 years as that long. I see my 13 year old son and it feels like I gave birth yesterday. If something is important enough why have a time limit?
Even now, especially with the sources we have on the Internet, it can be difficult to determine if the information you receive is true or false. How are you able to verify the information that you glean? You must be a fabulous judge of character.
I believe that it is far more difficult to trust information on the internet than in actual archives. In archives everything is signed and official and people took responsibility for what they wrote. I was able to interview a man who wrote one of the letters from Lockheed, the manufacturer of the Lockheed Electra 10A . He explained what he remembered and said emphatically that he only wrote what he knew to be true.
The Engineers who disagreed with the fire expert did so politely and explained that as much as the gentleman knew about fires he did not know a thing about aircraft.
Also trying to avoid spoilers the fire expert was appointed by the newly formed secret police and the most seasoned Danish investigator left a trail of evidence that shone a light on doubt.
I am not so sure about the judge of character. I think I can be fooled as well as the next guy or gal.
I can see the likely cause of the mystery in The Bridge of Deaths as the crash and how it relates to young Bill's current traumatic nightmares. Can you say where he finds love in this? Or if the love story has even anything to do with Bill?
If you mean the subject (let's call him the 'real Bill') that had the past life regressions, to my knowledge he has not found a "soulmate" from a past life.
I created the love interest out of thin air, and I explain in the introduction how I came up with the idea. The quirky, wierd thing was that I created a character called Maggie and the woman she represents was indeed a Margaret. As the 'real Bill' became very detached from the story I decided to make the one in the story a complete skeptic, which the real one is not, he is simply very private. As such I needed someone motivated and I think we can all agree that love is a very motivating energy that helps any and all of us to achieve our goals.
Again the 'real Bill' has never suffered from any nightmares or phobias, those are all my creation and tapping a little on my very own personal experiences, not in the least related to the crash of the G-AESY.
I'm curious also as to how a British passenger plane crashes in Danish waters ends up relating back to the United States. Were the Americans heavily involved in the political intrigue of the times before the war had even started in Europe?
The airplane a Lockheed Electra 10A was built in the USA. Two of the passengers were representing the American company Standard Oil of New Jersey. My grandfather was a Mexican citizen but he attended Texas A & M University as well as Columbia University in New York. The story however does have a strong European angle and as Anthony Crossley the British M.P. on board was known as the sole voice for The Arab cause during the discussions for the Palestinian Territories the story is pretty global.
Author Questions
You've mentioned that by nature you are very skeptical. And also mentioned that you would not work with any psychics who asked for information other than your date of birth. How is it that you came to write a book about past life phenomena and still retain that skepticism, especially after your accident that was predicted by the first fortune teller you encountered?
I have noticed how often people distort the past. I think the best example is in politics! I feel that I tend to have very accurate memories and yet I wonder if I distort the past as I observe others do.
I recently had a very interesting reading and I was amazed as the psychic in question Beckah Boyd of New Hampshire was so accurate about matters that I do not discuss on-line and I found myself saying something really foolish such as "How did you know?" It was aSkype reading and I could see her expression, it was a nice expression that clearly said "I am psychic."
My skeptisism comes from how much there is out there, and how the further you dig the more complex the philosophies become. Also there are very fake psychics out there. If they need to ask too many questions, then they are just like a friend giving you advice, while being privy to the facts.
One of the psychics who helped me with The Bridge of Deaths; Rosella Call without asking a single question said to me on our first encounter "Your son cannot get near milk" I was already aware that he was super allergic to all dairy products, I carried an epi-pen Jr. and had already experienced a scary visit to the ER, with my son bloating like a balloon. That is a psychic, one that can tell you with out asking.
You are very well travelled. Have you found an area of the world where there are better psychics?
I do not travel in search of psychics! But that would be an amazing and fun book to research. I have encountered many people of different countries who assure me the best and majority are found in their land!
I have a feeling that some of the best psychics avoid working as psychics. I find it so refreshing that all cultures have means of divination in common, and I hope that will be one of the factors that unites us as global citizens. Here in florida we have an entire town Cassadaga, I have never been there personally, but I bet it is really fun.
Can you divulge more about how one would be able to have a past life regression?
I have personally had both private and group past life regressions. All have taken place in Florida. I highly recommend anyone who is interested to look for group regressions in their area, they are inexpensive and is a good gateway into hypnosis. If something in particular wants to be explored then invest on a private session, but I recommend a few group sessions before anyone plunges into private. You can probably look up Hypnotherapists in your area or country.
Perhaps read a good book, such as Many Lives , Many Masters or Other Lives Other Selves. The process starts by relaxing you and letting you drift deeper, down a staircase or through a tunnel. Again as a skeptic, how much is your imagination, and many do question that.
I personally had a very strong physical reaction to a regression as an Aztec, and I was so baffled that people could guess where I was from, I was not used to it at all. I am very tall, left Mexico very young and grew up surrounded by people of so many different Spanish speaking countries that my Spanish was simply neutral. To this day I have a very marked Mexican accent when I speak Spanish.
But some of the things I have 'seen' in my regressions I do question.
When you mention that you used psychometry to help you through times when you felt blocked I'm curious about the objects you would hold. Was there something special or peculiar about them? Did the objects belong to either yourself or the psychics, or were they even antiques from England or Denmark?
After the crash my grandmother was sent "personal effects" amongst them were two damaged watches. A monogramed one we knew to be my grandfather's and another we had no idea who this belonged to. The latter was very severely damaged by fire. Every psychic that held the watches told a similar tale and described the owner of the severely burnt watch in a description fitting a corpse that hadseverly burnt hands and wrists.
From what I've read on your site, you were very close to one of the people your characters were based on. Would you like to share any more on this? I'd love to know more about how we can choose where we'll be born next and how we can influence our next lives.
I researched all of this because it was the story of my grandfather's death. There is a lot of fact I often wonder if we choose or have to accept the Karma we have earned. Maybe the love that binds us creates the possibility to go back to those we love.
What is next for you and The Bridges of Death?
I am working with a co-author Jolie De Marco she is a clairvoyant and a healer. Our book 4covert2overt is far more paranormal than historical. It has an interesting premise and it is an easy fun read. We hope to be finished in a few months I really love the characters we are working with.
