Born in Liverpool, UK, Ann found that she could communicate with the spirit world as a young child, but was labelled “evil” by her local priest. She turned away from spirituality and, instead, become a qualified Art teacher and practising artist.

Everything changed when she was told by a respected medium that, indeed, she was a ‘spirit artist’, able to combine her natural talents in providing evidence of an afterlife. She then trained as a medium under the tutelage of the great Glyn Edwards, Gordon Higginson and Coral Polge, who acknowledged Ann as her successor.

It has been Ann’s life’s work to research and bring this unique and enigmatic canon of art to the world’s eyes.

Joanne Gregory is an internationally acclaimed clairaudient medium with a world-wide celebrity contact list. Growing up in Sheffield, at first she ignored her evident psychic abilities, fearful of standing out from others. Even later, despite witnessing miracles daily, her life was difficult and she only seemed to attract people who were harmful to her. But then she began to learn the difference between the psychic and the spiritual, and her life turned round.

“My journey to date,” she says, “has been nothing short of amazing and I can’t keep it in any more. The wonderful, abundant, joyous, love-filled life that I now lead is available to everyone.”

Joanne lives in Derbyshire, England.

Judy was healed of her own claustrophobia in just one session of regression therapy, in which she found herself living, and dying, in ancient Egypt. A professional hypnotherapist, she then set about learning these techniques herself helping many thousands of clients overcome the phobias, fears and emotional issues that have been undermining their wellbeing. 

Her mantra was, “Find the root cause. Resolve it at source. Move on with your life.”

Very sadly, Judy passed away in 2026 but asked us to keep her book in print. We are pleased to do so because it is a powerful contribution to our understanding of human consciousness.

Mollie Peace was a woman of her time, one of a generation that saw the most extraordinary changes. Born in poverty, she lived through the hardship of the early twentieth century, and experienced the tragedies of war. She witnessed the birth of the motor car, the atom bomb, the computer and the Internet. A loyal wife and mother, she raised a family and knew the joy of great-grandchildren. To have experienced all this was no ordinary life. But like so many other women of her time, she nurtured a private desire that was always denied her. She wanted to be a writer. That was her real identity and she was a talented poet. But there was no opportunity for her. Until now. One Pair of Shoes, a collection of poems and short stories, is both a tribute to her and an encouragement to everyone who believes in their own purpose and desires. Never give up. Your words will live on.

Peter Walker is a teacher, priest and poet. After graduating in French and Philosophy, he taught languages for many years. He has always written poetry, much influenced by both the natural world for the way it provides glimpses of the divine unity of all things, and by the ways in which human experiences are mediated by language.

Meanwhile, he trained for the priesthood and was ordained in the Church of England, presently serving in north Wales. Nonetheless, he loves red wine and strong coffee, the vibrancy of the inner city and the deserted shoreline at dawn, and the music of Muddy Waters and Vaughan Williams.

The House of Being won our national Spiritual Writing Competition in 2018, whilst A Retiring Priest charts his journey from ‘there’ to ‘here’ as he retired from the priesthood into family life.

Peter is married to Susie, with whom he has a daughter, Louise.

Phill is an actor, author, life coach and spiritual teacher. After travelling the world and working with many film and TV stars, a devastating bereavement sent his life down a very different path of spiritual investigation and personal development. Eventually he set up his own consultancy practice, helping thousands of clients to “demystify the mystical”.

Yet, despite all his experience, this new book came as a surprise. While acting in a film production abroad, out of the blue he found himself having a dialogue with an other-worldly Soul Being that was infinitely wise and seemed to have many of the answers to life’s deeper questions.

This was not, Phill clearly knew, his own voice so he set about faithfully recording everything he received. The result is an astonishing, powerful book that clearly won the national Spiritual Writing Competition.

Phill lives with his partner in south-west London.

But she has also always been able to see and communicate with the spirit world, enabling her to know some of the history and character of buildings.

Looking for ways in which she could use her gifts to help others, she developed the skills to clear properties of any residual negative energies (and unwanted spiritual entities!) so that their occupants could live peacefully or sell their property more easily.

Sandy has written and painted for as long as she can remember, and along the way has also been an actor and teacher. Seeing the spirit world has gone hand in hand with everything she has done.

The third ambition is to be closer to a spiritual life.

Sarah’s partner Tom Bailey was a determined and enthusiastic character, a rugby player and speedway rider with his feet on the ground. But Tom also had a mystical side. In their thirteen years together before his untimely death, their lives were consumed by researching the truth of Tom’s vivid dreams and psychic visions, which suggested they had lived together before – and that Sarah had murdered Tom! Sarah’s writing is detailed and thoughtful, setting out the facts so that readers may judge for themselves… Have we all lived before?

Sarah is now a holistic therapist and Reiki healer and has returned to live in Lichfield, the city of her birth.
