<p>Do angels, ghosts and demons really exist, or are they a figment of our over active imagination? Can ghosts, demons and spirits harm you? If you don't believe in them they can't bother you right? How can you protect yourself against the paranormal? Do we live once and it's all over or do we come back time and again to live new lives? In this book, you will gain information about the paranormal from a psychic-mediums perspective. As a psychic medium I have gathered a lot of information about the other side. The book covers over more than 40 years of paranormal related information interspersed with my own personal paranormal encounters. Anyone who is interested in the paranormal including ghosts, demons, orbs and hauntings will enjoy the many topics covered in this book. Those interested in spiritualism, new age topics and metaphysics will find many of the chapters such as past lives, possession and death and the soul connection.

People of all ages, walks of life and many religions will find something of interest in the book. Even those who do not believe in the paranormal will enjoy many of the thought provoking topics covered in this book.</p>
The story was inspired by an actual trial I did in Marin County in the late 1970s.
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Garamond;">In <em>A Shot in the Arm</em>, Barry Willdorf once more writes up a storm. Just as in the previous installment, <em>Burning Questions</em>, attorney Nate Lewis bumbles his way into a dark murder plot, but it's the reader who gets hooked. Willdorf’s <span>re-creation of period is right on the money, and his characters rock.</span> <span>His trilogy is a brilliant creation! </span>I wasn't able to put the book down.<span></span></span><strong><span style="font-family:Garamond;">Mark Rudd, author of <em>Underground: My life in SDS and the Weathermen</em></span></strong><span style="font-family:Garamond;"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><em><span style="font-family:Garamond;"> </span></em></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Garamond;">A fast-moving novel. Plenty of twists and turns. The legal details are sharp; the drinking and drugging and low life neighborhoods are Day-Glo vivid. I was glad to know there’s at least one more novel out there about Nate Lewis and his world. <strong>Meredith Sue Willis, author of <em>Ten Strategies to Write Your Novel</em> </strong>and <strong><em>Out of the Mountains</em> </strong></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Garamond;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Garamond;">The latest in Barry Willdorf's noir-ish series is a detective story with a sense of geography, a sense of morality, and a sense of humor. Set in San Francisco in the 1970s and written by a lawyer with street cred who lived through those turbulent times, <em>A Shot in the Arm</em> is also a blast to read. Just add java. <strong>Frances Lefkowitz, author of <em>To Have Not</em>.</strong></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-family:Garamond;"> </span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Garamond;">Barry Willdorf knows the lawyer's brain and feels the City's heart, producing a non-stop thrill-ride through San Francisco in the early 70s as a "people's lawyer" and his waitress girlfriend try to escape a web of smack, shady rehab, covert operations and murder. Gripping. Exciting.
