About

Born in Seattle, WA and raised & living in Southern California, I am definitely a west coast girl. I started reading when I was 2 years old, so I don't remember learning how, just that books have always been a part of my life. I've always enjoyed reading and as far back as I can remember have added things to the story lines, kind of like a game I played with myself. Louisa May Alcott's series of Little Women, Little Men, and Jo's Boys provided the biggest influence in my life to encourage me to write. That, and the fact of the matter is, ideas grab me, disturb my sleep and won't leave me alone until they have been unleashed from my mind. For me that part is like the infatuation part of a relationship. Everything is new and shiny and you get to see your ideas take shape and grow, and take on a life of their own. Then comes the hard part - the actual grunge work of writing - the rewrites. And the problem with re-writes is knowing when to leave it alone - there's always something to tweak, a phrase, a nuance that could be improved. I started working on my first (never to see the light of day) novel at the age of 9 because there weren't enough books written for my age group, in my opinion. And so the saga goes. . .

Another author that has influenced me as a writer: Mark Twain. I literally read the cover off of Tom Sawyer and later Huckleberry Finn. As a teen, I became incensed by the movement to ban Huckleberry Finn from the approved reading list, and even worse, copies were being burned! Huckleberry Finn is an incredible example of the reflections of the time, and to burn it because it was no longer politically correct is a crime.

I live with my husband, Denny and our three long-haired dachshunds, Gryphon, Phoenix, and Elsa. By day I work in the world of international transportation, streamlining processes, building tools for efficiency, and keeping all systems running smoothly. Night is when imagination takes flight.

Description

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 who are experiencing their own paranormal occurrences such as hauntings and spirit attachments will find help and information to help them. 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.

"There is an interesting range or varied emotions from crying to laughing to simply secretly smiling to yourself because you can relate to every turn of events. You should definitely read this book." Move over Judy Blume! McCabe is a New Teen Character for a New Generation I asked what happened to good ole books like the ones Judy Blume wrote, and with <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1435704053/102-8911452-7977728?ie=UTF8&tag=shanyarbauthp-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=1435704053">Misfit McCabe</a>, I got my answer! LK Gardner-Griffie is a clever author who has truly embraced the “tween” readers of today with a rambunctious young lady they will certainly relate to. Katie McCabe, the main character, is a rebellious fourteen year old tom girl looking for trouble. And most of the time, she gets exactly what she’s looking for! ~Shannon Yarbrough, the <a title="LL Book Review" href="http://llbookreview.com/2008/08/review-32-misfit-mccabe-by-lk-gardner-griffie/">LL Book Review </a> Bring on the Sequel! Misfit McCabe is beautifully written and Katie is an engaging central character. LK Gardner-Griffie truly understands young teens and takes you into their world, with all their insecurities and uncertainties. I'm sure that more adventures await Katie, more "growing pains" and more lessons from life, in the coming sequel to Misfit McCabe. I can't wait to read it. ~Author Linda Welch Winner of the Flamingnet.com Top Choice Award I loved Misfit McCabe! The descriptions were amazing. I was glued to Misfit McCabe like a fly stuck to fly tape. ~Student Reviewer for <a href="http://www.flamingnet.com/bookreviews/newreviews/newbookreview.cfm?title=Misfit%20McCabe&CFID=35740517&CFTOKEN=44653835">Flamingnet.com</a> Full of Action A story brimming with all the right ingredients for that 'awkward' age: growing up, relationships, finding a place in the world... Packed with action from the start, this well written tale will have readers wanting to turn the pages. I particularly liked the underlying humour, although mixed with a seriousness that borders the disturbing events, it shines enough to give us a glimpse of the true identity of the heroine...one to like and champion. Certainly one for those 'in-between'. Julie Elizabeth Powell, author of Gone, The Star Realm, Knowing Jack and Slings & Arrows
