About
Lorena R. Peter, Phd, Author, Medical Intuitive and Reiki Master. I started out in the practice of psychology, and hold a Ph.D. in Psychology. Having completed two programs: Counseling Psychology and Industrial Psychology, later in life I worked in the private sector as Director of Marketing and Public Relations.
Completing my first novel, a mystery, 25 years ago, I have also completed four more books, with four more in process; GAFF (The Wisdom of the Sea) being one of my many accomplishments is now in print and available for purchase at Amazon.com.
On a spiritual note, I have had "odd" experiences since a child, I actually started developing my psychic gifts about 13 years ago. The trauma of relationship problems was the catalyst motivating me to study through meditation, reading, and attending classes. I also have a practice as a medical intuitive in which I blend my intuitive gifts and the knowledge acquired through years of studying health and medical issues. I am an energy healer with a Reiki Master attunement as well as certifications in many other healing modalities.
The Usurper King (The Plantagenet Legacy Book 3)
Description
<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">First, he led his own uprising. Then he captured a forsaken king. Henry had no intention of taking the crown for himself; it was given to him by popular acclaim. Alas, it didn't take long to realize that that having the kingship was much less rewarding than striving for it. Only three months after his coronation, Henry IV had to face a rebellion led by Richard's disgruntled favorites. Repressive measures led to more discontent. His own supporters turned against him, demanding more than he could give. The haughty Percies precipitated the Battle of Shrewsbury which nearly cost him the throne—and his life.</span><br style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;" /><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">To make matters worse, even after Richard II's funeral, the deposed monarch was rumored to be in Scotland, planning his return. The king just wouldn't stay down and malcontents wanted him back.</span></p>

The author wove a rare story
featuring a wise fisherman. As people pass by and converse with the
fisherman (Gaff), they are surprised to find him not only friendly, but
having some surprising insights to their particular personal situations.
<br />The successful marriage of both spirituality and psychology
continued to make me smile throughout the book. The flow of the book
made it such an easy read, and it's easy to see a little of each of us
in the various people he connects with as they stop to sit on his much
used ice chest.
<br />Looking for a pleasant, light read? Check out Gaff, and like me, I think you too will be pleasantly surprised.<br /><br /><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/145053953X?ie=UTF8&tag=lorepete-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=145053953X">Robert McBeath (La Grange, KY USA)</a></strong><br />This wise book, by psychologist and author, Dr. Lorena Peter, skillfully
weaves a rich tapestry of stories told by those walking a North
Carolina beach who are drawn to and spiritually transformed by their
interactions with the charismatic old fisherman, Gaff, with his
psychic/spiritual connections to Mother Water. Through Gaff's patience
and infinite understanding of the human heart, the deepest truths are
drawn out of those who stop to sit on his cooler and tell him their
stories. The life lessons learned linger long in the reader's higher
mind, illuminating there the secrets of the soul. This is a beautiful
little book, one worthy of a wide audience.
