"Becoming psychic is a wonderfully diverse journey I’ve been traveling for over ten years, and as I accept, or overcome my emotions, or prejudices, I strive to honestly share how I felt and what I learned. My books are not intended as a treatise into the only path of discovery, but one woman’s adventure into the unknown."-Suzy Graf

The Awakened Psychic
(2014)
I never thought I’d learn to speak with spirits, let alone spirit guides, but a cascade of seemingly random events nudged me into a new reality.
Written as a prequel to my first two books, The Skeptic Psychic & The Enlightened Psychic, The Awakened Psychic follows events before I
met, and learned to channel my spirit guide, Yellow Dog.
I begin my story while watching the waves lap the shores of Long Island Sound, reminiscing how I developed my psychic abilities with a dear
friend. I discuss the accident which led to chronic pain. Pain, and stress opened a Psychic Pandora’s Box, and ghosts in my bedroom at night
invaded my dreams with horrifying thoughts of their deaths!
I yearned to return to a physically active life; raising my three children, riding horses, and caring for a small flock of sheep and an organic
garden. I had no time for physical pain, and little interest in talking to dead people. I attended a yoga practice in an effort to heal my body,
but what I discovered was the art of meditation, and a way of ME initiating seeing spirits.
I practiced meditation with the intention of understanding the thoughts of animals, and I honed the ability to share my mind with horses, dogs
and even a parakeet. But pesky spirits still invaded my meditations. I sought out a class in mediumship expecting to attend a few classes,
learn what the dead people wanted, and then return to practicing animal communication. I was wrong.
The mediumship class also taught Spiritual Healing, which prompted me to take classes in a form of healing called Reiki. I met several Healing
Spirit Guides as I progressed through my levels of Reiki training. I believed my first healing guide was a distant relative, and traveled to
Hungary to research more. Wondering if I shared a past life connection with my spirit guide, I also experience a past life regression session.
Later in my story, I learn how to use crystals from spirit guides who call themselves Druids, and I share my experience of meditating with crystal
grids, and journeying with animal spirit guides.
I start attending a weekly class on spiritual development and discover the strange ability to first chant, and then speak in tongues. There was
a different spirit near, and I receive ancient hieroglyphs, or symbols, in my dreams, as the energy of my meditations change, or expand. I
wake up knowing odd knowledge of ancient cultures, perhaps the fabled land of Lemuria? I struggle to understand the identity of my latest
spirit guide, and finally piece together the mystery.
The Awakened Psychic is not science fiction, nor fantasy, but a non-fictional account of how I learned to see, and understand, the unseen. I
share this adventure with others seeking a world not confined to our five senses. Stretch your imagination beyond the physical. You might be
surprised to discover you are never alone.

The Skeptic Psychic
(2010)
I started to write in the fall of 2004, during the night, in order to return to sleep. I was learning, developing as a medium and an animal
communicator, and I learned that if I wrote my dreams or what my “pretend friends” were telling me through dreams, then I would be “left alone”
and could return to sleep. No, I was not crazy; just a struggling would-be psychic searching to understand the unknown and when I began this
path, my searching, I found little literary assistance. Yes, the celebrity psychics all had their autobiographies in print but something was
missing. I needed to learn HOW they learned not WHAT they learned. I needed to understand the beginning phases of mediumship, not the
perfected exercises of the adept. With this mission in mind I journaled my experiences and edited them into The Skeptic Psychic; an
Autobiography into the Acceptance of the Unseen.
The Skeptic Psychic has two purposes; first it entices the reader to expand their imagination beyond what we currently perceive as reality and
it offers my experiences and my reactions, my fear to these situations, as a comfort and encouragement for the reader to challenge their own
suspicions and limitations. I am now a working psychic; offering animal readings or mediumship as well as leading meditations, teaching classes
and offering energy healing and my students and clients often comment how at peace and “naturally talented” I am and I smile. For I know that
I had lived through a myriad of experiences that, with time, had taught me to acclimate and accept the unseen. But I am far from “naturally
talented” and I feel that The Skeptic Psychic could help aspiring psychics, or anyone contemplating the unknown, to better understand that
they are not alone in what they are experiencing.
I composed The Skeptic Psychic from chronological journal entries that span from August of 2005 through March of 2006. The book opens just
after I attended a weekend retreat that posed the possibility that adults could believe in fairies and aliens. The more I questioned if fairies could
exist the more I discovered that they did. Later that year I confronted my apprehension when sensing that aliens were near as well. And as
2005 changed into 2006 I learned to overcome my fears and to accept the unseen.
I realize that my story and the fact that aliens and fairies do exist sounds rather unbelievable but read my book, follow the path, the reasoning
of how I learned to overcome my fears and understand that the result was a peace, a knowing that we are not alone in our reality, that there
are unseen beings, guides are another term, that are present to enlighten, protect and serve. I close this book description the way I close all
my journal entries with the salutation, Namaste, defined through WIKPEDIA as; "I respect that divinity within you that is also within me."

The Enlightened Psychic
(2011)
Reiki, Spiritual Healing and Holographic Sound Healing, I was delving into a myriad of healing modalities in the spring of 2006. Suffering from
acute spiritual deficit disorder, I appeared to be learning one technique when zzzzzzzzzzip I’d be off onto another tangent. I knew that I was
growing as a holistic healer, animal communicator and a medium but couldn’t grasp my lessons as I was learning them. Luckily, I had the
ability to consult my Spirit Guide, Yellow Dog, and channel his opinion. It was this wisdom along with messages from other confidants, such as
alien entities, that opened my eyes beyond the veil. I learned that my linear reality was but an illusion, and that I could reach past the
perceived physical boundaries of my being.
The Enlightened Psychic; Unlocking the Creative Source from Within is composed of a year’s worth of journal entries, psychic insights, and
channeled wisdom that tease the brain beyond the reasoning of why. Written as a sequel to The Skeptic Psychic, this work can be read in
tandem or stand on its own. Have you ever wondered Spirit’s perspective when contemplating the Universe? How would life be perceived
while existing without a body and not through physical eyes? Is the human race heading towards a oneness with all that is? And how would
this oneness, this communion with all that is, the sensation, or vibration, of love be perceived and understood through the limitations of the
mind?
I’ve heard it said that true enlightenment is unachievable but I disagree. Man imposes opinions in order to dominate and subjugate one
another. There is no hell, there is no evil, there is simply a fear, and when one lets go of that fear the reward is bliss. Allow yourself to
question as you read my own trials and experiences. Ascertain what the human brain is capable of understanding verses what the soul
knows. Travel with me to the stone circles, burial mounds and ancient ruins of Ireland, and later to the red sands of Arizona as I search for
the answers. And formulate your own opinion as to what true enlightenment could really be.

The Mystical Psychic
(2020)
The Mystical Psychic is the fourth book in my Psychic Awareness Series. Like peeling layers away from an onion, my personal journey blossoming into a professional psychic has been filled with “ah-ha” moments, and through The Mystical Psychic, I’ve discovered, and let go, of an unknown prejudice against Pagans and Witches; people and worshipers who really are no different than the traditional Christian religion I was raised within or the new religion I was practicing, Spiritualism, a religion that believes life continues after the change called death.
This memoir style book opens with me sitting in a séance, practicing “talking to spirits” with friends. The culture of Spiritualism claims to be open and accepting of all belief systems. So when one in our group questions the “safety” of working with a spirit guide that looks like a witch, I begin to recant how I overcame my prejudice against those who practice forms of Paganism. Using journal entries, I recall my first experiences; taking a Wiccan for Beginners Class, learning about Goddesses and comparing them to Angels, working as a pet psychic in a Renaissance Fair clothing store, being given a metaphysical dragon, learning to read the cards, first with Angel Oracle cards and later the Tarot, and then struggling with my chosen religion, Spiritualism’s, viewpoint of reading cards and using crystals.
Over the course of years, I learn, and share experiences highlighted by four key individuals; my Spiritualist mentor, Joseph, an eccentric would-be womanizer, the shop owner, Angela, a strong willed mother of the misfits, my Lightworker friend, Sharon, an ever present reason of hope and love and Yellow Dog, my spirit guide who channels wisdom and advice. All these people have rather eccentric viewpoints which I am drawn towards, especially the undertone of caring and acceptance which I needed to fill a void within my own life.
This book is composed of several years of journal entries; I’m interpreting pets to their caretakers, reading Tarot cards, talking to dead people, hanging out with people who prefer to wear tights and boob-push-me-up dresses, I begin to think M’Lady and M’Lord is how people really talk, I’m attending workshops where strangers hug and look forward to a common consciousness, and, most importantly of all, I feel accepted, loved and nurtured while embraced within some rather peculiar environments. But a conflict ensues.
Joseph steps over the line and is pushed out of our Spiritualist religious organization. I’m forced to choose between my mentor and my religion. The economy starts to crumble and Angela’s shop is closed. Sharon divorces herself from conflicts while I am ensconced within a solution. Slowly, I leave my nest of comfort and discover who I really am. And this is the purpose of this publication, to encourage the reader to take the chance, do the absurd, and release the fear, the judgment and perhaps the prejudice of the untried. Life can be a more interesting journey when one chooses to take the back roads.
The Mystical Psychic ends with my acceptance of not fitting into a religion or a paradigm. I realize that I don’t need to define myself as belonging to any one group or organization. How others perceive me are beyond my control. I have learned to accept others as they are, just as I accept me as me.
