Guest Post with Mike Angley
a psychic romance
Friday, 13 May 2011 and a big 'thank you' to Mike Angley for the great interview published today on his website.
We talked about 'Touched By The Light', why I decided to start writing psychic novels, and future projects that I hope to publish in 2011/2012.
It was lovely meeting Mike, he is a great guy and I can thoroughly recommend his books. He's had an interesting life and it is reflected in his writing!

Mike Angley author of The Child Finder Trilogy
More information about Mike – he is the award-winning author of the Child Finder Trilogy. He retired from the Air Force in 2007 following a 25-year career as a Special Agent with the Office of Special Investigations (OSI). He writes thrillers with a paranormal twist. His protagonist is a man whose deep faith guides him through his page-turning perils. The Child Finder Trilogy is a hot thriller series with a light, somewhat edgy spiritual theme…it is not typical Christian fiction. But fans of that genre as well as suspense and thriller enthusiasts thoroughly enjoy it!
The Child Finder Trilogy. The truth is not out there…it's in here, in the final book…and it's not what you think. Of course, it's just fiction. It's not real…or is it?
Inspired by real-life experiences…follow the paranormal adventures of an Air Force Special Agent as the government exploits his psychic abilities to find abducted children. Rescuing them is a noble pursuit, but it comes at great cost. Special Agent Patrick O'Donnell must battle dark, murderous forces within his own trusted inner circle, as well as unimaginable evil that threatens his family. Before his journey ends, Pat will learn explosive government information that will rock his understanding of life, the universe, and his own faith. Perhaps some secrets are best kept hidden…..

Reviews for 'Touched By The Light'
a psychic romance novel
The cover of a book does, without a doubt, draw you to a particular title.
The blurb on the jacket may entice you, but it's always nice to read what other people have to say about it, isn't it?
Here is a selection of the reviews for 'Touched By The Light', which I hope will make this book one you will want to take home and read for yourself:-
Review posted by Alice Berger, reviewer and author http://bergersbookreviews.com/2011/05/03/touched-by-the-light/ Mya isn't quite sure where she is, when she suddenly realizes she's no longer in her body. She remembers a hospital and workers scurrying around her, but then she makes her way toward the light and reaches what she thinks is the other side. But where is everyone else? Why isn't anyone around to help her adjust?
Laurel is able to communicate with spirits, and she and Mya become friends. Drawn to Laurel's relationship with Dan, Mya is convinced she's in this purgatory of sorts in order to help them. But then she loses touch with Laurel and begins a new friendship with Dan – this time without the benefit of speaking.
It's impossible for me to tell much more about this story without giving away all the intricate plot twists that make it such a fun read. Romance, good friendships, and the paranormal blend together so nicely, with a cast of believable and well-developed characters. Everyone grows as a result of their experiences, and the reader is rewarded with a happy ending.
Touched By the Light is Linn B. Halton's first work of fiction, and it's a dandy. I look forward to reading more from this talented new author.
Review Post by Kit Domino, artist and author http://wp.me/p1q0nb-2G
When I purchased my Kindle I promised myself I would not buy any more paper books but the release of 'Touched by The Light' made me break that vow such was my enthusiasm to read this book. And I wasn't disappointed. It is a brilliant read.
This Psychic Romance delivers on all counts even if you don't believe in the supernatural and paranormal, life after death, spirits or anything remotely psychic. Touched by the Light draws you into the story immediately when Mya, knowing she has died, is thrust unwittingly and unwillingly into a quest to bring together two love-torn people, Laurel and Dan.
There are no ghosts to spook you, just one or two things that do go bump in the day; a door slamming, items being thrown across a room but these are just ways Mya makes herself known to Dan. Laurel can talk to spirits, and Mya finds herself able to communicate with her, trying to make sense of her own predicament as well as solving Laurel's difficulties even when summoned by a Ouija board and a medium who tries to make sense of what is going on in their two worlds.
Although at times we do lose sight of Mya a little along the way, the ending is surprising, raising more questions than can possibly be answered on this journey into the spirit world, but a satisfactory conclusion nonetheless.
New writers are frequently told not to write in the first person because of how limiting this is in enabling the necessary reactions and actions between characters but Linn has achieved what many writers never do. She has created strong, believable characters in an intriguing plot that moves forward a pace. Each chapter is told from one character's viewpoint delivered in the first person. And it works! No small feat for a new writer.
So, well done Linn on a superb read. I look forward to reading more of your books in the not too distant future.
Review posted by Wilkie Martin, author http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R3KS8S4PKWJ8X1
This is a good and imaginative story about the problems a young woman faces when she unexpectedly finds herself in the afterlife. It is cleverly constructed and well written with a nice romantic interplay between the characters, who are interesting and sympathetic. Just when you start to think you understand what's happening, a couple of well-timed plot twists keep you wanting to read on as the plot moves to a satisfying finale.

Being A Sceptic Is Oh So Easy
Sit awhile and think ...
It's the easy option, isn't it? As a sceptic you have nothing to explain or justify; if you see, feel or hear something unexplained, you can tell yourself you have an over-active imagination. Each experience becomes an isolated memory that you can conveniently file away in the attic of your mind. Keeping each very separate is the key, your subconscious tells you not to make connections and not to question. Until one day something happens and you begin to see that it is like a jig-saw puzzle and the pieces begin to fall into place. The truth is life-changing.
For me the first trigger was when someone else began to share my experiences. Someone I trusted implicitly, and who was an even bigger sceptic than I was at that time. But we didn't talk about it until it had been happening for quite a while, because a part of you understands that when two people have seen the same thing, there is no going back. Even if you have no idea exactly where this shared knowledge will take you, once you've crossed the line and had the conversation it becomes real.
'Being A Sceptic Is Oh So Easy' is the true story of the personal journey that has led me to the point where I can say 'I believe in life after death' because of what I have experienced. It began with experiences in some of the houses I have lived in, some with over 200 years of history and others where I was just a visitor; then the loss of beloved family members triggered new and unexpected experiences. The grieving process was so hard to bear, but gradually I came to learn that they are still close and their guidance would end up taking me in a whole new direction. It would also make me take a fresh look at what I had so conveniently 'filed away' as unexplained, or imagined and the jig-saw began to take shape.
'Being A Sceptic Is Oh So Easy' will be released on Kindle shortly. If you've lost a loved one but have a sense that they are still around you, or had an experience you can't explain, then take a walk with me on my journey.
