Lisa Bonnice is the author (and co-author) of several books, the newest being Castle Gate - Book 1 in The Maxwell Curse Trilogy. It’s the true and tragic saga of the Garroch and Littlejohn families, related by marriage. The Littlejohn family is descended from a lineage that was cursed during a witch trial in 1600s Scotland. The Garrochs are unfortunate enough to have married into this nightmare.

Castle Gate tells the tale, based on extensive genealogical research, of the families who emigrate to the United States from Scotland during the WWI and Prohibition eras, only to have the curse follow them there.

Castle Gate tells the tale, based on extensive genealogical research, of the families who emigrate to the United States from Scotland during the WWI and Prohibition eras, only to have the curse follow them there. The Littlejohns and Garrochs, and over a hundred others, are devastated by one of the biggest mine explosions in American history — the Castle Gate Mine Disaster of 1924 — where families are torn apart and almost two hundred men die by fire in a mine that the Littlejohns run.

Lisa's novel The Poppet Master, a metaphysical comedy, is a reworking of her first novel Be Careful What You Witch For! This new re-titled version includes a new ending, plus a foreword written by Marc Allen, publisher at New World Library. The Poppet Master is a comedic look at what happens when a perfectly ordinary woman wakes up one day with psychic abilities and no instruction manual.

She also co-authored with Stacey M. Kananen the true crime novel Fear of Our Father—The True Story of Abuse, Murder, and Family Ties. Stacey is the survivor of years of heinous abuse at the hands of her father. When Stacey's older brother confessed to murdering both parents, he took her down with him and she was arrested and tried for murder. Fear of Our Father tells the harrowing story of how she survived.

Shape Shifting—reclaiming YOUR perfect body, Lisa's first book, is a body/mind/spirit look at weight balancing (an updated version is available on Kindle, entitled: Shape Shifting—the Body/Mind/Spirit Weight Solution). Lisa has been involved in body/mind/spirit healing for decades. She lost 50 pounds while writing her first book about the metaphysics of weight loss. Shape Shifting caught the attention of Neale Donald Walsch, who wrote the foreword.

Her strange and interesting life includes seven years as a standup comedienne, working with the likes of Tim Allen, Steve Harvey and Jeff Foxworthy. Lisa's background includes editing Future Medicine Publishers' Alternative Medicine—The Definitive Guide, along with over five years as an award-winning affiliate writer and producer for MSNBC.com.

Lisa currently works with The Shift Network as a program and summit host, where she interviews luminaries and experts in the fields of spirituality, energy medicine and psychic phenomenon. She hosts the Ancestral Healing Summit, interviewing experts in epigenetics and ancestral healing, and the Beyond the Veil Summit, which features experts in Near Death Experiences (NDE) and Mediumship.

Lisa’s Quotes

“Hugh consoled me, saying, "Don't let it get to you. There are plenty of things you're good at."

When asked for some examples, he listed vacuuming and naming stuffed animals. He says he can probably come up with a few more, but he'll need some time to think.”

Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
