In Season 3, Episode 20 of Bookable Space with Yvonne Battle-Felton, I read an excerpt from Grit & Grace: The Transformation of a Ship and a Soul and share more about my writing life.

As a teen, my coping mechanism for the pain I saw and felt in the world was a reading list that included Max Heindel’s The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception, Gina Cerminara’s Many Mansions, Levi Dowling’s The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ and books about Atlantis.
