Animal-Insight - Changing  Lives by Jackie Weaver

Shortlisted for the People's Book Prize March 2010

ISBN-13: 978-1907203084

AMAZON: Buy this book

An entertaining and insightful collection of genuine cases of animal communication, by Jackie Weaver –  talented and highly renowned in this field – as seen on TV!

“Over the past few years, I have treated many of the same horses that have ‘chatted’ to Jackie. It never ceases to amaze me when I find the same muscular/skeletal problems that correspond to what they have already ‘told’ Jackie during a communication. This book clearly shows how useful Animal Communication can be for the owners and their animals, highlighting problems that sometimes the eye can’t see, so helping the animals to get the treatment they need.”

Sarah Smith BSc, MAA, McTimoney Animal Manipulator


"Sceptics beware; Jackie Weaver possesses a rare ability, a gift supported by testimonials barked out by a veritable pack of dogs, cats, horses and other assorted creatures great and small. She is undoubtedly the Welsh Marches’ answer to Dr Doolittle - as I should know. Her brief interview with my Spaniel/Collie cross, Bundle, proved an incisive glimpse into the doggy psyche.”

Confide in me, I come in Peace

ISBN-13: 978-0956103284

Confide in me, I come in Peace, is a powerful novel that narrates the deliberate and pernicious worldwide spread of the AIDS virus, HIV, to the uninfected. It is a thrilling mix of love, hate, seduction, corruption, deceit, betrayal, murder and the resolute quest for power; encompassing the existence of malicious cults and their operations, and the evil schemes perpetrated by some sadists and degenerates to satisfy their evil desires.

The story portrays an impressive young nurse, Juliette, who would jeopardize her own life in order to expose the cruel and gloomy mission of SOCODWO, a humanitarian organization that spreads HIV worldwide under the umbrella of ‘providing free medical assistance.’

Review:
Very strong; thrilling (chilling in parts), and compulsive read.  The story-line is exciting, and the switchbacks between periods and situations keep one wanting to turn the pages non-stop until the very surprising, and unexpected, ending. Extremely well written; the characters are vividly described. The work contains a goodly supply of graphically gruesome horror; an exhilarating, exciting, and breath-taking read. It's a disturbingly splendid story!

William the Conqueror gave Greystones to the Valdis family in the eleventh century for services rendered; the event being recorded in the Doomsday Book. In the sixteenth century a cunning and gold-digging lady of the realm wheedled herself into the estate and then, one by one, murdered the family members. Through cunning and guile she managed to blame others for the deaths. In the twentieth century, history has come full circle and the true descendants and heirs to the estate are summoned. There is one small drawback: the estate is neither an endowment nor a bequest.

Matthew Adams is a Canadian and whilst suffering monetary difficulties he suddenly becomes the heir to what is known as the Edict. On offer is the huge and mysterious estate of Greystones in the peaceful countryside of Norfolk, England. Matthew’s only daughter is troublesome and at that awkward age of being neither adult nor child. Moving into the huge empty house, the girl begins to learn things that should only belong in the past. Colette sees the ghosts and accepts them as part of her extended family. Unable to see the ethereal residents, her mother and father become increasingly worried for the girl’s mental balance. Matthew’s only hope for salvation is to find the reason for the haunting and unravel the secrets of the white lady before the all-terrifying Shee devil destroys everyone’s sanity.

Finalist of the People's Book Prize 2010

 MARCH WINNER

ISBN-13: 978-0956103208

Sapphire Daulby’s ‘gift’ had relentlessly tormented her mind and soul, in spite of the powerful spiritual help that she was able to offer those in need, during a crisis. Her ability to predict future events through her dreams led her to experience events during her sleep, in places and times that seemed unimaginable. She was blessed with the ability to portray her ‘visions’ through her unique style of painting, for which she gained world acclaim, and which opened up greater opportunities for her career, as an artist, in America.                              

The nightly journeys, and psychic connections she encountered, brought about a series of turbulent interactions with both the living and the dead. The quiet voices within her mind guided her through her life, calling her to where she could work her healing powers. One such calling concluded in a deep and spiritual connection and the ultimate union of souls. Sapphire and Todd Fraser’s love story was nothing less than incredulous. But could anything so perfect last forever? 

Bags of memories from the present, past and future were carried through her life, weighing down her weary spirit. When people regarded her as an ‘angel’ she felt shame for, secretly, she longed to be free of the chains of the onerous work she had been chosen to fulfill. Setting her spirit free was the toughest challenge of all. How would she find the pathway to the Light?

Review:

"I found the plot fascinating, and the language beautiful and descriptive. I especially loved the way in which Jenny Holmes alternated between the thoughts and activities of Sapphy's conscious and subconscious, transporting the reader to a variety of landscapes and cultures effortlessly. I particularly enjoyed the characterisation of each of Sapphy's four elder sisters, to whom Jenny Holmes attached some humorous and endearing personalities. The close relationships of Amber, Amethyst, Ruby, Jade and Sapphire, and understanding of each other was very touching at times, but also produced many enjoyable moments of laughter." - Country and Border Life, April 2009 (Book Club) - Emily Bromage.

They embark upon an exciting, prestigious project on Tudors, a new restaurant in the county town of Shrewsbury.
