Shopping at San Francisco's Woolworth Store
Having had lived in San Francisco since 1956 I find it a fascinating city for it's picturesque hills and valleys, and waterways and therefore set my story about a Scottish immigrant family in the city.
Growing up in San Francisco some of my most enjoyable memories were trips downtown to shop at Woolworth’s Department Store. The building was on Market Street and wrapped around and up Powell Street. Woolworth was such a San Francisco experience that I just had to include it my book, The Skye in June. See an excerpt below.
The store was filled with just about everything you'd ever want to find; clothing, beauty products, sewing goods,inexpensive jewelry, so much stuff!
Perfect for Christmas shopping where my money would be spent carefully. I’d jump on the number 8 Castro bus at 19th and Castro with usually a sister or two and head downtown for fun. My wallet would be filled with money saved from babysitting. The first floor was tight to walk with aisles or counters and in the basement was Budgies, Canaries and gold fish –– gifts I bought at one time or another for family. It took hours to shop. At the end of the shopping I’d go upstairs to the lunch counter –– always busy –– for a Patti-melt and milkshake or a burger and coke. Afterward, if there was time, we would take a cable car ride (no lines back then - just hop on.)
From "The Skye in June"
The grinding noise of the cable car’s brakes as it slowed to their stop was ear piercing. June stood and took hold of the metal pole. She swayed outward as she readied herself to jump from the platform when they reached the intersection of Powell at Market Streets. The thrill of hanging out of the cable car and the feel of the brisk wind against her face had charged her energy. She felt a sense of freedom. As they lurched to a stop, she hopped off and hollered to her mother, “Did you get a transfer?”Cathy nodded a “yes,” and gingerly stretched out a foot to get down from the cable car. June took hold of her hand to help her mother. Arm in arm, they walked over to the Woolworth’s department store on Market Street to look at the items for sale in the window.

Talking to the Dead-Gift or Curse?
I just watched the movie Hereafter with Matt Damon as George, a retired psychic medium, who is called back into service against his will. I know how he felt.
I’m one of those people who easily sees and talks to the dead––those who have passed over. In the movie George tells another how he became psychic: As a child he had become very ill and needed surgery on the back of his head. Because of it something happened in his brain resulting in him “knowing and seeing” things about people he had no prior access to and this information was told to him by dead people.
I appreciated how the scriptwriter presented a correlation between head/brain surgery and changes in one’s psychic abilities. I also had a similar experience where a head injury had awoken my psychic abilities.
When I was nineteen I was in a very serious car accident and received grave injuries to my face and head and for a moment in the ambulance I “died”. That brief moment profoundly changed the course of my life forever, although it took me years to, not only understand what happened, but talk about it openly. Like one character in Hereafter I went to the“otherside”.
The physical part in time healed but the true miracle was what happened afterward.
Within a couple of months I began to have strong premonitions, about people’s past (recognition) visions of future events (precognition) and dead people spoke to me. It was not pleasant. Heck it scared the bejeevus out of me! Not that I was new to accepting psychic occurrences. My mother had a curiosity in it, even having a few prophetic a few dreams and for fun read tealeaves, but my experiences surpassed this greatly.
One of my strong abilities is mediumship and I rather enjoy it. I’ve mostly given up giving spirit communication (aka séances) because of the physically living beings as George experienced.
Of course the dead can be an annoyance as Oda Mae Brown (Whoopi Goldberg) in the movie “Ghosts” learned where she was deluged by spirits all coming through (talking) at one time––it can happen like that when they find a person who can see and hear them.
Do they haunt you like Oda Mae was by the dead character Sam, Patrick Swayze? You bethca! This happened to me once. The spirit didn’t lighten up until the police contacted me for all her information (her killer was successfully prosecuted.)
There are many rewards having these abilities’ and talents. I’ve met people from all over the world and been invited to travel to share my abilities. People have told me the information I shared changed their lives. Then again there’s a downside. In the movie George says that some people say he has a gift, but he thought of it more as a curse. I can relate. The curse is seeing and knowing too much as George says.
Psychics do become tired. Its takes a lot of energy, much focus and a certain detachment as information surges through. I’ve worked with law enforcement and even the believers have a particular way that can make one feel a bit blocked. There’s the need and expectations of clients to fulfill (or not) and neediness of the people seeking help and connections to dead loved ones. Let’s not forget the testing doubters, the ridiculing critics and the condemning haters (oh yes!) of psychics.
After having used my abilities for 40 years I believe that psychic energy must retire and the person must live for her or himself. But then, like George, there’s always that one more person who truly needs that information.
In my novel, my main character has "unusual" abilities that prove to be more of a curse than a blessings.

What a Character!
I'm often asked how I create my fictional characters and although I can't speak for all writers, I can for myself say––you and you and you!
I am a people person or should say, a people magnet really. My "other" job is all about people, which gives me plenty of fodder in my larder when writing.
In my first book, "The Timeless Counselor" –– a non-fiction –– I wrote about clients' sessions, but changed the names of course. If you've read that, you see how their stories could actually become a fictional tale or two.
In my novel, oh yum, yum! How fun picking bits and pieces of personalities and situations from a host of characters I've encountered in life.
Even my own family says, 'hey! is that me?' I say of 'course not!'
In truth bits and pieces are my parents, sisters and even my brothers. And then there were others life neighborhood friends. One friend, upon reading the book, called me and said 'loved reading about myself in your book'.
My brothers moaned 'You only used sisters where's the brothers?' Maybe a part of the sisters is the brothers, I told them.
In one chapter of the novel, "The Skye in June - fictional (but of course!)I used a crime committed in the early 1960's in my neighborhood to create fiction between the MacDonald family and more so for the main character, June.
Although I remember the story, research was still necessary to stir real and imaginary pictures to put into enticing words.
One of the people involved in this serious crime (all teen boys) read my book then remarked, "I see I made your story." He wasn't angry or upset. Names had been changed, it was an old crime but still part of the changing environs in "the Castro" of San Francisco and only a few would recognize the old story.
Readers from my 'old hood' during the story's era in San Francisco, contact me all the time to share their own experiences of growing up in what became a world famous neighborhood, "the Castro". Those who went to Catholic school also have much to say about their experience with nuns. Readers who went to the same parochial school I did and wrote about in the book, recognize the nuns by their real names and not the ones I gave them. That is fun! Of course the names have been changed to protect the innocent and the guilty.
As I work on my new novel the characters are created more so by me, but still I reflect back on the later 1960 days in San Francisco and have many characters to draw from.
What about the characters in your life? Will they end up in a story?

GREAT CITY FOR BOOK LOCATION
There are many great cities for a story to take place in; London, Paris, Venice, New York City, Glasgow and of course, Baghad-by-the-Bay.
San Francisco Chronicle columnist Herb Caen coined the term Baghdad-by-the-Bay for San Francisco's exotic multicultural, multicrazy citizens -- my city. I hear some natives who have long moved it say, it's not like it used to be! True, because it, like the waters surrounding it, is in constant change -- people sail in, sail out and the beat goes on.
How could I not develop a story around San Francisco?
My novels, "The Skye in June" and "City of Redemption", set in this interesting place tell of times gone past. What hasn't changed are the hills the characters climb up and down, in and out of shops nestled the valleys as fog lingers nearby. A visit to Playland to listen to the hysterical Laughing Sal is a reminder of an amusement park that remains in many memories. A writer can't tell a story about San Francisco without taking readers on a cable car ride with a clang, clang of bells and end at Woolworth's store on Market.
The City is full of history of unsavory characters and wild happenings. When the Bloom of Summer of Love 1967 in the Haight Ashbury paled, the squalor was left for those who called San Francisco home. We went on, more to talk about - then dam hippies! - and then those strange ones came; The Castro grew new life, people, ones like the home-grown city people never saw. Did the world end? Did the City crumble? No. Baghdad stories flew far and wide. The beat went on. And will.
Memories continue to be made, changes never cease. Like it or not. My stories, my bookswill be around for a long, long time, long after I pass on to the big party in the sky. Readers will know what life was like back in the day - they will will know a bit more about my city - my Baghad-by-the-Bay.

BOO & Other Things Ghosts Say.
BOO! Did you hear that? Ghosts, for real? Do The Dead Walk Amongst Us?
Perhaps during a psychic reading you asked about communicating with a loved one who passed on to the other world - heaven or Nirvana or where?
Communicating with the dead, or spirits of those who passed is discussed in my book The Timeless Counselor/A Complete Consumer's Guide to a Psychic Reading
Many people have asked me over my forty years as a psychic medium (and working with law enforcement) because they want to keep communication alive when a loved one passes on to the other world. Does communication really happen?
Well, certainly many people think so. Look at the popularity of TV shows with medium John Edwards, Sylvia Browne and the latest, The Long Island Medium
There are several different ways mediums/psychic readers communicate with spirit entities. A SÉANCE is one way. I discuss this in my book, The Timeless Counselor: The Best Guide to a Successful Psychic Reading.
Please be advised that not all spirits communicate when petitioned and why is that?
Join me on radio KOW tomorrow. I'll will talk about why you'd want to communicate and why would the spirit want to as well as how to communicate with the dead tomorrow Tuesday 2/4/14 from 9 to10 a.m. PST. Call-in your questions 707-874-1073.
Program Steams live KOW radio
Other mentions: My Ghost Walks with The Haunted Bay. See my video on Youtube where the Condor Club was featured and the second video of an interview of how I came to have this gift.
If you cannot listen tomorrow 2/4/14, comment w/contact for when an archive of the show is available. I'll be talking the first Tuesday about a variety of psychic phenomenons. In March about psychic children.

GHOSTS POINT HISTORY TRAIL
I like reading about history and outside non-fiction books enjoy historical novels to read about the happenings, the people - famous, infamous and ordinary folks like myself - the language, clothing, and society at a given period. Mostly what I learn is some things just never change. Do you like history/period novels?
Now that I'm "ghost busting" in San Francisco for a paranormal group I get some firsthand history glimpses.
See me walk the infamous streets of the Barbary Coast, San Francisco during the day seeing and talking to spirits.

Spirit Talks•Ghostly Encounters•Hauntings
Talking to the dead appears easy for me. It really can be as easy as talking to living people, but then again, it can be scary too (easy and scary seen in my paranormal ghost walk Youtube 'The Haunted: SF & Beyond Youtube videos.)
I'm ask so many questions over my forty years as a psychic medium about this phenomenon - life after death, do they really communicate and many, many more questions about ghosts and spirits. Finally, I was asked to write it, hence my latest book "How to Talk With Spirits: Séances•Mediums•Ghost Hunts."
I wanted to present information for the believers, quiet those who had great fears and bad experiences, and perhaps open the minds of non-believers to look at it from a fresh perspective.
People attempt to contact spirits of their loved ones who past all th time therefore I included reasonable and practical advise on how to conduct a séance, take ghost hunts, and avoid negative entities. Some of the advise came through sharing of my own most memorable ghost encounters and hauntings by murder victims.
At nineteen years-old I was in a horrific automobile accident. Thrown through the windshield, and had a near death experience (NDE.) It changed my life forever. For quite a few years, I couldn’t talk about what she saw on the 'other side.' I couldn't explain it to anyone without fearing I'd sound delusional. Then I learned there were others with similar experiences.
A survey in US News & World Report of March 1997 reported 15 million people experienced NDE. I wasn't alone.
Check out my book on Amazon and Smashwords and by the end you'll decide if it could happen or not. "How to Talk with Spirits: Seances, Mediums, Ghost Hunts.
How to Talk With Spirits: Séances•Mediums•Ghost Hunts
After her NDE was a scary, confusing time. June envisioned events yet to happen. The dead visited her. More than forty years later, she continues to have psychic visions and visits from the dead. While skeptics deny the existence of ghosts and spirit communication claiming there’s no real evidence, polls and surveys show the public strongly disagrees. A 2005 Huffpost poll reported forty-five percent of Americans believed in ghosts or the spirits of the dead and that they can come back in certain places and situations. In a nationwide random survey, 808 adults were asked if they believed in life after death. Seventy-eight percent responded yes. More than one in five Americans said they had seen a ghost themselves, or have felt themselves in the presence of one.
As in her consumer's guide, "The Timeless Counselor: The Best Guide to a Successful Psychic Reading", June offers practical and useful advice about the paranormal world. In this book, she talks about the personal challenges of being a psychic/medium. June discusses the many spirits and vampire entities she's met during her life.

I'm ask so many questions over my forty years as a psychic medium about this phenomenon - life after death, do they really communicate and many, many more questions about ghosts and spirits. Finally, I was asked to write it, hence my latest book "How to Talk With Spirits: Séances•Mediums•Ghost Hunts."
I wanted to present information for the believers, quiet those who had great fears and bad experiences, and perhaps open the minds of non-believers to look at it from a fresh perspective.
People attempt to contact spirits of their loved ones who past all th time therefore I included reasonable and practical advise on how to conduct a séance, take ghost hunts, and avoid negative entities. Some of the advise came through sharing of my own most memorable ghost encounters and hauntings by murder victims.
At nineteen years-old I was in a horrific automobile accident. Thrown through the windshield, and had a near death experience (NDE.) It changed my life forever. For quite a few years, I couldn’t talk about what she saw on the 'other side.' I couldn't explain it to anyone without fearing I'd sound delusional. Then I learned there were others with similar experiences.
A survey in US News & World Report of March 1997 reported 15 million people experienced NDE. I wasn't alone.
Check out my book on Amazon and Smashwords and by the end you'll decide if it could happen or not. "How to Talk with Spirits: Seances, Mediums, Ghost Hunts.
How to Talk With Spirits: Séances•Mediums•Ghost Hunts
After her NDE was a scary, confusing time. June envisioned events yet to happen. The dead visited her. More than forty years later, she continues to have psychic visions and visits from the dead. While skeptics deny the existence of ghosts and spirit communication claiming there’s no real evidence, polls and surveys show the public strongly disagrees. A 2005 Huffpost poll reported forty-five percent of Americans believed in ghosts or the spirits of the dead and that they can come back in certain places and situations. In a nationwide random survey, 808 adults were asked if they believed in life after death. Seventy-eight percent responded yes. More than one in five Americans said they had seen a ghost themselves, or have felt themselves in the presence of one.
As in her consumer's guide, "The Timeless Counselor: The Best Guide to a Successful Psychic Reading", June offers practical and useful advice about the paranormal world. In this book, she talks about the personal challenges of being a psychic/medium. June discusses the many spirits and vampire entities she's met during her life. She reveals the murder victims who haunted her and her work with the police. One chapter answers the most asked questions from the curious living about spirits, ghost hunts and psychic abilities. She advises how to safely communicate with the dead, when it is the right time to communicate, and when it's time to stop. Her information helps readers decide whether to communicate through a medium or solo. There are also pointers on how to conduct a séance and ghost hunt.

Near Death Experience
NDE or Near Death Experiences can alter your life forever.
Since the publication of my book,"How to Talk With Spirits" I have been contacted by groups who investigate and are interested in my NDE. I hadn't realized how many are truly to interested in learning what is on the other side of life.
Have you or someone you've known had a NDE and if so, did life change afterward as mine did for me?
When I experienced my dying and returning I no idea my life path direct me to a most unique and interesting profession.
You can hear me talk about it on Healing Arts Radio show http://readingsbyyerevan.com/radio-sh...
Excerpt from my ebook.
How it Began
In 1970, after a serious automobile accident and while in the ambulance, I expired for a moment and was subsequently revived. This was my first experience with spirit connection. For many years after this incident, I couldn’t talk about my profound experience of being on the other side. How could I explain I saw the light? How could I describe the ecstatic sense of pure joy and serenity unknown to me previously in this life?
Outside the crashed vehicle, a white light appeared to emanate from a woman standing close by. She stared at me intently through the windshield as I sat bleeding profusely from head and face injuries. Dazed, I looked back at her. Her presence was comforting and her face kind. Surrounded by a glow of light, she appeared to be clothed in all white. I felt loving warmth from the woman and thought I heard her say, “Don’t worry, it’ll be alright.” But that was impossible given the distance between us. Then the light enveloped me. Only I wasn’t led through a tunnel as others who have died and returned say they experienced. The next thing I recall was a policeman sitting in the driver’s seat next to me telling me to hang on. I knew he was talking to me but I couldn’t focus on him. All I could think about as blood poured onto my new coat bought for a first time date was how my clothes were ruined. It’s strange what bothers us in serious situations. I don’t recall being carried from the wreck to the ambulance or even the ride to the hospital.
With time, I remembered my journey to the other side. Once you have come back from the brink of death, you’re never quite the same. What happened during that time, how you felt, what you saw always remains vivid in your mind. I saw deceased relatives, some gone for many years. Some I only recognized because of old photographs in family albums. In a beautiful garden, they were laughing softly, their faces full of peace and love. A warm bright light surrounded the whole scene. An ornate white iron fence encircled the garden. I stood outside the fence, gazing at my happy grandparents, uncles and aunts. They watched me with big smiles. I felt peace and heartfelt love. Then they began to wave me away, cheerily saying, “Not now, June. Go back.”
--> My surgeon told me I was a lucky young woman because I expired in the ambulance for about twenty seconds. Twenty seconds that changed my life forever.
It was frightening and confusing for a nineteen year-old woman to see, hear and know facts about living and dead people. I fretted and wondered about these strange happenings. NDE, at this time, was rarely, if ever, discussed. People dismissed individuals such as myself with NDE experiences as delusional, fakes or odd. It was also a huge time of change both socially and politically. This may be why, in time, I accepted the fact my outlook on life was different. I could hear, see, feel, and even smell non-physical people as though if they were in front of me. And with acceptance came the desire to learn more about it.
-->
Had I really been on the other side? Was it a miracle I came back? An opportunity for a second chance in life to do something meaningful I had not considered before? Seeking information and education, I talked to numerous people who might have had, or knew someone with a NDE and perhaps like me saw and heard things which physically didn’t exist.
Fortunately since then, books such as Dr. Raymond Moody Jr.’s 1975 bestseller, Life After Life, and more recently Anita Moorjani’s 2012 To Heaven and Back validate and afford a kinder response to those who have experienced NDE. Reading Dr. Moody’s many case studies calmed my anxiety. I learned there were many individuals worldwide, and throughout history with similar experiences to mine.
A survey in US News World Report of March 1997 reported 15 million people have experienced NDE.
