My connection with angels
Everyone seems to have a day, a date, a week or maybe some special occasion when angels come into their lives. It might be that a friend buys them a book about angels or perhaps a book falls off a shelf at their feet. Maybe for you this book is the first time you’ve taken an interest in angels, or maybe you had an experience personally or watched a television programme about guardian angels. Something or someone triggers our interest. When the time is right we discover angels, or maybe they draw attention to themselves so that we can see they are around.
For me, this interest has long bordered on the obsessive, but that’s a whole other story … Oh, go on then, I’ll explain briefly, although I have written about my own angelic story previously, so do forgive me if you’ve read about this before – I’ll keep it brief! I was watching a day-time chat show on TV and the guest was talking about angels. While I was watching the show I recalled an experience of my own that happened around the age of five. I was on a family holiday and floating around in the sea (wearing a swimming aid), and I found myself being pulled further and further out in the water. I realised I could no longer touch the seabed and was unable to get myself back to shore. A voice in my head suggested that if I wanted to die I could; alternatively, ‘they’ would help me back to shore. I chose life and within no time at all found that I was being pushed back to shore with little help from me (a non-swimmer). That was the voice of an angel. An angel who saved my life. In fact, An Angel Saved My Life became the title of one of my books on the subject, and I haven’t looked back since.
That was my first experience, and as I watched television that day the whole memory flooded back to me. Over the course of the next week or two I did a lot of research into the phenomena and had many more experiences after that. It was in the early days of home computers and the internet and I was lucky enough to be the only one of my friends to have access to both. I created a website, started collecting other people’s experiences and the rest, as they say, is history. Sharing stories of angels became my life, and since that time I’ve written piles and piles of books on the subject; I write an angel column (in the UK magazine Take a Break’s Fate & Fortune) and I’ve also published hundreds of articles on the subject.
I’ve appeared as a guest on several hundred radio shows (both in the UK and abroad) and been a regular guest on many more TV shows to talk about my favourite subject: angels and the afterlife! The subject continues to excite me. You’ll find my articles all over the internet as well as features and interviews I’ve done in magazines and newspapers, both in the UK and around the world. I’ve met and worked with many famous names and often get recognised myself (which is always thrilling). If you spot me, do pop over and say hello! I’ve had people run across the street because they recognise me; others have spotted me in supermarket queues, and once in a public toilet (no, I don’t sign autographs in the toilet, but wait until I leave the facilities and I’ll happily chat!).
In the early days of my career I met, interviewed (for magazines) and worked with some of the best-known people in the business. One of my favourites was the late Colin Fry. Colin was a spiritual medium whom many of you will have heard of. His television series 6ixth Sense with Colin Fry was shown all over the world, with episodes repeated over and over on various channels. He went on to film programmes with other well-known names in the psychic world (friends of his and mine), including Derek Acorah, Tony Stockwell and T.J. (Tracy) Higgs.
