Early on, Pattie McLaine had no real clue about what Destiny had in store for her—no clear remembrance of a promise made to the Universe long before she was born—a promise to try to help people again and shed Light—as she had in many other lifetimes.

Wonderful and mysterious events took place from the day that she was born−revealed within the pages of this book. To Pattie, they amounted to what seemed to be a clever, capricious and cunning scheme—if not an Absolute Cosmic Conspiracy!

“Through this memoir Pattie shares her life which many of us only dream about. She has traveled the world, been a confidant and advisor to diplomats, dignitaries, Hollywood stars and countless men and women from all walks of life.  She also has love, laughter and an insatiable desire to open our minds to the power of the Universe. Patricia McLaine is one extraordinary woman.”    Maggie Linton, Program Director – Sirius XM Book Radio and Host – Maggie Linton Show

"Pattie McLaine is that rare psychic who puts you in touch not just with your future but with yourself. Happily, she has seen and helped me see when even the darkest experience would lead to something I would learn from. She has been accurate about travel, love, God and money, not necessarily in that order...what more could anyone ask?"                                                            Gwen Davis, author.

“Pattie McLaine is a woman of extraordinary talent and insight.  Her very readable and engaging memoir is full of fascinating stories about her interesting and famous clientele. Even if you don't believe in the paranormal, this book is a fun read which I highly recommend.”                                           Sheila Weidenfeld

Email: 6/5/2011: "Thank you so much for speaking with me yesterday. My guides were definitely behind making this introduction!! Your guidance is very much appreciated and really helped me calm down. By the way, I purchased your Cosmic Conspiracy on Kindle yesterday and was up to 2 am reading it!  I am determined to finish it today. Love it!"                                               Laura, CA

Email: 2/19/2011: "I just finished reading your memoir. Boy, you really have traveled extensively, in many ways. I enjoyed reading it very much."  Evelyn, PA                     

Facebook: 3/14/2011: "Took Cosmic Conspiracy with me on my cruise and am hooked! Great book...I can't wait to dig back in."         Kathy, TX

Email: posted on Amazon: In her memoir, Pattie McLaine accomplishes the difficult feat of not only engaging the reader through the narration of her own adventures and connections with a laundry list of the rich and famous, but by helping us to understand that our own life and the choices we make will impact us well past this chapter of our existence.  Through her gift, we get to learn vicariously through stories of other people's triumphs and mistakes.  I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to think deeply and laugh at the same time!                                                                   Danielle, CA

Email: 4/4/2011: I started reading your book yesterday and couldn't put it down until I finished it. When I picked up the book it opened to chapter 7 and that is where I began reading. I have to believe you had something to do with that.  Its a great book and very easy to read. I enjoyed all of it. UFOs are always a touchy subject in the Airlines. Some scoff at the idea, but others who had sightings knew better. I was always cautious to bring up the subject, but a few ex fighter types told me of chase sequences that never got close. My experience, as I once told you, was at age 11 in Chicago. We had a clear view of a black saucer UFO flying squares around a B-36 westbound for Glenview Air Base just north of O'Hare. The pilots of the B36 never saw the object, according to the newspaper reports the next day. Two things stood out besides the ability to fly squares around the airplane: One, it was a black saucer almost as large as the airplane. Second, when it departed, it went up and out at a speed I cannot guess at today. It must have accelerated to warp speed. Black stood out because it reminded me of our spy aircraft, all painted black. It was 30 years before I spoke of the incident after being ridiculed by my classmates.                                                    David, PA

Email: 4/5/2011: Read your Cosmic Conspiracy and loved every page of it.  What an interesting life, and there is obviously a whole lot more to tell.  This book should be an HBO three part movie.                                                            Kathy, VA

REVIEW- DELL Horoscope December 2011, by Chris Lorenz:

Back in the 1960s, Patricia McLaine was a young woman living near Hollywood who had just given up her dream of being a famous actor. But then she latched onto the notion that she could become a great screenwriter. She went to George Darius, a famous psychic in Venice Beach, to ask for a reading, fully expecting a Tony or Oscar for her script. His conclusion startled her: “You’re going to be a famous psychic and travel the world to read for the rich and famous.” As much as she imagined herself as an actress or screenwriter, fate seemed to be pushing her toward being a psychic. It was a cosmic conspiracy. When she began doing readings at age 30, she realized she had some talent for this and has been doing it ever since.

In McLaine’s memoir, Cosmic Conspiracy, she estimates that she has done some thirty to forty thousand readings, and, yes, many of these have been for the rich and famous. Her book is filled with anecdotes about her encounters with Hollywood stars, Washington politicians, and Texas billionaires. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, her predictions about world events appeared in the tabloid, The Star—she learned that when she focused her intention and attention, she could see disasters coming and some of the spectacular events that happen to celebrities in the news.   

Generously sprinkled through her storytelling are the unique perspectives of what being a psychic is all about. Her studies of various paranormal subjects helped her overcome the nay-saying bias of her Mormon background so that she could fine tune her psychic impressions using tarot cards, astrology, numerology, graphology and psychometry. She’s also studied under various spiritual masters to get deeper insights into the Akashic Record, karma, and spirit guides.

Several of her chapters are so densely filled with the names of famous actors, and her brief predictions for them that the reader feels incredulous. This psychic is either very imaginative or very famous in her own right. But her book is also filled with signed photographs of some of the actors she befriended, many of whom she met through her network of friends and famous clients who reported to their famous friends. Perhaps the more interesting chapters are those where she develops the storyline with her closest friends, which include actress Susan Strasberg, Shirley MacLaine and Goldie Hawn.

The author is a Scorpio, and so is Goldie Hawn. One day, Goldie phoned for a reading to ask about her love affair with Bill Hudson. Goldie was pretty sure that “this is it,” but that’s not what she got. As Patricia explains, her job is to tell the truth. When she said that the two would have children together, but they wouldn’t grow old together, Goldie was disappointed and refused to talk to Patricia for years afterwards. How these Scorpios reconciled their friendship is one of the best stories in the book—a tale of amazing synchronicity and truly impressive psychic ability.

Companion Novel to BITTERSWEET SUMMER!

Read BITTERSWEET SUMMER first!

"Dana’s story of steamy loving and sexual independence in the summer of 1967!"

This is one of those books that you want to read from start to finish - Summer of Love:  Dana’s Story.  It is a light read that leads to some interesting moral questions.  Patricia McLaine, the author, does a fabulous job of snatching the reader and immersing them into the world of Dana.  It is easy to get caught up in the plot and characters. 

The story is set in 1967, the summer of love.  Dana Scofield is a film actress whose career is taking off and so is her love life.  Her life is full with developing her acting career, juggling her dating world, to setting up her best friend Paula-an artist.  Dana’s love life gets into full swing quickly and we see her dating a number of men at the same time reinforcing the free love of the ‘60’s.  The author gives us a glimmer of insight to what women experienced in order to gain sexual independence during that time.

We see Dana develop throughout the summer as she learns more about herself with each man she dates and has fun at the same time!  An old flame emerges and causes confusion about what she wants in a relationship and what she wants for her future.  Does she want to marry any of these men or none? 

The conclusion was satisfying and left it open to a sequel that I look forward to.  This novel is in the romance genre and the love scenes are steamy, but not cheesy, and had me heating up, winking at my guy saying, “We’ll try that later.”  There is also a current novel that goes hand-in-hand with this one.  Patricia has written more about Paula, the artist, set in the same summer called Bittersweet Summer: Paula’s Story, also worthy of a read.

And what about the Texas rancher Paula's best friend, actress Dana Scofield, brings into the mix?  Sometimes a woman has to accept the bitter with the sweet—during the bittersweet Summer of Love!

Read this book before SUMMER OF LOVE!

On the book jacket:

"Unrequited lust gets a second chance in this novel that sizzles hotter than the summer sun.  Two people learn that age is not a barrier when desire demands satisfaction.  Add to the heat another man who could hold the keys to a secure future. This book will keep you turning the page from the first word to the last."   Maggie Linton,  Program Director, Sirius XM Book Radio

CLICK & Read the Prologue and first chapter

"A smoking hot romance novel! The innocence of bittersweet love in the summer of 1967."

The author, Patricia McLaine, sets the scene on fire right from the beginning in Bittersweet Summer-Paula's Story.  It is the summer of 1967, the ultimate summer of free love.  Paula is a single mother and up-and-coming artist living in a beach house in California with her two children.  The book starts out with a bang when sparks fly between Paula and her ex-husband’s young hot nephew.

This isn’t a woman who sleeps around though.  Her first love interest is scandalous and Patricia takes the reader through all of the questions that a confused woman faces in a tough situation dealing with self-doubt, responsibility and morality.  Love is not logical but we see Paula trying to decide what is lust and what is love, never an easy choice where passion is involved.  Patricia writes some heavy-duty love scenes making this a solid romance novel. You will never think of the beach at night the same way!

Paula’s friend Dana is her best friend and an intriguing character who knows everything about Paula.  They have an intense connection that some would say is psychic.  The author has also written a novel set in the same summer called Summer of Love-Dana’s Story where readers get a chance to know Dana that summer as well.  Dana happens to introduce Paula to a sexy Texas rancher, sparks fly and the drama continues! Will Paula choose the young hot lover or the driven Texan who knows what he wants?

I won’t give away the ending but the book was a fun read from start to finish.  Paula’s turmoil continues throughout the summer and I eagerly await the next chapter in her life to find out her ultimate choice and if the next summer is bittersweet as well. This is an author to pay attention to.  She is definitely heating up the romance world.

Quotes from the book jacket:

 

"Pattie McLaine is the queen of synchronicity.  In her hands, the Tarot becomes an extremely effective way to tap other-than-conscious realms of psychic functioning."

Richard B. Blasband, M.D.

Psychiatrist

 

 "The many psychic readings I've had with Patricia McLaine have provided me with valuable insight and guidance in every phase of my life, but my Master Reading enabled me to develop a kinder, more accepting attitude toward life and myself, making me a happier person.  I highly recommend the Master Reading to anyone interested in viewing his or her life with greater clarity and compassion."

Email received 4/19/2009: Dear Pattie, I have a copy of your excellent book "The Wheel  of Destiny" and can't believe how you know all this stuff. I laid out the 22 Major Arcana cards recently in three rows of 7, 8  and 7 cards, but was at a loss as how to interpret them. Then decided to give your Master Spread a go and found it works wonderfully. No need for special lay-out or even the intention to use Master Spread before laying the cards it seems.   Many thanks, Michael S. Correll, Sydney, Australia

PASSION AND PRINCIPLE

A Historical Novel By

Patricia McLaine

This is the story of Mary Margaret Kathleen Kelly O’Reilly, a young Pagan Catholic born with a veil (second sight) in Dingle, Ireland in 1798. After the death of her mother, Maggie is raised by her druid midwife Aunt Brigid who teaches her the ways of the Old Religion. This romantic historical tale begins in an Ireland still under British rule, with the oppression of Roman Catholics, and great bitterness among the Irish people who desire, most of all, freedom from the British Crown. Our heroine’s life has numerous twists and turns, triumphs and tragedies. At a young age, Maggie finds herself torn between her passion for her young smuggler and a handsome soldier of the Crown who serves under the Duke of Wellington. This story is rich in the history and the drama of the 1800s in Ireland, Europe, and America between 1798 and 1871.
