Is your story in
my memoir
CARDBOARD PROPHET
Tarot Psychic to the
Rich and Famous
After
working
many years as an international psychic, tarot reader, astrologer, and
metaphysical teacher,
I took time out from April of 2004 until September 2007 to devote myself
entirely to writing. Three more novels have been completed so far, two screenplays, and my memoir, in addition to
the development or outlines on several other books and screenplays. My clients
have always come from many different professions and occupations, which includes celebrated actors, authors,
designers, journalists, politicians, and royalty from various countries, as well
as those from all walks of life
from all over the world. I've only recently returned to doing readings a couple
of days
a week. Actually, I missed talking to many of my wonderful clients, and now, I
have a chance to meet even more interesting individuals. How lucky can one psychic
be?
Early on
in my life I was a playwright. I won second place
in a play contest with the first play I ever wrote, a three act comedy called
Sidney that was later published by
Eldridge Publishing. A few years later my romantic comedy Love is Contagious was
produced at the Glendale Center Theater in southern California to rewarding reviews,
which convinced the
Dramatist Play Service to publish the play. Royalty checks have been received
bi-yearly for
many, many years. My first love has always been writing: plays, novels, books on the tarot,
screenplays and plays. It's fun to make people laugh, cry, or think, with my primary motive to
entertain or enlighten. I think that's been true in
giving psychic readings too since 1966! I'm now working on my second century of
letting people know that there truly are other states of awareness and dimensions
beyond the three in which most of us dwell on a daily basis. It
pleases me immensely that even the pragmatic scientists and physicists are finally waking up to ten, or
even twenty-six, other dimensions, to parallel
worlds and universe upon universe into infinity. It's about time, I say!
I've been featured in many
articles in various newspapers and magazines in this country and other countries
as well, as a psychic-astrologer-tarot reader. Those articles include the New York Times Magazine,
Washington Post, Washington Times, Houston Chronicle, Washingtonian
magazine, People, Women's World, McCall's, The Star, The National Enquirer,
Empire Magazine (UK) and You
magazine of the
London Daily Mail to name a few. I'm featured in psychic researcher
Jess Stearn's books, The Miracle Workers and Soulmates, in
conjunction with my
friend actress Susan
Strasberg, who also included me in her autobiography, Bittersweet, which
was also featured in People Magazine. Another friend, Sheila Weidenfeld, included me in her
autobiographical account of being Betty Ford's press secretary, First Lady's Lady.
Our friendship first bloomed during President Ford's administration. Another
friend, astrologer Jeanne Avery, has me featured in The Rising
Sign and Astrological Aspects, two of her many enlightening books on
astrology and reincarnation. In
Time-Life Books' Mysteries
of the Unknown I'm featured in the volume Psychic Powers as one of the "psychic elite."
Throughout the years I’ve
appeared on many different radio and television shows: Mid-Day in New York, People Are
Talking in Baltimore (where I was on with Oprah Winfrey several times when
she co-hosted); People Are Talking in Boston, Pittsburgh Today, The
Panorama Show and Carol Randolph Show in Washington, DC, Sally
Jessy Raphael in St. Louis, and many other shows in cities across
the nation. In Hong
Kong in 1994, I appeared on radio and worked with many diverse and interesting people
on
that multi-cultural island. I did my
own book tour for The Wheel of Destiny: The Tarot Reveals Your Master Plan,
Llewellyn Publications, 1991, in US cities, London and Frankfurt. I signed books at the Book Expo in New York City, a
first for Llewellyn. That year I was also on BBC Radio in the UK.
Then in 1995 I was
featured on the Discovery Channel in the Strictly Supernatural series on
Tarot, which was also sold as a video. During more recent years I appeared on The Learning Channel, CBS
Early Show, Discovery Science Channel, and several other radio shows, including
Satellite XM.
It took me a number of years to complete The Wheel of Destiny, but
it was a book I felt was owed to my students, as well as those who might follow in my profession.
It was important to me to record my interpretation of the Master Spread with the Tarot Major Arcana,
which came to me
in a state of deep meditation. When I first laid out my own Master Spread I was astonished by what the cards revealed. Soon I
was doing Master Spreads for many of my clients with amazing
results, and many of their past lives surfaced during those readings. The
insights are sometimes remarkable and nearly always enlightening. My current fee
for the Master Spread is $1,000 (US), since it takes several hours and
considerable preparation. However, if you buy the book, on a day when you have
uninterrupted time to spare, you can do your own Master Spread. Simply
read the first three chapters, and then look up the various meanings of each
placement in your spread. In writing the book I had tremendous help
from the Inner Planes and Higher Dimensions, from spirit guides and Masters.
Part of the book
was actually "channeled," because later, after reading what was written, I
was sometimes surprised to learn something new myself!
The book ships Priority Mail in the USA for $32, Internationally for $36. Checks, money orders
or credit cards are now accepted. You

I thought I was starting to write a short story when I began my first novel,
The Recycling of Rosalie. Up until then I'd only written plays an
d
had already started two tarot books. The novel was something of a challenge, but
was great fun
to write. Writing is sort of like playing God, because the writer is able to create all the
characters and all their dilemmas in developing a story. You decide who lives and who dies,
or else, your characters may decide after you've created them. The
novel is a love
story about life and love after death, with astral workers, nature spirits,
guardian angels, and a sort of Cosmic mother figure in charge at that level on
the other side.
Since I'd always written comedy, Rosalie Rosenberg is a pretty funny girl in her
discovery of different aspects of the mysteries of love and living in many different
dimensions. The story has been optioned for film three times with current
interest by a major Hollywood actress. The decision to self-publish the novel
was made soon after my friend Susan
Strasberg died in 1999. She was the one who couldn't wait to read every new chapter. She pushed all my confidence buttons that year.
Plus, that summer I was dating a handsome Leo publisher who said I'd done an excellent
job editing my own material. I wonder where Tim Welch is hanging out these days?
Still publishing books maybe? That summer he was making the deal on President Richard
Nixon's memoir for millions! After all, Timothy Welch was a definite charmer and no slouch!
During a telephone conversation with Susan ten days before her transition, she
said, "You
really do need to do something with your story. People honestly need to read it."
Her
untimely
"graduation" forced my hand in that regard. I remembered all those days when Susan
would drive over to my house in Encino,
fix herself a cup of tea, and take the latest rough draft on a new chapter to
my room to learn what was happening next in the story. There were times that she laughed out
loud, others times when she cried,
saying I'd written a highly commercial story. The novel is dedicated to my
children and to Susan's memory. This book ships first class for $16 in the US.

have to say about my first novel that was such a joy to write.
My
exposure to metaphysics and astrology began shortly after I was born when my
horoscope was drawn in my baby book by a nurse in the hospital. The story of
my life's journey is described more fully and accurately in my memoir:
CARDBOARD PROPHET — Tarot Psychic to the Rich
& Famous,
which includes many amazing anecdotes and stories about those who strongly influenced my
life, as well as some of the more amazing predictions made to some of my clients that
came true with astounding accuracy. As my older grandchildren, my daughter Tomi's four: Oliver, Jonah, Shaina and Lydia
Brassard, started to grow up, I began telling them stories about many of my unusual
life experiences, especially those that related to psychic events and dimensions beyond what is
considered the norm by most. During the past several years each of those grandchildren, together and separately,
said that I should write a
book about my extraordinary life and the many fascinating individuals who have
managed to keep me on my
unusual yet wondrous path. Many of my life experiences seemed truly unique, or
even possibly unbelievable, to my elder grandchildren. And, when it comes right
down to it, honest and truly, some of my life experiences appeared absolutely
miraculous even to me during the time that some of them were taking place. Looking back
over the many years that have passed me by, it is plain to see that I have
been completely and utterly blessed, even during those times when I may have
been totally ignorant of that fact. Hindsight is sometimes better than for
foresight even for a clairvoyant!
When my work with the paranormal aspects of
life and consciousness first started, I had no idea of how far
my
spiritual journey was going to take me, or of how much
I was actually going to learn along the circuitous and wondrous path. In the process I have been fortunate
enough to meet
many fabulous and incredible people from all walks of life
the world over. Some have traveled far to consult with me, while others were met in their
distant
lands where readings were done at dining room tables or in a hotel room! It seems
to me that my
journey has been quite long and sometimes challenging, but interesting and informative
each and every step of the way.
And, in the process,
I have been privileged to go to places that
I had never expected to go where I met
people that I had never ever expected to meet. My journey has provided me with
countless interesting and amazing tales to tell, some of them set in the recent or the distant past,
with some in other finer dimensions.
Soon you too shall be able to read of my many life experiences that involved the
rich, the famous, the notorious, the unique and the truly extraordinary in my memoir,
CARDBOARD PROPHET

Tarot Psychic to the Rich & Famous.
