Cracking Open Synopsis...

The twisted roller coaster ride called “opening up psychically” started for me the day my Grandmother died.  That one pivotal moment changed me from a materialistic, business-driven agnostic to someone who doubted reality itself.  I began to wonder if the brain I had relied on for so many years had finally set itself out to pasture.

Talking to the dead isn’t a joy ride. It isn’t a theme park pass to chat with Elvis whenever you want, or a ticket to discover the long lost secrets of Atlantis.  It’s a big responsibility, and a task I now hold dear to my heart.

This book is about what happens when one stumbles onto the spiritual path.  I present this book to you, raw, uncensored, and in detail - all the ups and downs of what it is really like to spend your days among the dead. You will find the hours of frustration and the moments of debilitating fear are also met with times of pure bliss when life unfolds to demonstrate the beauty of human potential. 

This book is not some fictional tale “based on a true story.”  This is my life, and I share it with you.
