Maybe I am a Seer…

The other day I started compiling a list of release dates for my books, because we were considering doing fun posts on the anniversaries of each book. Of course, I used this blog to determine most of them, because this has been a diary of sorts throughout the whole publishing journey.

That meant that I found some funny tidbits, one of which I thought I’d share, because I laughed when I read it. It was in a post called ‘Just Keep Writing‘ written in August, 2015, when I was starting to write The Twin Flame Retreat. I had decided that instead of spending so much time trying to market my books, I’d keep writing new ones instead (a realisation I’ve had many times since, still not properly implementing) and then I said this:

Also, my numbers for the Earth Angel series have changed. I am now thinking that there is likely to be thirteen books in the series in total, and if I were to stick to my current formula of publishing one Earth Angel book per year, I figure it will be 2023 before the final book is released. That is just too far away!

Seems I may have been spot on. Because there will be 13 books in total, so far there are 10 novels and the handbook, so book 11 and book 12 (handbook is book 13) will be coming out, and chances are, at this rate, they’ll be coming out next year. In 2023.

So prehaps, like Velvet, I am a Seer. Who has forgotten she can See. Which makes me wonder what else I might have predicted in this blog…

But yes, books 11 and 12 will come. And I promise there won’t be too much longer to wait. I know how frustrating it is to wait for the next book in the series, there’s a book by my favourite author in my teens that I’m still waiting for. It’s ben 22 years. And that’s far too long to wait for the conclusion of a series!

I won’t do that to you. Promise.

You are not a Demon

Honestly. You’re not.

If you are interested in Earth Angels, then chances are you might have encountered Doreen Virtue’s work, and you might have followed her recent conversion to Christianity. If you haven’t and you have no idea what I’m talking about, then feel free to ignore this post!

I had absolutely no issue with Doreen changing her beliefs. I am thankful for her books on Earth Angels, as they helped me to understand who I am and why I am here, and inspired my books and my work. When she converted I didn’t have an opinion on it – she is completely entitled to believe whatever she wishes to.

However, in January, she released an article on New Age practices that should be avoided, and it cause a huge stir in the spiritual community, because despite professing to be coming from love, it basically said that if you practised anything ‘new age’ you were possessed by demons or doing the devil’s work.

And I have a slight issue with that.

Just because Doreen no longer believes in Earth Angels, and is now a devout Christian, does not mean that it is right or loving to vilify the many people who do believe in faeries and angels, who practice yoga, Feng Shui, meditation, EFT, Wicca or any of the many things that made her list.

I do not believe that we are here on the planet to suffer or to carry around our burdens, which is what her article seems to suggest. We Earth Angels came here to help others, and that is what we do through our missions, whether they involve healing, oracle card reading or chakra balancing.

So while I respect Doreen has the right to her beliefs and views, I don’t respect her needlessly demonising others’ beliefs in order to validate her own.

I created a short video to discuss this, and after this post and video, I don’t intend to discuss it again. It is possible that the article was created purely to stir up negativity as a publicity stunt, in which case, I’d rather not give it any more energy than it has already received. But I felt the need to address it, because it does affect me, the readers of my books and the viewers of EarthAngelTV.

I would like to say – you are a divine spark of light, you are doing the very best you can, you are helping others with your love and wisdom, and do not let anyone – even someone whose work has helped you, who you have admired or respected – tell you otherwise.

So much love to you.xx

Money Tips for Earth Angels

I have a lot of Earth Angel friends, many of whom have issues with money. The topic of money is one often forefront in my own mind, as I too, have struggled with it.

Making it, managing it, saving it, charging the right amount, investing it.

I have no issues with spending it, of course!

The reason I believe that Earth Angels have these issues is because they come from realms, dimensions and planets where there is no such thing as money. Either their needs were taken care of effortlessly, no exchange needed, or perhaps there was a bartering system in place. But in most cases, every soul would be taken care of, regardless of their abilities or age/gender/qualifications if those things exist where they originate from.

And so money is a bit of a foreign concept. The idea of having to do something to earn bits of paper and coins, and then using those bits of paper and coins to get food and shelter and clothing is a weird idea to most Earth Angels. Many say that the younger generations act as though they are ‘entitled’ and they don’t want to work hard to earn their keep. My thoughts are that the younger generations are simply Earth Angels who are used to having their basic needs met without needing to work for hours a week in a job that is not in line with their purpose on the planet.

Of course, many might also call me delusional and crazy. (and indeed, they already have) But I think this theory does explain a lot. In general, Earth Angels are not good with finances, and so we must learn how to be. Because we currently live in a world where money is the currency, and so if we wish to thrive and fulfil our purpose, we must learn how to make it, manage it, save it, invest it and use it to our benefit and the benefit of others.

Though it may feel like a struggle to learn how to do this, I believe that once you have cleared old beliefs and blocks (I recommend using EFT to do so) money, or the lack of it, will no longer hold you back.

In January 2019 I released four videos on EarthAngelTV on money tips for Earth Angels, have a watch and see if the information is helpful to you in any way. Because I would love for you live in wealth and abundance, your needs met effortlessly and every day a joy to live.

Linen & Aria’s Faerie Book Club

A while ago, I had the idea of starting a book club. And like many of my ideas, I just didn’t get the time to make it a reality. But now I am!

Starting in March 2019, the Linen & Aria Faerie Book Club on Facebook will explore the Earth Angel Series in greater depth, reading and discussing one book a month. There will be live sessions and discussions and readers can ask me anything they want about the series.

I’m really excited about the book club because it will give me a chance to re-read the books, revisit the characters and interact more with my amazing readers who helped to shape the series.

If you have read and loved the series, or not even started reading them yet, please do join us! I would love to see you there.

 

Do you have Angelic Compulsive Disorder?

On EarthAngelTV, I interviewed Roberta Smart, a beautiful Earth Angel, Coach and Comedienne. During this interview, (which was so much fun to do!) she hit upon something that most Earth Angels suffer from. And the name she gave it was – Angelic Compulsive Disorder. ACD. It is the compulsion that Earth Angels have to help others, to make other people’s lives better, and to be of service, even when it is detrimental to their own health and wellbeing.

Roberta came back on EarthAngelTV later to talk a bit more about ACD, and she has now put together a course for Earth Angels who feel they have ACD and wish to learn how to control it and take better care of themselves. You can find out more about the course here, and please do join Roberta’s Facebook group to connect with others in a similar situation.

Though helping others is an inbuilt programme for most Earth Angels, it really isn’t necessary for them to run themselves into the ground for the sake of everyone else. So please, if you feel like you are exhausting yourself to be of service to others, take a step back, say no to requests for help and put your own needs first. At least until you have regained your health and energy. Because you are important, and so is your wellbeing.

EarthAngelTV is coming soon!

On the first of September 2018, I will be launching my TV show – EarthAngelTV! For the first week there will be a video released each day, then there will be a video released every Friday. These videos will contain information on Earth Angels and Twin Flames, and I will touch on different topics and questions in each one. If you would like to ask a question, contact me!

There will also be interviews released on my channel in-between the weekly videos, and other bonus content too! I am so excited to be launching this, I hope it helps more Earth Angels realise who they really are and how amazing they are, coming to this crazy planet to help people!

Here is the promo, I hope you will subscribe to my YouTube channel to receive notifications on new episodes.

The end of an era

A month ago I released the final book in my Earth Angel Series – book 10, The Twin Flame Resolution.

What a ride it has been! 9 years of writing, 7 years of publishing, 10 books, 607,158 words, 158 characters.

I haven’t really known how to feel for the last few weeks. In the run up to publication I was so excited, because this meant I could now turn to other projects that have been impatiently waiting in the wings. I was also excited because I knew that book 10 held some ideas that were bound to annoy people. (Not that I love annoying people, but I do love a good twist)

But once it was out there in the world, I felt… sad.

This world of faeries, angels, starpeople and old souls has been my home for nearly a decade, and I love the characters, the places and the stories. So I felt a bit lost. Even though I already have three books lined up to release by Christmas, so it’s not like I don’t have plenty to be getting on with.

I feel the same way when I finish watching seasons of TV shows. Or a series of books I have followed for years. There’s a sense of completion but also a sense of loss. Because now it’s time to return to the ‘real’ world, and leave the characters behind within the pages. At least there is a sense of completion. There is a series of books I read as a teenager, which was never completed. 18 years later, I still await the final book!

If you have been reading the Earth Angel Series, how do you feel about it completing? And what did you think of book 10? (Try not to give too many spoilers 😉 ) Let me know in the comments below.

No doubt I will spring back, and I will try to blog a little more regularly! In fact, I have been working on a brand new project that will be released in Sept, look out for posts on that soon!

Cover Reveal for Book 10

I promised to reveal the cover for book 10 soon, and here it is! The book is now finally finished, and it is being edited at the moment, which is cutting it a bit fine to make the 1st July publishing date, but I promise I will not be letting you down! I finished writing it nine years and a day after I finished writing The Earth Angel Training Academy, and I will be publishing book 10 on the 7th Anniversary of the publishing of book 1. I like a bit of symmetry!

Book 10 is the last book in the Earth Angel Series for the foreseeable future. If the story for book 11 arrives, I will of course write it, but I feel that this book brings all the stories full circle, and as sad as I am to say goodbye to my characters, I have so many more book projects awaiting, I am excited to be able to expand the Visionary Collection and to finish writing my children’s series too.

I cannot wait to see what my readers think of book 10. I have been calling it the marmite of the series, because I think it will either be loved or hated… I really enjoyed writing it (despite the resulting RSI!) and I hope you agree it’s the perfect ending to rather a wild adventure we have been on for the last 7 years. (9 years for me!)

How do the covers make you feel? The US cover came from a design I originally considered for book 9, but I loved the circle of fire, and the feeling of completion it gives. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Sorry, I have been a bit busy…

… but that’s still no excuse for the lack of blog posts, and I do apologise. I will warn you though, this might be a long update, so grab a cuppa!

So a few weeks ago, I was approached by a journalist from the Daily Mail, who was writing a piece about Earth Angels, and wanted me to take part. I said yes, because my entire purpose revolves around helping Earth Angels to Awaken and realise who they really are, and how best to do that than to be in a national newspaper? So along with three other fabulous Earth Angels (my soul sisters Sarah Rebecca Vine, Kelly Draper and Ruth Bradshaw) I was featured in a double page spread in the Femail section of the paper.

It was a very positive piece, and I was pleased with the result! Doing the photoshoot was a lot of fun, and it was great to see Kelly and Sarah and to meet Ruth. The team who did the shoot were really amazing and really looked after us. Here are some of the behind the scenes shots, and you can read the article online here.

Well, when the article came out, the response was quite amazing! It was discussed on TV and Radio that day, including on the Wright Stuff and Loose Women. The discussion on Loose Women was really positive and Gloria Hunniford tells the story below, and they did a poll, which said that 80% people who voted believed in Angels!

The discussion on the Wright Stuff was less favourable, but it sparked a phone in and got people talking! All in all, an amazing reaction to the piece. I admit, I didn’t read the comments on the Daily Mail site! I was asked to go on a couple of radio shows, and then the piece was also reprinted in South Africa:

Then by the end of the day that the paper came out, we got a call from This Morning – they wanted us to come on the show! Fast forward to last Wednesday, and myself, Sarah and Ruth appeared on This Morning, with Holly and Phil! It was really great fun, the whole team there were so amazing (all Earth Angels, I have no doubt!) and the interview went really well.

Here’s the YouTube clip of the interview:

Philip was actually loving the idea of being an Earth Angel, and he was really lovely! The piece was also covered by pretty much every newspaper online, which was unexpected! And even more unexpected was the positive tone the majority of the papers had! I have read some of the tweets and comments, most of the negative ones say we’re nuts and should be locked away, but there were some really sweet ones too. The whole show had an Earth Angel theme, as Kim Wilde was interviewed after us, and her new album was inspired by a UFO encounter! They also did a phone in and there were some amazing stories shared about angelic encounters. All in all, it was an amazing experience and we all really had so much fun. I also loved the wings!

Here’s some pics!

 

I think that’s everything! Oh, and I started the Fan Club again, it filled up quickly and I am enjoying creating the handmade goodies. And yes, I promise that Book 10 is still coming out on the 1st July, I will be focussing on getting it done in the next week. I already have the covers sorted – I will reveal those very soon! This summer I am doing a lot of Mind Body & Spirit shows and festivals, and I post about those on Facebook. I am also offering Unicorn Workshops, you can see the dates available for those here. 

I will do my best to blog again soon, I’ve really missed it! It’s just been an epically busy year so far, but I am doing my best to make more time for the things I enjoy and to stay connected with your beautiful self!

Until next time…
