Meet one of my Favorite Authors ... Steven Kerry Brown!


     Steven Kerry Brown began his investigative career as a special agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. As a special agent and supervisory special agent he worked in Phoenix, Chicago, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. For the last 30 years he has successfully managed his own private investigative firm. He authored The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Private Investigating, non-fiction magazine articles on gambling, and has appeared in the local and national press, including Hard Copy, A Current Affair and on 60 Minutes with Mike Wallace.
     His most recent book, Five Things Women Need to Know About the Men They Date, was published in March, 2013. This book has been a valuable reference book for me - I highly recommend it for every woman, married or not. Lots of great pointers and safety tips!

Do You Believe in Ghosts?

Do you believe in ghosts? After you read my book, The House on Pancake Hill, you can decide for yourself...As for me? I BELIEVE!



A new movie, The Conjuring, which is based on one of the most terrifying investigations that famed Ghost Hunters, Ed & Lorraine Warren conducted, will premiere on July 19th in a 
theater near you! The movie takes place around the time when the Warrens did their investigation on my family home so I am looking forward to seeing it!

The House on Pancake Hill is based on my experiences...stay posted!

The House on Pancake Hill - A teaser...

Who Ya Gonna Call?

     It was a beautiful, crisp autumn day. Chilly, but the skies were a bright blue. The massive maple and oaks had shed their splendid leaves, blanketing the ground with a rich and vibrant quilt of muted colors. The air was filled with excitement. My mother scheduled a meeting with Ed and Lorraine Warren, “Ghost Hunters” from The New England Society for Psychic Research. Mom had read one of their books and called them, inviting them to our home. They were experts in this field. The Amityville Horror case was one of the most famous investigations they did ...

The House on Pancake Hill...my latest book!

Wanted to let you see the original cover photo I chose for my soon to be published book, The House on Pancake Hill... Brian Shea, one of my Writer friends not only possesses an awesome knack for the written word, he is also a talented Graphic Artist! Lucky me that he designed my book cover! Here is the first rough draft he did. (along with the initial "vision" he sketched out)

The cover is FINISHED and you will have to wait until the book is published to see the end results! I am so blown away by what he's done!

“When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” That’s not what Jodi Sykes wanted to hear when she was diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma in 2009.  She didn’t have much energy to do anything at all, especially with an impending divorce. Jodi takes us through her journey and what she learned from it. She put her blogs into a book, “Living La Vida (Lymphoma),”available on Amazon. If you (or someone you love) have received a negative health diagnosis, Jodi can help you Activate the Power of Yes, even when every bone in your body is saying NO.  Call us at 888-558-6489 during the show at 1 p.m. Eastern today. Later, go to: www.unityfm/program/affirmativeprayer where the show will be archived for listener convenience.
