Gosford author Jenny Dixon will highlight her Feather Bower series of books at a special event in Woy Woy on June 22.
Following a successful career in the corporate world of IT, starting as a network operator and moving through the ranks of software systems engineer, marketing, country manager and then director of a consulting company and living in Singapore, she said her heart decided she needed to do some “real work”.
“So I left and began an intense pathway back to myself,” she said.
“Spanning many years I meditated, learned energy healing, became a Reiki Master and assisted many people, completed classes and courses with Deepak Chopra and Anthony Robbins and much more.
“In 2012 whilst walking along Manly Beach I heard dialogue, a story, images, birds and animals chatting.
“Frantically writing day and night so as not to forget, I completed Feather Bower Spirit, thinking that was it.
“Then the dialogue and story continued.
“After a while I trusted the process and knew the story would arrive when I was ready to write.
“The second and third books flowed easily.
“Writer’s block arrived with the fourth book; not surprisingly I discovered I had cancer too – the outside reflecting the inside.
“After dealing with that and attending a reiki retreat, the blocks cleared and Feather Bower Freedom was finished.”
For the next decade Dixon contacted production houses, animation studios, agents and others from around the world.
“The silence was deafening … until now,” she said.
“Recently I received a review from someone in New York who absolutely understands the message, meaning, light and truth of these books and believes in them.
“I had almost given up on the dream but now I too feel renewed energy, enthusiasm and commitment to my purpose and ready for it to be shared through these novels along with the voices of the birds and animals to whom I made a promise that they would be heard.
“There is a fifth book currently in development to complete the series.
To kick off the renewed momentum, Dixon will conduct a book signing event at Gnostic Forest, Woy Woy, from 11am-12.30pm on Sunday, June 22.
