Guest Author Gwen M. Plano #newbook The Soul Whisperer’s Decision

~ John W. Howell

I am pleased to have Gwen Plano visiting today. She is out and about talking about her new book, The Soul Whisperer’s Decision. Please welcome Gwen.

Thank you, John. Before we look at the blurb, I want to give your readers some background on the book.

I have a special interest in the Near-Death Experience phenomenon. Since the 1980s, I’ve read original research of accounts, and I’ve also read numerous books by survivors. Though I’ve not experienced an NDE, I’ve had several inexplicable experiences of a loving presence at times of great duress.

For ten years, 2002 – 2012, I was an administrator at a college near Camp Pendleton in California. I worked directly with the Marine veterans and, to a lesser degree, veterans from the other branches of the military. I quickly discovered that almost all the Marines suffered PTSD and/or physical injuries from their service in Iraq or Afghanistan. I became their advocate and tried to provide a ‘safe’ place for the veterans to meet, hang out, and process. To this day, my experience with the veterans remains the highlight of my thirty years in Higher Education.

When I wrote The Soul Whisperer’s Decision, I sought to illuminate the struggles of those who have experienced extreme violence. And, as well, I tried to show the healing power of love. None of us can erase our past or another’s, but by our choices, we can carve a hopeful future for ourselves and others.

BLURB:

Sarah Jameson, a nurse at County Central Hospital, survives an accident that kills her two young children. While comatose, she travels into the heavenly realm, where she visits with her precious little ones. She is given a choice – return to her husband, Jack, or remain with her children in their celestial home.

Jack was not in the fated automobile. Though he heard the crash and ran to help, there was nothing he could do. He suffers the loss of his children, fears the potential demise of his wife, and wonders about his own sanity. His struggle with PTSD from his military years has returned, and at times, he cannot distinguish between the present and the past.

An accident tragically changed the lives of this young family, but out of sorrow emerges unexpected blessings.

    1. Thank you for the visit Thomas. I was very interested in your blog when I visited. I am a lover of IPA’s and my current favorite is VooDoo Ranger Imperial. I enjoyed your discussion and pics of various brands many of which I have tried. Thanks again.

  31. I’ve seen Gwen’s smiling face on bookish blogs often and have a great impression of her work. I believe in the healing power of love as an antidote to violence and hate; one of the writers in my writing group wrote of his grand-daughter’s near-death experience.The blurb entices me to learn more. Thank you, John, for hosting. 😀
