DIANA – THE VOICE OF CHANGE ……isn’t just another biographical account of Diana’s life, but rather it is a deeper exploration of the unique idiosyncrasies, extraordinary events, and changes of destiny that created a flow of force by which Diana evolved, transmuting from being the Peoples Princess into the Queen of Everybody’s Heart, and so to beyond her death………

It is written by the legendary Voice Coach: Stewart Pearce, who confidentially coached Diana during the last two years of her life, adding both a physical and metaphysical support to Diana’s vast transformation. This we palpably saw, as she moved from the demure and pained young woman, seen in the Martin Bashir interview, to the assured, powerful humanitarian leader witnessed in July 1997. For Diana’s voice revolutionized both the African Landmine issue, and the face of the Global Aids epidemic, and irrespective of her HRH title being removed, Diana acquired such public support that her voice of freedom almost toppled Queen Elizabeth, and exposed the anachronisms of the Windsor Household!



The book answers volatile questions such as:

Why was the marriage of a century known as a Fairy Tale?

Why was Diana the most photographed woman in recorded history?

Was Diana murdered?

Why did her incandescent love affect so many, and where did it come from?

What was the extraordinary energy that affected 5.9 billion people during August 31st and September 6th, 1997?

What has happened to Diana’s voice post-death, the resonance of which appears to have precipitated significant social movements, such as the #METOOCAMPAIGN?



The book is packed with Vocal Exercises, Sound Meditations, and Presence Techniques, which allowed Diana to become the spell-binding, radiant being that she became – about which Henry Kissinger said: “ I remember, Diana was a beautiful young woman whose blue eyes melted grown men’s bones!”


The content of this book is seen as a developing work, which will eventually evolve to become a series of workshops known as THE DIANA HEART PATH

Review

Something that sticks out to me with this book is that when Stewart Pearce mentions this is not just another biographical account of Diana's life, he is not lying. You will be blown away by the amount of information and helpful practices you will pick up from reading this book. Diana is such a huge draw as a person, word-wide. Learning more about her is rewarding, especially in the way Pearce has put together this book. I thoroughly enjoyed this unexpected gem.

He’s everything I’m not, and then some — a budding musician, he’s cocky and arrogant. He’s at ease in every situation and treats me like I’m the only person who exists.
Together we’re in sync with everything we do and I’m falling hard and fast for him.

Excerpt

"Are you seriously reading my text? You know that's an invasion of privacy," she said. 
She was angry, which told me she was as frustrated as I was. 
"What if I am? Maybe I'm looking out for you. You shouldn't meet random dudes alone. Who knows what he's capable of?"
"You're insane. He's a super nice guy. He didn't even do anything. Your bully of a bouncer made it into a big thing and now he feels terrible."
"My bully of a bouncer? He saved your ass. And he was doing me a favor, so you're welcome," I said, dropping my book on the table. 
"I knew you were behind it. Have you always been a hypocrite, or is this new for you?"
I laughed. She was fucking hilarious. "I think always is safe."
"You had a naked girl in your room yesterday. Why do you care who I talk to?"
"I don't know." It was the truth.
"Wow. What a great answer. Let me know when you figure it out. Can we get to work? I have a friend to meet for coffee at noon." She gave me a fake smile and responded to the douchebag.

Outpost Gypsy Tree: The North Portal
YA Fantasy Adventure
Publisher: GISA Publishing

 photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

Nestled within a thought-form in Earth’s vast realm, Outpost Gypsy Tree becomes home for six adventurous teenagers from various parts of the world. Charged by their own desire for peace and love for humanity, they are assigned to clear the earth’s light portals of the evils of mankind, starting with the North Portal. To do so, the teens must journey back in time to the winter solstice of 3107 BCE to decode an archaic sequence at Ireland's historic Newgrange that will unlock a Neolithic chamber leading them to the ‘other world’ of the gods of Erin. To prove their worthiness, courage, and commitment to battle the darkness, they must journey through the traitorous Cave of Damnation and face an encroaching inferno. At the core of this bizarre journey is the staff of Outpost Gypsy Tree: Eittod of Tulsun Minor, an ancient being with a rainbow-colored body, and Bezen and her son, Mingo, inhabitants of Early Earth.



This is a book for all ages.

A nice clean treat for fans of Young Adult Fantasy.

Excerpt

“We’ve never kissed.”
Oh God. My stomach plummeted with the minor chords. “No.”
“And physically we don’t know if we are even compatible.” His gaze swept over me. “I mean, you’re a wee lass.”
“Wee lass! Don’t you…”
“But.” His gaze intensified. Heaven crashed to earth and obliterated us.
“But?” Shaky and wanton, I warmed on the inside like a chocolate fondue.
“Since I’ve known you, it’s been the most natural thing to hold your hand. From the earliest days even when I knew I shouldn’t, I still did it. It felt like nothing and everything all at once.”
I breathed in slow. Lest I might pass out.
“So I think if holding your hand feels like everything, then what happens if I do this?”
I forced myself to maintain eye contact as, with his free hand, he used a finger to trail up my throat and along the edge of my coat collar. I held in my breath as he then ran it along my cheekbone, around my ear, slipping into my hair.
“You almost kissed me once.” I stuttered the words, each syllable gushed with the pound of my heart.
“I know.” I could taste his breath, feel the warmth of his mouth hovering just above mine. Sweet Sake and Matthew combined. I wanted to inhale him.
