In this episode, Mackenzie and Lisa are joined by guest host Stephen Graham Jones to discuss Ken Greenhall's Elizabeth. This novel is wonderfully uncomfortable and you won't want to miss our chat. Book Description: "'If you were to go into your bedroom tonight – perhaps by candlelight – and sit quietly before the large mirror, you might see what I have seen. Sit patiently, looking neither at yourself nor at the glass. You might notice that the image is not yours, but that of an exceptional person who lived at some other time . . .' "The image in the mirror of fourteen-year-old Elizabeth Cuttner is that of the fey and long-dead Frances, who introduces Elizabeth to her chilling world of the supernatural. Through Frances, Elizabeth learns what it is to wield power – power of a kind that is malevolent and seemingly invincible. Power that begins with the killing of her parents . . . "First published in 1976, Ken Greenhall's debut novel Elizabeth is a lost classic of modern horror fiction that deserves rediscovery." About SGJ: Stephen Graham Jones is the author of sixteen novels, six story collections, and, so far, one comic book.

On August 26th, the last Tuesday of this most powerful month at 4:00 p.m. we will have an award-winning author, Llyn Roberts joining us LIVE!  She is a prominent teacher of healing and shamanism who has worked in remote locations with indigenous shamanic people.  Her books are many and these are a few of them: The Good Remembering, Shamanic Reiki, and the 2012 Independent Publishers Award-winning, Shapeshifting into Higher Consciousness. She is a modern-day mystic and spiritual ecologist.  Llyn has lived for two years at the edge of the wilderness in the Hoh Rain Forest, Pacific Northwest.  She has trained extensively with Ecuadorian Quechua healers and facilitated sacred journeys to indigenous people living in remote regions of the Amazon, the Asian Steppes, High Andes, and in ancient Maya lands.   She has translated these ancient techniques into modern day practices to help people transform their own personal imbalances, opening them into their higher purpose, and helps them deepen to their personal relationship to spirit and to nature.  I have read the book “Shapeshifting into Higher Consciousness” and it has changed me from the inside out.  Please join me and our special guest on August 26th at 4:00.  And please call in if you have a question or a comment.  The number to call is 213-559-2974.  Tell your friends and family about this fantastic guest that will be on the “Pure Hope Show”
