It&#8217;s the book I spent over a decade living before I could write a single word of it. It contains never-before-shared details about my experiences\u2014moments I&#8217;ve never written about publicly, insights I&#8217;ve only ever hinted at. It goes deeper than anything I&#8217;ve shared before, into the heart of what it means to love someone across the boundaries of life and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wrote this book because I couldn&#8217;t <em>not<\/em> write it. Because I needed to understand what was happening to me. Because I needed to make sense of the signs, the synchronicities, the presence that wouldn&#8217;t leave. And because I knew, eventually, someone else out there would need it too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the book for anyone who has ever wondered if there&#8217;s something beyond this life. For anyone who has ever asked: <em>Is death truly ever goodbye?<\/em> For anyone who has ever felt a presence they couldn&#8217;t explain and wondered if they were imagining it. You&#8217;re not. And this book will show you why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It will leave you feeling uplifted. It will give you a new perspective on what it means to be alive. And it might just change the way you see everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Buy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The book is available through Amazon. But the best way to support me is to buy direct through my alternative platforms. That way, more of your money goes to me\u2014not to a distributor\u2014and I can keep doing this work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I understand if you&#8217;re addicted to your Kindle. I get it. I&#8217;m not here to judge. If Amazon is easiest for you, that&#8217;s fine. I&#8217;m just grateful you&#8217;re reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">US Orders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">US editions bought directly from me will be fulfilled by Barnes &amp; Noble, with a very low cost shipping fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signed Copies for Canadian Orders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m offering signed copies for orders shipped within Canada. The link below is for pre-order, because I need to wait for a few orders to come in before I can order my author copies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These signed copies come gift-wrapped with surprise goodies\u2014for a limited time only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Links<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/ncp\/payment\/JHRSNGZUVFMW8\">US EDITION<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/ncp\/payment\/7CXD5FHTFLRGL\">CANADIAN EDITION<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/link.amazon\/B09MeAe2h\">AMAZON<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/andreamai.gumroad.com\/l\/the-veil?wanted=true\">DIGITAL EDITION<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wait is over.
