It's Been a Minute!

 

It has been so long since I posted on here, that I forgot how! I thought it would be nice to start using this blog again, since I put so much work into setting it up in the first place.

 So, what has been happening in my life? Quite a lot actually! COVID changed a lot and moved my psychic business to non-contact, online, phone or video readings - which was fine and worked quite well. I did miss the personal contact with clients though, and as psychometry (holding onto objects) is my absolute favourite tool to use while conducting readings, I began doing personal readings again a couple of months ago. I must admit, I am enjoying interacting with people, face to face again. It was far too easy for me to recoil into myself, stay in my comfort zone and hide away from the world.  I definitely needed that push to get back out there. 

 As you know, I haven't written any books in a long, long time. I am sorry about that, but it has just been too hard to get back into it. I spent years trying to get the books I have written noticed, but alas, it just was not meant to be. I have figured out that if I had decided to start doing psychic readings before I wrote my books, then I never would have written them. So there is that. I did do things in the correct order.  Writing is not easy. It is time consuming and can be draining - although very therapeutic at the same time. Then once the book is written, there is the editing, editing again and again, getting a cover made, formatting, proof reading, uploading, promoting.... it is a lot of work and can be soul destroying when they don't sell. I am very grateful for my fans and wish I had the energy to do everything, but I don't. I am old, with young children and have too many health issues. My psychic business gets a lot more support, believe it or not. Even though I do get the odd comment about being a fraud, ripping people off and being a spawn of Satan! Kind of goes with the territory though :) I had to go with the more lucrative option. I am lucky to have the skills to fall back on - putting myself out there was not easy though.

 I also moved my mother from NZ to Australia in April last year. If you know me, or have read my autobiography, you will know that my relationship with my mother is not exactly a carefree, happy one. I was estranged from her for around 12 years. But she has dementia, was living alone in less than adequate conditions and was helpless and pretty much all alone in the world (since I put my stepfather in prison). So I made it my mission in life to rescue her and bring her here. It was never going to be easy, and COVID closing both the NZ and WA borders didn't help either!  But she is here now and doing a lot better. 

 I have been making YouTube videos and trying to grow that platform as well. Again, it is not easy. But bit by bit, I am trying to keep moving forward and just do a bit at a time. Who knows? One day I might even decide to start writing again!

 

 

 

 

 

My latest venture is adding more videos to my Youtube channel, but this time it is all about me. That's right, I am actually putting myself out there in a series of Vlogs! This is definitely not something that I would normally do and is so outside of my comfort zone! What you see is what you get. This is me. Honest, no makeup, unedited and real.

About Me:

I am originally from NZ, but have been living in Australia since 2007. I am a mother and an author(https://www.facebook.com/Gladys-Quintal-Author-293506287341938).

I've had my abilities since childhood, but have always been a little scared of using them, so instead I tried to block them out for the majority of my life. I've had prophetic dreams and seen and felt spirits around me all of my life as well. I worked very hard to overcome that fear. I've made a lot of wonderful friends along the way that have taught me grounding and protection techniques and I have also started learning about meditation and crystals. All of this has helped me to learn and grow and I am now no longer as frightened as I was.  I've connected with my guides and learned to listen to that little voice inside my head and not second guess my own intuition. So far, I have been pretty accurate with the majority of my photo readings. I hope you will follow me in this very exciting and spiritual journey x

The Man of My Dreams (Book 1 in The Dream Series)

Ever since the death of her parents at the age of 17, Cassie has been dreaming about a dark haired man. He always comes to her in times of trouble to comfort her and help her through the toughest of days. But now after the devastating break up with her boyfriend, Cassie struggles with separating reality from her dreams.

During a trip to her family beach house, her dream man becomes her lover and Cassie finds herself longing for this man to be in her life. But trying to find out the truth about him leaves her questioning her very existence and sanity.

She is convinced her dream man is real and connected to a string of macabre murders over the last 20 years. Fearing for her life, Cassie prays she is right about him and that he can save her before it is too late.

Note from author: WARNING : This mentions an episode of sexual abuse.

Be Careful What You Wish For (Book 2 in The Dream Series)

Alexi is a Vampire trying to live a human existence, he even has a human wife. The Vampire secret is paramount and cohabiting with humans - unless you intend on turning them, just isn't done. Can Alexi protect his beloved Cassandra from the would-be enforcers of this law or will he lose her forever?

The Chosen One (Book 3 in The Dream Series)

Trying to exist undetected in a human world, with a human family is hard enough when you are a Vampire - but finding out your son is also the fabled Chosen One, makes things even more difficult.

Will Alexi's love be enough to protect his precious child from the powers that be and prevent fate from dealing him yet another cruel blow? Or is he condemned to live out eternity alone...

Succubus: An Erotic Companion (Book 4 in The Dream Series)

Succubus is book 4 in The Dream Series, written as a novella to fill in a few gaps – which you know by now is something I love to do. Rather than continuing the plot from book 3, it takes the reader back in time to just after Elizabeth “dies.” You’ll find it a bit more erotic than the first three books, so fair warning!

What happened in the 400 years between Elizabeth dying in her castle tomb and the birth of The Chosen One? Take an erotic step back in time and learn more about what Elizabeth and Sebastian were up to as they prepared for that monumental event to take place.

They certainly didn't get bored while they were waiting, that's for sure!

A Match Made in Hell (Book 5 in The Dream Series)

Gabriel is beyond furious when he discovers Chloe was responsible for the untimely demise of his beloved brother. Will Moyra succeed in protecting her friend from the four hundred-year-old vampire intent on vengeance?

The evil Elizabeth has betrayed them all. Her deceit could find Sebastian burning in the fires of hell for all eternity and force a wedge between Alexi and Cassandra forever.

Undeserving (Novella #1 in the Someone To Love Me trilogy)

All of her life, Bree had been treated badly by men. According to her mother, it was just the way it was with the women in her family and there was no point in trying to fight it. There was no sense in dreaming about Prince Charming right out of the story books, he just didn't exist. She had to accept her fate and move on. It was as simple as that. Bree craved love. She longed for a man to promise her his heart and soul and protect her from the monsters that she had grown accustomed to. She prayed that her mother was wrong and that one day he would find her.

Unforgiving (Novella #2 in the Someone To Love Me trilogy)

When she is given a second chance, Bree tries to put the pieces of her shattered life back together. Without her abusive husband ruling her every move, she begins to enjoy her newly found freedom and decides to explore her feelings for his younger brother. But is the violence truly over? Or is Bree undeserving as her mother always said she was......

Understanding (Novella #3 in the Someone To Love Me trilogy)

Still believing that her mother may have been right and everything she touches turns to dust, Bree decides to break away from the entire Butler family. Can she put the pieces of her shattered past behind her and start afresh on her own? Or will Trey's undying love draw her back into his arms and into his world once more.

#GlutenFree #DairyFree #LowCarb Pancakes

Since a few of my friends are dairy intolerant, I decided to try and create a dairy free pancake recipe. I made them this morning and they were delicious. Of course I topped ours with loads of butter and the kids also had 100% pure maple syrup on theirs.

Recipe:

1 and 1/2 cups of blanched almond meal (you could probably use coconut flour, but use less or more liquid)
1 Tablespoon of psyllium husk powder
1 tsp baking powder (GF)
2 eggs
1 Teaspoon of vanilla essence
15 drops of stevia ( you could use a little honey or maple syrup instead, but it will add to the carbs/sugar content)
1 cup of coconut cream.

I put the dry ingredients into a bowl, break in the eggs and then the stevia, vanilla and coconut cream and mix. Either drop spoonfuls (if you want pikelet sized) or pour into a non-stick frying pan, on a low heat, greased with a little coconut oil. Once the bubbles start to burst (approx a minute) flip and then cook for approx another minute.

I often make a double mixture and then keep the leftover pancakes in the fridge. You can just pop them in the microwave the next morning and breakfast is made!

#LCHF - it's been a year!

I have now been living the LCHF lifestyle for a year. I am so grateful that I discovered this way of eating when I did. Not only has it given me my life back, but it has also helped my kids with some of their own health issues. Hubby still fiercely holds onto his gluten and carby foods and I have no intention of trying to force him to eat how I do - not that I could anyway. He is the only person I know that is more stubborn and determined than I am. But I am hopeful that down the track when he realises what it has done for me, he may think twice and give the lifestyle a chance. I feed the kids this way as much as possible, but now that I work Sundays and he is in charge of them, they tend to eat his way. I am ok with that, as long as he doesn't load them up with sugar as he's done in the past and keeps Bella away from gluten. 

It's been an interesting week. Hubby had a 3 day weekend (which was nice considering he normally works a 60+ hour week) and we had a Breaking Bad marathon. Have I mentioned that I have a highly addictive personality? If I find an author, actor, movie or TV series that I like, I then set out to read/watch anything that I can get my hands on. I've had this obsession since childhood and needless to say, it hasn't gotten any better as I've aged! Anyway, we watched the entire 6 seasons and now I am feeling a little flat and having BB withdrawals, or even a BB hangover. Other shows/movies/books that I've been obsessed with in the past include Moonlight, Dexter, Outlander, True Blood and books by James Herbert, Victoria Holt and Barbara Erskine - to name a few. The endings play on my mind and I start to wonder what happens to the characters after the show and begin to understand how my readers feel and why they keep asking me when the next book will be out!

This week was tough on my Aspie son as he's been without both his laptop and his Wiiu Gamepad. Both were damaged as he is rough on his gadgets and were away getting repaired. It was hard for him as it coincided with the much awaited Mario game being released that he'd saved up to buy, but couldn't play it for a few days. His frustration was alleviated a little by getting to meet his favourite author and get his latest book signed. He's been a big fan of Andy Griffiths for a while now and has read every book he could get his hands on. We stood in line for an hour and a half so he could meet him and get his photo taken. Looks like my obsessive personality may have passed on to him.

Beautiful Bella has been her usual whirlwind self. She's gorgeous and resembles an angel, but she is totally the opposite, believe me. She hates order and lives for chaos. Nothing is ever put away and she spends her day dragging out toys, desperately trying to change her clothes and looking for things that she is not allowed to touch or get into. It is exhausting to say the least, but she is also extremely entertaining and such brilliant company. One smile, cuddle or kiss and she is forgiven, it seems.

The weather is starting to warm up again and we are all hanging out to being able to get back into the pool. It's something we all do together as a family - quality time at its best! Both of the kids are water babies and hubby and I love nothing better than a nice cool swim on a hot summers day. No doubt, there will be a few of them in the near future.

I know if I am a bit more disciplined and work at it, I will continue to improve and my health will keep getting better and better. I've come a long way in 12 months and will keep singing LCHF's praises :)
