Katie Golby

Everyone has a book in them. This is one of those facts that gets passed around without question. People nod their heads in a serious fashion when they hear it mentioned, before speaking of wasted opportunities and regrets of failed dreams; but for me it was different. I knew that I would write a book one day- knew it like water gets you wet. No, my issue wasn't if I'd write a book, it was more like when.

 

Life has a nasty habit of getting in the way you see. You start doing what your parents would call a 'proper job', and before you know where you are the weeks are slipping by you so fast that you can barely remember what month it is. Knowing that I had to write a book, but unsure of what it should be about, I tried several times to start writing something before predictablly casting it to one side as my enthusiasm melted away. I hadn't found my passion yet and the stuff I was forcing myself to write was reflecting this monumentous fact (I.e. It was rubbish)

 

And then something happened to me that changed the rules of the game. See, I'd always known that I was a bit different to other people. Something about me that made me see the world differently from others, but I could never quite put my finger on what it was. Not until a friend of the family pointed it out to me anyway! She is a psychic medium and told me in no uncertain terms that I had the same gift lying dormant in me! Well, you can imagine how news like that can knock you off your feet if you let it. For me however, I knew that her words were true. Things in my life that had seemed odd now all slotted into place like a mystical jigsaw, and I fully understood the path of my life and myself for the very first time. 

 

Since that point, I have been developing and growing my interests in all things spiritual, as well as my own psychic abilities. It is now a massive part of who I am as a person, and I could never imagine doing anything else. Now, not only was I able to sit down and write a book that I was proud of, but the whole thing came to me pretty much fully formed! Despite having baby twins that I looked after on my own with no help, I was also able to finally put pen to paper. The book only took a year from starting that first draft to self publishing it, and I could not be prouder of the end result and of myself. When we want something we want it to fall into our laps immediately, but life doesn't work that way. Sometimes you have to work with Divine timing and trust in the bigger pciture. My first novel, Chasing Rainbows, is certainly living proof of that.
