Author's noteThis book draws on 20+ years experience of coaching clients using a variety of counselling tools. I was inspired to write it and bring people's attention to the idea that they are already perfect human beings, even with their so-called imperfections. Using the vehicle of a novel seemed to be a good way to do this.I am sure I had angelic help in writing the book, it almost seemed to write itself. There were times when I could hardly wait to sit at my computer to write as I wanted to know what was going to happen next with my characters! Scenes and dialogue would drop into my head, together with concepts which I knew had to be included.I'm intrigued that the angels want me to tell their story in the next book, already ideas are "coming through" and I can't wait to sit down again and start writing.I sincerely hope that you will enjoy this book and get something out of it, even if it is only the knowledge that you are already a perfect human being.
