The Book of Obeah with Sandra Carrington-Smith

On this episode of the Explore Your Spirit with Kala Show, Kala speaks with Sandra Carrington-Smith, author of The Book of Obeah. The Fate of All Rests with a Universal Awakening Upon the passing of her beloved grandmother, Melody Bennet receives startling instructions that she is to take the ashes of Grandmama Giselle to southern Louisiana. Melody must step far outside her comfort zone in the suburbs of North Carolina to fulfill this dying wish. She finds herself blindly navigating the exotic, sometimes hostile environs of New Orleans and Bear Bayou, and immersed in a subculture based on an ancient West African religion. At this unexpected crossroad, she discovers new cultures and beliefs – and new dangers – and awakens to a new way of seeing the world and her role in it. Melody learns that a different perspective can indeed change your perception of reality.

Sandra Carrington-Smith

About Sandra Carrington-Smith:
Sandra Carrington-Smith is an Italian-born author who relocated to the United States in the late 80’s after marrying a US soldier who was serving overseas. Although writing was Sandra’s deepest passion since childhood, her dream of becoming a published author had to be placed on hold for several years. Moving to a new country provided several challenges, the biggest one being the language barrier she encountered when she first arrived. In order to become fully integrated, Sandra tapped into her love for reading, and over time her vocabulary grew extensively. She gave birth to three children and devoted most of her time to raising a family. By the time she was in her late 30’s, Sandra decided to revisit her old passion for writing, and penned a novel of paranormal suspense, The Book of Obeah, followed by a self-improvement book, Housekeeping for the Soul: A Practical Guide to Restoring Your Inner Sanctuary. Both titles were sold to the same publisher and released in 2010, and The Book of Obeah went on to win an international book award. The Book of Obeah has been optioned for film, and production is expected to start early summer 2013. It will also be released as an audio book in the second quarter of 2013 by Cherry Hill Publishing, and narrated by Dave Fennoy, better known as the Hulu Guy. Currently, Sandra is working on two new novels: The Rosaries (the sequel of The Book of Obeah) which is scheduled to release at the end of fall 2012, and Shadows of a Tuscan Moon. Killer in Sight (A Tom Lackey Mystery) was released in May 2012. Sandra Carrington-Smith lives in Raleigh, NC, with her husband, children and three cats.

Exploring The Way with Kristen Wolf

On this episode of the Explore Your Spirit with Kala Show, Kala speaks with Kristen Wolf, author of The Way, which is currently listed as an Oprah Magazine book to pick up now. Traditional spiritual institutions have often been seen by their followers as a means to an end; a framework through which to guide the uncovering of oneâ s path, destiny and moral compass. But what about those of us who are looking for spirituality without bounds, who have felt fundamentally excluded by doctrine, altogether distant from the mythology and dogma? For the increasingly many who find themselves relating to the latter, enter The Way (Random House), the literary debut from Kristen Wolf.

The Way tells the story of Anna, a fiery young tomboy living in ancient Palestine who finds herself captured by a mystical and secret society of women; a sisterhood who practice an ancient healing philosophy called The Way. With an unexpected power released within her, Anna’s spiritual destiny becomes clear: to preserve, share and defend “The Way” by proclaiming it among the masses.

Breathing a gust of new energy and inclusiveness into the quest for spiritual fulfillment in the 21st century, The Way is an exciting, adventurous and elegant coming of age tale that is quickly becoming a book club favorite. Spurring provocative and important conversations about spirituality, as well as theme parties replete with flatbreads, dates, olives and food reminiscent of the book’ s setting, The Way is truly a book of spirit, meant for everyone, states Wolf.

The Grimoire Chronicles with Sally Dubats

On this episode of Explore Your Spirit with Kala, Kala speaks with Sally Dubats about her novel, The Grimoire Chronicles: Veil Between Worlds. Cassie is a teenage Witch with a problem — her memory was stolen. She blames astral projection; unplanned out-of-body experiences that induce amnesia happen when life gets ugly. Cassie does what any Witch would do; she casts a spell to remember. The magick sparks a mind-blowing adventure to another dimension where anything is possible, supernatural beings abound, and a dangerous romance blossoms with the very mysterious Trenton. But Trenton is hiding terrible secrets, and Cassie suspects that he just might be the one who ripped a hole in her memory. The Witches’ New Year looms, and the veil between our world and the next grows thin. Time is running out, and Cassie delves deeply into the highest arts of Witchcraft to discover the terrifying truth… and to survive. Will Cassie be trapped between worlds? With Trenton? Forever?
