After three years, I am finally ready to release my fourth audiobook, Talk to Me. I have pulled a collection of stories from my personal life, and readings from my reading vault, that cover a wide range of types of loss, and how to cope. I begin the audiobook describing how spirits talk to me and how you can see signs, too. This gives us a footing to delve into the many stories that are told from both my perspective, and in the words of the person being read.

John was 15 when it began. Visions, voices, feelings, an ability to make up stories about the future that, uncannily, came true. Actually, in retrospect, he was probably much younger than that, but it wasn't until he reached his teens that he realized his abilities were extraordinary. John Edward is now a renowned psychic medium whose talents are matched by only a handful of people in the world. One Last Time is his remarkable story.
