Having realized her psychic abilities at the age of 8, it would be years later before she would seriously harness her psychic abilities to establish herself as one of the World’s most profound and respected psychics. Many celebrities, politicians, musicians and companies confer with Linda because she keeps their identity in strictest privacy. As a 15-year member of the International Society for Paranormal Research, Linda was part of many paranormal investigations, including helping discern paranormal activity for the British government and aiding the Los Angeles Police Department. In January 2009 Linda Mackenzie’s PSYCHIC SECRETS UNVEILED, a 17- part interactive and display museum exhibit, opened at the Paraplex Paranormal Museum in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her monthly predictions can be found on her website LindaMackenzie.net

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
SYMBOLS OF YOU. I wanted to leave a legacy of all the things I found that can help someone improve their mindfulness and intuition so they can live a more positive and connected life.

HealthyLife.net and my radio show. Our network reaches 2.9 million listeners a month — all who love positive talk and authors!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
The purpose of writing and publishing a book is to get it read. To that end…research the marketing end of getting your book out…that is just as important as the written word. Know your craft and also how the book world works. That business part isn’t as sexy but remember if no one buys your book it doesn’t get read.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
There are no mistakes only learning experiences.
What are you reading now?
Books by Emily A. Francis and Rebecca Skeele.
What’s next for you as a writer?
