Miami psychic

Regina Milbourne and Yvonne Carey

From protecting killers and bringing back the dead, to thwarting dangerous maids meddling with black magic, Regina Milbourne has seen it all. And after fifteen years as a practicing psychic, she’s also ready to turn her back on the gift she’s had since drowning in a public swimming pool at the age of twelve. Versed in Voodoo, Wicca, and Santeria (to name a few), Milbourne tells the stories of her years as a local psychic in Miami, Florida, as well as her meetings with some of her city’s most controversial figures. Part cult priestess and part psychiatrist, she’s been involved in the lives of some of society’s most degenerate, and most powerful, citizens. And even dealing with death, murder, and corruption on a daily basis, she’s stood by her promise to dedicate her life to anyone whos seeks her help. In Miami Psychic: Confessions of a Confidante, Regina Milbourne comes clean with her stories of the tangled lives and horrors within the tainted business of psychics, hoping to somehow lighten the burden she’s carried all these years.

The truth is--

Melissa Etheridge with Laura Morton

ln the ten years since she burst on to the international music scene, Melissa Etheridge has released six albums that have sold more than 25 million records worldwide, garnering not only public adoration for her uncompromising honesty but numerous critical awards, including two Grammys and the prestigious ASCAP Songwriter of the Year award. She has given the world unforgettable hits such as "Bring Me Some Water," "Similar Features," "Come to My Window," and "I'm the Only One," with lyrics that touch on a universal nerve and the deeply human side of relationships. Her personal journey has been captured over the years through her music, transforming her voice and musicianship into inspiring messages of love, consciousness, hope, longing, desire, and pure passion. This is a bold and unflinching account of an extraordinary life, described as only Melissa can: from her Kansas roots through her early love of music to her brilliant rise to stardom, becoming a female superstar in a male-dominated rock world. Melissa will openly discuss the massive impact of her public coming-out, a revelation that only increased her popularity and made her a highly visible spokesperson for the gay and lesbian community. The Truth Is shares Melissa Etheridge's fascinating story--sometimes shocking, always inspiring--with unprecedented candor and insight. Filled with personal insights, the stories behind the music and lyrics, and never-before-seen personal photographs, The Truth Is ... is a poignant, thoughtful, sometimes difficult expression of who Melissa Etheridge has been, who she is, and who she hopes to become.
