  • Ghost of a Smile. Memories From a Medium's Life. on Dec. 07, 2011

    The author of "A Beard in Nepal" and "The Truth About Teeth" and other tales surprises us with a complete change of direction. "Ghost of a Smile" is a moving memoir of a difficult childhood, and an exploration of the writer's earliest experiences with the spirit world, a world that she relates to as naturally as you or I relate to the world around us. Whether you are a new reader or you are already a fan of Fiona's work, this latest book is a gripping story.
  • Voices - Memories From a Medium's Life on July 02, 2012

    From the opening account of the untimely death of a baby rabbit to the ethereal tale of a village elder's passing, this latest book by Fiona Roberts is a feast for anyone even remotely interested in spiritualism or the paranormal. We follow the thread of history as Fiona gradually unlocks the secrets of her family's psychic abilities, down through the generations to the present day and the author herself. The case histories of readings provide us with concrete examples of a medium at work, examples that even a die-hard skeptic should find difficult to dismiss. We learn not to fear communicating with the spirits of our loved ones, be they parents, friends, a husband or wife, or even a beloved English sheepdog named Harry, but instead to take comfort. This is a moving and fascinating book. For more background on Fiona's evolution as a spiritualist and some very funny stories, I urge you to read 'Ghost of a Smile - Memories from a Medium's Life".
