Editorial Reviews

Review

Bridget Jones meets Illusions and The Alchemist. Fresh and gripping, accessible and entertaining, it describes situations that any modern woman would recognise with spiritual wisdom woven in. -- Rose Elliot, author and columnist

The book is warm, funny but altogether life changing. It teaches lessons that are infinitely valuable, on life itself and the nature of the cosmos and the ailments of the human race. It takes you on a journey of the human soul through the eyes of the average human being (you), one who has doubts, fears (financial and otherwise) and would like to change the world if given the opportunity but has most likely given up on mankind altogether. There are so many answers and my old self is itching to show off and to tell you some, but I am not able to. The book is one you must journey through and reflect upon by yourself. A touching and life changing read. It is an easy and essential read for all ages. -- She Unlimited, April 2007

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I am a daydreamer turned storyteller. I love to pen playful tales for little ones and witty, thought-provoking musings for the 'slightly' grown-up. I like to think my whimsical writing style inspires laughter and curiosity in children and inspires insightful, reassuring reflection in adults.

My first book The Barefoot Indian received international acclaim.

One fun fact - I experience synesthesia. It's a pretty cool and unusual neurological condition where your senses ‘cross over’. So, for example, you might see colours when you hear music, or taste words when you speak them. Your brain creates unexpected connections between things that most people keep separate. It’s a fascinating aspect of my life that has influenced my writing style and approach. I find it a really beautiful and colourful way to experience the world!

Beyond writing, I have a deep love for animals, the tranquillity of the sea, and the beauty of rural landscapes. I find inspiration in nature and all creatures great and small.

Living in the UK, on the south coast, I am constantly inspired by its beauty. This fuels my imagination, So, grab a copy of one of my books and let your imagination run wild too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Watch this infectious read spread like wildfire
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2007
Wow, here is a small easy to read book which should be in the ranking of the Celstine Prophecy or Surfing the Himalayas, if they grabbed your attention then this one will. Share in the adventure as a bored person responds to a rather obscure advert in a newspaper 'urgently seeking a messiah or messiahress'. What follows next will draw you in and leave you feeling a little changed and filled with thought...hmm...ahh.

You may not be able to put it down and just have to read it in one, on the road less travelled as you journey to work, stirring your chicken soup for the soul at tea time or whilst rocking the baby and your own inner child within.

One not to miss, for if you do you will not have any idea what others are talking so enthusiastically about.

4.0 out of 5 stars Besser in Deutsch
Reviewed in Germany on February 8, 2019

Ich hab das Buch schon in Deutsch gelesen, als klassisches Buch, aber ich wollte es auch in Englisch lesen, mein Englisch zu erfrischen. Und weil ich mittlerweile Kindle Freak geworden bin. Ich bin sehr subjektiv: das Buch klingt besser in Deutsch. Die Prinzipien sind dieselbe, aber der Klang ist mir auch wichtig.

A cute little book for a lazy afternoon at a local cafe. Lots of insight and inspiration....nothing too heavy... but relevant none the less. A great Sunday read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy Inspirational Read
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 24, 2008
Verified Purchase
Attracted by an advertisment for Messiahress, I
found The Barefoot Indian a simple, easily readable,
delightful metaphor for human and spiritual evolution
... readily recognisable for those already on that
journey. Although I've not yet got that walking on
water thing sorted!

Compelling reading, cleverly constructed though
some conversational passages I found a little stilted.
However, Julia Heywood certainly enticed me to read
the whole book in one sitting. And it's certainly
one I'll keep on my bookshop to help me re-member
when needed!

4.0 out of 5 stars 'The Barefoot Indian' and 'Miiracles are made of this' by Julia Heywood
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 17, 2013

These two books proved to be very useful in my research of the subject of 'Miracles' which I am preparing for a Church Fellowship session. They are very easy to read and tell a good story in a convincing way.

This is delightful! Any easy read and inspiring! Okay you don't have to believe every word you get the message without heavy going practice this and then that - its a light hearted way of appreciating yourself, what the world has to offer and who we are. Just fab! Have now just bought for two friends.
