Contributor Bio:  Barrow, John ABOUT THE AUTHOR Valerie Barrow was a businesswoman for many years before moving with her husband to country New South Wales Australia, to be closer to her grandchildren and nature. She had worked in the Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore region teaching, conducting groups and giving public talks. She has been interviewed on television in Hong Kong and Australia, and on radio in New York, Texas and Australia. The Author is highly regarded for her mediumship and wise counsel. Several visits to India and conversations with Sri Sathya Sai Baba helped her understand she receives information by divine illumination. Since 1982 she has worked with unseen beings that speak with her or overlight her body and speak through her. Her first book The Book of Love is written in diary form while sitting with a sacred Alcheringa Stone. The Stone, wrapped in paperbark, belongs to the Australian Aboriginals who advise it has come from the stars. It is an introduction to the much larger picture depicted in her second book 'Alcheringa' - when the first ancestors were created - that illustrates a non-fiction story about where humans come from where they are going to and what they will become.
