Ann Albers is a popular author, a spiritual instructor, an angel communicator, and a modern-day mystic. After she entered pre-med at Notre Dame University, she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering with a Computer Concentration, then got a job in the aviation electronics industry. She discovered she was unhappy, so she started to pray. "Dear God, whoever, whatever you are, please… Help me wake up happy, go to bed grateful, & make a living doing something I love." That prayer was the key that opened the door to a whole new life for Ann. She started experiencing dreams and coincidences, and teachers and healers appeared. She learned the language of silence and began to discern the rich tapestry of signs and symbols. She also started receiving messages from her angels and began to enjoy the mystical world of energy. One day, when she least expected it, she heard voices telling her to "turn in her resignation the next day." She took a leap of faith and never looked back.

Andrea Courey is an award-winning entrepreneur, author, speaker, and sound healing meditation guide who became a caregiver to her 28-year-old daughter Chloe when she fell ill with cancer. About six weeks after Chloe’s death, Andrea sat down to write her a letter – the kind of letter a mother writes to help express her grief. Fully expecting to burn the letter upon completion, her world changed when Chloe answered, and there began a five-month-long conversation touching on everything from what Chloe was experiencing out-of-the-body to 12 Steps to Bridging Across the Veil. The result was Andrea’s first book, Conversations with Chloe: A Mother and Daughter Dialogue Across the Veil.
