I am a writer with a psychic ability who brings a unique perspective to the study of the transcendentalist writers of 19th century Concord, MA. Those writers include Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller and both Louisa May Alcott and her father, Amos Bronson Alcott. I am seeking opportunities to lecture, to teach and to inspire others to consider the words and wisdom of Thoreau and the other transcendentalists because I believe their message is as relevant today as it was in their own time. I would also welcome the opportunity to read from my book, "Honor in Concord: Seeking Spirit in Literary Concord" or from the upcoming, "Thoreau's Wise Silence."
I have received overwhelmingly positive responses to "Honor in Concord," both from those who have studied the Concord writers for years and told me they enjoyed every moment of the book, and from those who had no prior knowledge of Concord's literary history, but left the book feeling like they finally understood what the magic was all about.
"Honor in Concord" is available through any bookstore or internet bookseller, or at www.theconcordwriter.com

Quote - Cathryn McIntyre - from www.theconcordwriter.com
"I believe that if you pause for five minutes each day, close your eyes and allow yourself to look within, you will find your truest self and it is in that recognition that you will find your greatest joy.
Open your hearts and minds to the possibilities because that spirit within you is the you that will never end. Your life is yesterday, today and every tomorrow. All who ever were still are and always will be."
