A Journey with Spiritual Guidance and Tarot
How did you meet Tara and connect with the spiritual world?
I have been a hypnotherapist and counsellor for over 40 years and read the tarot. I have learned over the years there is more of a connection between the two worlds
as above so below just like the magician in the tarot.
Tara king Sinclair is my main character in my debut book Destiny Fate and Fortune.
I thought like minded readers might be interested in how I first met her.
When I was 18 I was on my first without parents, on holiday abroad with friends in Tenerife. A day trip to mount Teide ended in a car crash left me unconscious and at that time when I was between the two worlds, I first heard a female voice, calm, caring, and gentle; the voice introduced itself to me, and it was comforting.
Then came a presence: Tara appeared and she would stay with me many years after and now taking center stage in my book.

How Near-Death Experiences Can Inspire Tarot and Creativity
What is the story behind Tara appearing on your book cover?
On the 11.11.25 I launched my debut book – Destiny Fate Fortune, based on the energy of the 22 major arcana. On the front cover stands Tara, I still pinch myself, and it’s amazing how she appeared on my front cover like magic; 11.11 is regarded as a spiritual sign, as we know, 11 being a master number.
I never spoke of Tara’s appearance, not one detail to my book cover designer, yet when she sent the first concept for me to see, there was Tara, the vision and companion I have had for many years, and I do not believe in coincidence, this was something greater.
Tarot and Micro Practices for Wellness
How do your six-minute tarot stories help with wellness and mindfulness?
I believe in the power of 6 minute micro tea breaks, a tiny investment with big impact for wellness, and after years in clinic seeing how we can reset and refocus our minds and nervous system, I created 22 bite size six minute fiction stories based on the Major Arcana, each followed by a positive thought of the day. The stories are designed to lower stress levels and give a moment of peace.
Trusting the Invisible Thread Between Worlds
What did your near-death experience teach you?
The paranormal is beyond science, and the encounter of a near death experience at 18 years old, and seeing Tara’s image on my book cover, reminds me to trust the invisible thread between the worlds.
