“Open the pages of The Can Sack Ghost and step into the marvelous and mysterious world revealed through the eyes of John Russell. The Can Sack Ghost, John's fifth book, is equal parts paranormal memoir and cosmic philosophy. John is a natural storyteller, and his stories are as entertaining as any you'd hear around a campfire on a dark summer night. Yet what makes these stories special is that John looks for the deeper meaning behind his psychic encounters. He raises questions on dozens of topics, from the true meaning of skepticism to the spiritual implications of AI.” – Martha C. Lawrence, author of Murder in Scorpio
"John Russell stands as a distinctive voice in the realm of paranormal literature, crafting narratives that transcend the ordinary and delve into the mystic aspects of the psychic and paranormal realms. With an illustrious career that merges real-world psychic experiences with rich storytelling, Russell's works are a treasure trove for enthusiasts of the uncanny and the supernatural.” – As seen on New York Weekly
“John's books provide a unique perspective on the psychic and paranormal realms. Fans of true ghost stories will be entertained by accounts ranging from UFO encounters to Guardian Angel guidance that proved to be lifesaving.” – George Noory, Host: Coast to Coast AM

author of Avoiding Self Imposed Adversities
From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

author of Children: My Heritage - A Testimony
The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.
