Excerpts from letters sent to Anna by excited readers:

The Cuckoo's Egg is pure inspiration from cover to cover! I was riveted from the moment I opened the first page and the story of Emma resonated deeply within me. Emma's courage, determination and sheer spirit to survive under the most challenging of life circumstances left me feeling totally inspired that I too could achieve whatever I set my heart to do and that nothing was impossible to achieve, no matter what. Having walked a spiritual path for many years myself, I was heartened to read of Emma's own spiritual search for her 'meaning of life' after her profound dream and clairvoyant visions and the subsequent path on which she walked in unfaltering steps along her way. A must-read in every aspect! Anna, you are truly an inspiration. I think of the chorus to Helen Reddy's "anthem" back in the 70's: "Oh yes, I am wise, but its wisdom born of pain, yes I've paid the price, but look how much I've gained, if I have to I can do anything. I am strong, I am invincible, I am woman". That's you and your determination to succeed. Julie. Y.

Dear Anna, I have just finished reading your book and wanted to take the opportunity to thank you. I read it in 2 days (even with studies and a three-year-old little boy. I wanted to say thank you for writing such an inspirational book. The story is amazing and mind boggling, and I am ever grateful for you taking the time and courage to write a book that touched my heart so profoundly. At a time in my life when I seek answers and have an intense amount of impatience with my life path it is reassuring to understand that I need to take a breath. Fiona

I read your book Anna. It was the best. I loved, loved, loved it! Caroline S.

Hi Anna, Just finished reading your book, amazing read!!!! What an incredible, challenging, interesting, exciting story. Thanks for writing it. I have recommended your book to many family and friends. Best Wishes, Jacqueline P.

Anna, Your book is great! I can't put it down.I haven't read a book since my son was born 3 ½ years ago. I am almost finished.I am finding it to be inspiring and encouraging one to be true to self. Thank you so much, Rebecca T.

Hi Anna, I am up to part 2 (chapter 35) of your book. Almost done! It's the fastest I have ever read a book in my life. I think it's a great book and it is so hard to put it down. It is telling me to be strong and that I am never alone. I so very much needed to know that! When I am sad, I just re-read parts of it and smile. Thank you and much love, Brooke L.

Hello Anna, my name is Kushil and my niece recently gave me your book to read - I just couldn't put it down and was wondering where I could purchase more of your books. Kind regards, K. McM.

Dear Anna, Do you have a new book out and how can l obtain a copy? Thanks. Lina

Dear Anna, I have just now finished reading your truly fascinating book. Interestingly, I spent time in Berlin when I was 17 years old and went to Potsdam and the East after the wall came down. I used to look at the housing complex and wonder what stories might be found within their walls. You sound like a very talented lady and you have found the perfect medium to help others. Many thanks, Karla J.

Hi Anna, I wanted to thank you again for the gift of your on your wonderful book. I started reading on Saturday morning, and couldn't put it down. I finished it by Sunday midday (can't remember ever reading a book from cover to cover so quickly). I found it extremely well written and your story was riveting. Congratulations on a wonderful book and on harnessing your power. Much love, Sandy F.

Hi Anna, I've just finished reading your book and want to compliment you on very well written book. It was one of those books that once you start you can't put down.The book had so much to offer from beginning to end.The first part was very inspiring and highlighted the power of self-determination.The second part of the book was extremely interesting and opened up ideas/thoughts and possibilities I had previously closed my mind to.I now find myself searching for information and have a strong desire to learn more about the spiritual aspects you mentioned in your book. Normally, once you finish a book - that is it, the journey's over and you move on to the next book. There are not many other books where the journey begins once you've finished the book. I look forward to your next book, which I'm sure, will be just as great if not better. Kind Regards, Leanne McL.

Hi Anna, I enjoyed your book immensely. As a creative writing student I also admired your writing techniques and competence. It would be admirable on any basis, but given your non-English speaking background it was truly impressive. Cheers, Sue G.

Dear Anna, I've just finished reading your book and I feel compelled to send you this email and say that your book is an inspiration. I took from it that the only limitations are the ones we place on ourselves. It is empowering for all but especially women. Can't wait for the sequel. Best wishes, Norma G.

Dear Anna, I found your book absolutely compelling! I couldn't put it down; strangely I felt I was reading about my own spirit in another person, another time and another place. You are an inspiration to all women and the this story of strength and determination to remain your own person regardless of all the obstacles that have to be overcome is to be highly recommended. I felt the pain. I shared the tears. I felt so connected to the character's feelings and thoughts that it was eerie. I found the character's love life interesting (from a woman's point of view), as she have views herself independently of what men wanted or expected from her. For any woman to still have the capacity to love another man after what she has been through is nothing short of amazing. Carol W.

Anna, After reading your book I admire you as a person and congratulate you as an Author.I wish you every success. Only good can follow you from here on. Sincerely, Carol W.

Hi Anna, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your book. It is fantastic and contagious. I can't put it down. Love, Louise

Dear Anna, I have just finished reading your book and felt I had to contact you. What a brilliant book and a very interesting and unusual story. The explanations regarding reincarnation and karma are so simple and logical, hence totally believable. I also found answers to many questions that have bothered me since childhood. After reading your book, which I did very quickly, I had a profound feeling that "all is right with the world". It is progressing in tune with a greater plan. This is a very comforting thought. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge. Kind regards, Judy B.

Hi Anna, It hasn't taken me long to read your book. In fact, I'd finished it within a few days I enjoyed it so much. Well done for showing your readers how to turn so many difficulties into positives. Debbie M.

Hi Anna, I purchased your book recently. I simply couldn't put it down and finished reading it over one weekend (what an amazing story!). You have answered many questions that I always wanted to know about our wonderful relationship with our spirit guides. As it so happened, your book landed in my lap at exactly the right time. Margaret D.

I read your book in a day and a half â€" I simply could not put it down. It is written with a candor not often seen in literary works and it felt like I was living Emma's life along with her. Its conclusion was eye opening and leads me to rethink long held beliefs and seeing the bigger picture of my own life. For some this book will be a fascinating account of a fascinating life, for others it will be life changing. Colin A.

I finished reading your book in the speed of light! I have not read a book for a long time - maybe 10 years? - but I read yours everyday. Most of the books I read are about natural medicine, healing, Buddhism, Daoism and spirituality. Your book is very well written and very meaningful for the many people who are suffering because of their self-imposed limitations. I gained a lot of understanding about the Purpose of Life, the Spiritual Principles, Karma, Reincarnation from my study of Buddhism, which in many ways similar to the teaching in your book. Although we may use slightly different terminologies, they are the least things we need to consider. The ultimate Dao is nameless; it should pass from Heart to Heart irrespective of language. Mandy C.

Dearest Anna, Thank You Thank You Thank YOU! It is a weird but wonderful thing, this thing called life! I have had your book since last year and for all sorts of reasons I have picked it up and started to read it, then put it down, then started to read it again and put it down again. I finally got into it again about 3 weeks ago (and yes, I am a very slow reader) and now just finished it. Well, what an emotional roller coaster! The first half of your book had me up and down like a yo-yo, there were tears of joy, tears of sadness, anger, love and happiness, shared feelings throughout really. As for the spiritual side of this fantastic book... WOW!!!! Since my 21st birthday I've felt that we have higher beings that walk with us. Maybe give us messages that could mean a lot, if only we would listen. There is so much in your book that made me feel bewildered all weekend; yet I have had such a peaceful weekend and the interaction with everyone I have been in-touch with since Saturday night have been incredibly peaceful. Thank you ever so much for this gift you gave me! I really do appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. With Love, Francis S.

I purchased a copy of your book and found it to be amazing. It has been read by many of my friends and family. My mother bought a copy for herself and my other sister. I've searched the Internet and found your website. Have you written any other books? Thank you, Sandra
