More Praise for
Straight from the Horses Mouth
The magic you experience with Amelia cant be denied. Ive seen her at work, and the effects have transformed my belief systems. Consciousness is not limited, and her book can revolutionize your thinking and ability to communicate with the other living beings around you.
from the foreword by BERNIE SIEGEL, M.D., author of
Love, Medicine & Miracles and Prescriptions for Living
Amelia Kinkade is an exceptionally talented animal communicator. Her rapport with animals of all species is quite amazing and consistent. Her talent and effort is helping to overturn centuries of false beliefs about the feelings, understanding, and mind states of our animal friends. Amelias talents and work demonstrate very well that brain/mind processes for all species involve quantum processes and support the phenomenon we call quantum holography.
CAPTAIN EDGAR MITCHELL, SC.D, Apollo 14 astronaut, founder of the
Institute of Noetic Sciences, and author of The Way of the Explorer
This book is a rare gem, not just for the fascinating stories Amelia shares about her own experiences with animal communication, but because she teaches you how to talk to your animal yourself. I tried the simple exercises, and they really work.... I would recommend Straight from the Horses Mouth, four paws up, to anybody who wants to develop their ability to find love, beauty, compassion, and healing in the natural world, including yourself.
ALAN COHEN, author of The Dragon Doesnt Live Here Anymore
I cant say how many times this book made me cry. Every pet owner in the country should be forced to read this book!
ARIELLE FORD, author of Hot Chocolate for the Mystical Soul
... If you have an open mind and willingness to experiment, Straight from the Horses Mouth can open up satisfying new dimesnions in your relationships with all animals.

Ive read a thousand of these pages. Page 1: A special thanks to... This book never would have been made were it not for...
But Ive always wondered, is a book really a collaborative effort? Wasnt the writer alone, hunched over a notebook, scribbling away quietly in the candlelight, night after night, year after year? Ah... well, now I understand. Alone, yes, but there were whispers in my ears keeping me company. The echo of loving words kept my pen moving:
You can do it. The animals need you.
Denise Landau Rorty
Just keep going. God will guide you.
Linda Sivertsen
Dont listen to criticism. Your work is important.
Carol Cellucci
These women lifted me up on the wings of their love. But there were other gypsy women who kept me airborne. Jo Fagan, at Jane Dystel Literary Management, helped me take flight and taught me that authors dont fly solo, but in precision formation.
My wingman is my editor, the brilliant Betsy Rapoport, who doesnt believe in standard-issue fluffy-winged angelsbut is one. Her hawk eyes and razor-sharp instincts helped me fly straight.
Beside us sails Stephanie Higgs, an editorial assistant whose warm heart and keen wit help keep my wings level. Pamela Stinson-Bell and Sona Vogel, my production editor and copy editor, made my flight path clear and true.
