About the Author
Kristy Robinett is one overachieving, oversensitive, overdramatized, over-sarcastic empath of a Scorpio. Shes a psychic medium and author who began seeing spirits at the age of three. When she was eight, the spirit of her deceased grandfather helped her escape from a would-be kidnapper, and it was then that Robinett realized the Other Side wasnt so far away.
As an adult, she was often called upon by the local police department to examine cold cases in a new light and from a different angle. She gained a solid reputation for being extremely accurate at psychic profiling and giving new perspectives on unsolved crimes. It was then that she began working with a variety of law enforcement agencies, attorneys, and private investigators around the United States, aiding in missing persons, arson, and cold cases. In 2014 Robinett appeared on a one-hour special on the Investigation Network (ID) called Restless Souls , spotlighting a police case she assisted on. She has also appeared on a Japanese television series and on the Gaia Network, and she is an often-called-upon media commentator.
Robinett teaches psychic development and paranormal investigation lectures across the country and has a popular YouTube channel. She is the author of several books, including Born Under a Good Sign , Journey to the Afterlife , Tails from the Afterlife , Its a Wonderful Afterlife , and more. She is a wife and a mom to four adult kids and several animals. She and her husband have a podcast called The Robinetts Nest , voted one of the best in the Detroit area. She enjoys gardening, cooking, and front porches. You can visit her online at www.KristyRobinett.com.

Acknowledgments
I pitched this book project years ago, and it was wholeheartedly supported by everyone at Llewellyn Worldwide. Then real life happened, and I began to doubt my intuition and my gifts. It was like I was purposely untying my own shoelaces to trip over them. Thank you to Bill Krause, Terry Lohman, Anna Levine, Kat Neff, Nicole Borneman, and especially to Amy Glaser. Amy, after so many books and so many years, so many tears, tantrums, and late-night whining, I cant tell you enough how much I appreciate your friendship, encouragement, and intuitive wisdom.
Gratitude to Chuck Robinett, my husband and co-host of our podcast The Robinetts Nest . Weve been through so much, but like Karen Carpenter sings, I pray that Weve Only Just Begun. Thank you for your devotion, support, and continuous smiles.
I am the luckiest to be a mom to my kids and bonus kids. To Micaela and Caleb, Connor and Serenity, Cora, Brian, and Benjamin (Tiger), and Molly and Kyle, you are my most favorite job and Im proud of each one of you.
Thank you to Gayle Buchan, who has supported and loved me like a best friend and a mother figure. Words cannot describe how much your constant encouragement has helped me find my path.
Thank you to my assistant Jamie Radcliffe and to Liv Baker for keeping my business operational, and for staying ever patient with me and my late night emails.
To half of the Core4, Marjanna and Mikey, Im so grateful for late-night chats, early-morning coffee with more milk than coffee, fun Disney trips, getaways with way too much luggage, and silly conversations about the strange and unusual. Im so grateful for our friendship.
To SUP (Special Unit Paranormal), made up of Mikey, Marjanna, Chuck, Jan, Kathy, Lynn, and Ryan. It takes a special friendship to sit in dark and musty buildings with haunted dolls and swearing ghosts. We fight like family but love bigger. Im so glad I get to have those crazy experiences with you.
