Book two is titled “Kisses from Heaven”

There are special cherished moments after the death of a loved one. Some call them coincidences, others a message from beyond. In this case, we are calling them Kisses from Heaven. They are simple things that happen that remind us of our deceased loved one. Some seem so bizarre we are not sure how they could happen. They may be snuggling in a dream, or perhaps having a symbol of a loved one continue to appear over and over, smelling the perfume of a deceased mother or cigar of a father who passed away. These moments, however strange, comfort us. It is my personal opinion that God gives these moments to the bereaved as a way to say, “I know your pain, and I’m still here.” As a sculptor who specializes in sculpting the deceased for individuals homes, prayer gardens, and cemeteries, I have heard of these incidents over and over again. It is the desire of my heart and my co-author Zanna Mangini’s to collect these unusual stories into a book. We would love for you to be a part. Please send us stories about your Kisses from Heaven.

Here is a link to the writers guidelines should you know of anyone that would like to submit.

On Friday at www.psychiconair.com Zanna and I will be talking about the book. I will also be talking about book three. 10 a.m. eastern time.
Book three is titled “Bringing to Life the Spirit of the Deceased a Sculptors- Journey” It is about 4 posthumous commissions and the interactions with both my clients and subject. More can be found at the link

I am still seeking publishers for Bringing to Life… and Kisses From Heaven.

The article or interview with Skirt Magazine has been posted. It can be found on the Houston Skirt Website.

The photo shoot was fun. Georgina Langoria my photographer came with me and took photographs of the photographer taking photographs. They had several women that were there for the photoshoot, all being profiled in that January issue of Skirt, and all amazing women in their own right. Everyone else jumped on the trampoline. I brought the little sculpture of David. The photographer is trying to take the photograph so that David is in the clouds and my hair is blowing. They will cut the photograph and only show chest up. I did not have to jump with David and I was thankful, instead I just held him in my hand as he looked over the edge of the building. Check out the January issue to see what the photographer does!

Received a phone call from Skirt Magazine who wants to create a profile on me for their January issue. Trying to set up the photo shoot they asked if I was available on Friday, which was then switched to this morning. I figured they would be coming to the studio to capture me sculpting, but instead she said she would let me know as soon as she found a trampoline!

???

I guess the magazine has themes for each issue, this issue is on taking chances. I sure know a lot about doing that, especially when it comes to business or creativity. I guess I’ll be jumping. That is o.k. I have had a hankering to jump lately. Actually thought it would be fun to get on a trampoline.

Yesterday I was featured on the local fox news cast for my book “Bringing to Life the Spirit of the Deceased-A Sculptor’s Journey.” I am presently looking for a publisher, but because of the topic, the halloween season, and the press release that I sent out they featured me. I wish it were a longer segment and I could get into the research behind the science and the psychic and the science behind the emotion with art. Also about the strange occurrences in the book. I am thankful for the segment, but I have to say they were not very organized. I sent a ton of photographs but they did not use them. Oh well, there are always more appearances to come. There is not much you can do in two minutes. If you would like to see it you hopefully this link will work. ( VIDEO NO LONGER AVAILABLE.) IF not you can go to the FOX website and type in Mongeon in the search. The video should come up.

I look forward to getting my new computer so that I can compile some of these topics in audio podcasts and in video. Maybe that will help the producers see the interesting elements and how they go together.

Ah, I wish for someone with the creativity Like producer Manny Santos. He did the channel 8 segment on me years ago. With the right producer this topic would be extremely interesting! I’m trying to get Manny’s channel 8 segment ready to show on the web. It was really great and he won best artist documentary for it.

By the way, I am not sure where they got the God’s Word piece to show, As I did not give it to them and it did not go with this segment. Yet it kept coming up. For those of you who don’t know, God’s Word is a collectible series that I sculpt. ( please note if you go to the God’s Word web site and it is down it is going under a total face lift this week!)

Another notch in the belt, another thing to put on my media page
