The Writer

Kim Falconer

 

My current, most thrilling project is my debut in the fantasy/SF genre--the Quantum Enchantment Series, Book One Spell of Rosette. The specific release date is coming soon. It's tagged for January 2009 and published by HarperCollins Australia, Voyager Imprint, Stephanie Smith, publisher/editor. Stay tuned for a new web page full of details!

The History: I wrote my first story about a Halloween Cat in 1959. I was five years old! By the 1970's, I was writing reams of epic poetry inspired by JRR Tolkien's Silmarilion and his academic paper 'On Fairy Stories'. None of those earlier works survived my teens and 20's nor did any make it to publication. I can't tell you how relieved I am about that!

I have published extensively in the field of astrology though, and in herbal medicine, childbirth and lactation. I've also written everything from lyrics to funding applications, and course outlines to web content. My Astrology, Mythology and Quantum Physics web site is choka full of articles and links!

 

The Astrologer

John Waterhouse PaintingAstrology has been part of my life for over thirty years. My father, D.W. Falconer, inspired my interest in the occult as I watched him use horoscopes in conjunction with financial adventures and business management. His most successful work was in the stock markets. My astrological approach has taken a different path from big business. I incorporate ancient wisdom and mythology with mystical traditions, art and poetry, ever seeking the hidden worlds of the inner self and their affects on aptitude, events, health, relationships, beliefs and manifestations.

The synchronicity between the horoscope and a person’s life continually fascinates me. Writing, teaching and speaking about has been part of my journey. Consulting internationally in this field keeps me fresh and current, as does writing magazine articles, text books, web site articles and papers.
