SPIRIT SISTERS
by KARINA MACHADO

SPIRIT SISTERS is a collection of women’s true stories of the paranormal,  illuminating the "extraordinary experiences of ordinary women, whose firsthand accounts of apparitions, near-death experiences, premonitions, hauntings and love more powerful than death are all captured within its pages.”

"SPIRIT SISTERS was inspired by the scores of women who would preface their story with 'I've hardly told anyone this, but...'. Scratch the surface and the words would tumble out; they'd give up the ghost, so to speak."

"In SPIRIT SISTERS you'll meet Australian women of all ages who share their very personal encounters with the supernatural. From a high-flying banking executive whose life changed forever after a visit from a bizarre, winged entity, to a mother of seven who was held and soothed by her husband five days after she'd buried him, to the woman who lost most of her family in one car accident, this book is heartbreaking, inspiring, scary and comforting."

"Whether you believe in the afterlife or not, reading this book will lead you to question your reality and wonder... what if?"

WHERE SPIRITS DWELL
by KARINA MACHADO

"WHERE SPIRITS DWELL unearths the creaking, spine-chilling moments when ghosts appear in suburbia. Alongside infamous Australian haunted homes, like Junee's Monte Cristo Homestead and Annandale's haunted Abbey, Where Spirits Dwell also takes readers inside other haunted dwellings including schools, pubs and even shopping centres."

"As she did in her bestselling book Spirit Sisters, described as 'addictive reading' by the Daily Telegraph and 'fascinating and thought-provoking' by the Sun Herald, Karina Machado spins such a web of wonder that often the interviewees' lives prove just as fascinating as the spooky experiences they're sharing with her."

"Along with these real-life experiences, Karina also investigates the haunted house in history, literature and popular culture in this creepy, intriguing book."

LOVE NEVER DIES - True Australian Stories of After-Death Contact
by KARINA MACHADO

"This is a book about the indestructibility of love."

"Journalist and author Karina Machado spoke to over 60 Australians with stories of post-death contact. She shares their life-shattering experience of loss, and shows how their spiritual contact with a deceased lover, friend or family member brought peace, hope and the solace of knowing that their connection lives on. There is the story of a teenage boy who appears in bodily form on the eve of his funeral to bring comfort to his sister. A young husband returns to his widow in time to prevent another tragedy. A grandmother arrives to lovingly care for the infant children of her grief-stricken daughter. A man soothes his heartbroken brother with an otherworldly embrace."

"Written with grace and compassion, LOVE NEVER DIES is as much about the power of loving relationships as it is the phenomenon of the survival of consciousness beyond death."
