About the Author
Linda McIntyre
Linda McIntyre is an attorney, author, and illustrator who has spent over 40 years working in family law and offering pro bono legal services to women in need. At 80 years old and a cancer survivor, she continues to advocate for others. Linda’s writing reflects the wisdom she has gained from a lifetime of service, family, and overcoming challenges.
Born in the small town of Nowthen, Minnesota, Linda grew up surrounded by generations of strong women who taught her the values of resilience, gratitude, and hard work. In addition to her legal career, Linda has written and illustrated several books, including Thoughts from Maci on Angels and Dragons, and Other Gifts.
She spends her summers in Vermont, where she enjoys raising chickens and growing her own food, living a life she considers “the height of privilege.”
Metaphysics & Healing
Christina's enduring passion for metaphysics, coupled with a lifelong history of psychic experiences, guided her towards the Healing Light Center Church. Under the guidance of Rev. Rosalyn L. Bruyere, she embarked on a journey pursuing Ministry of Healing, specializing in the practice of Laying-on-of- Hands, or energy medicine. For nearly four decades, Christina has dedicated herself to studying and working as a minister and healer.
Medicine Ways
She also has a deep love and reverence for the Red Road and has studied intensively in the Native American traditions. Christina maintains a small, private healing practice and has what she calls a gypsy ministry -- she goes where she is called. Christina continues to work and study with Rev. Bruyere, who is the technical consultant for "Medicine Ways".
Christina Rideout has done many things in the course of her life.
She’s studied and worked as an actress since she was 7 years old. She earned a BFA from the University of Southern California and has shared the stage with several award-winning actors.
She’s been a Daughter, Sister and a Friend for all of her life; a wife and mother for over thirty years.
A twice-ordained minister, most recently ordained in the Healing Light Center Church, she is a laying-on-of-hands or energy medicine healer with almost 40 years of experience. (Go to Rosalynlbruyere.org for more info about her friend/mentor Rosalyn and the Healing Light Center Church.)
She had a tee-shirt business for a couple of years that combined positive messages and chakra colors intended to improve one’s life, as well as a Bee-line.
Christina has written and produced a TV series called “Medicine Ways”.
Now, she is writing novels.
“Why?” you ask. Christina wants you to “hear” these messages. She hopes these principles will be more clear to you if you share in a story, or a parable, about these matters. The principles will become clearer, as will the path, if you choose to accept or believe or entertain them as a truth for you.
Christina attempts to answer the questions:
What if the original lie was that humans can never live in peace?
What is a warrior?
What if you were willing to die for your principles but not kill for them?
What if you saw everyone as Mother/Father, Sister/Brother, Daughter/Son, fellow being, or Self?
And while answering these questions, you may believe her naïve; Christina believes we’ll never change what we don’t change.
