Neither have led me astray!<\/p>\n<p>In the past, I&#8217;ve enjoyed extensive face time with the paranormal, not as a Medium or Ghost Hunter, but as a hired journalist and Chief Editor for The Psychic Times Newsletter. Over the years, I&#8217;ve investigated many unusual topics, and later became obsessed with astrology, learning from some of the best astrology teachers in the field.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a certified Hellenistic Astrologer, a FOCA (Foundations of Classical Astrology) course graduate from the Oraculos School of Astrology, and I&#8217;ve built up a steady and impressive clientele in West Palm Beach, NYC, Chicago, Atlanta &amp; Los Angeles, a list that includes some notables in the entertainment industry. I also became the very first horary reader employed on a popular online psychic site, \u201cPsychic Access.\u201d I\u2019ve written monthly blogs for psychicbloggers.com, and I\u2019ve been asked by Uptime, the hot new micro-learning app, to write creative content for their award-winning app with 11 million users!<\/p>\n<p><i>Time Warped<\/i> was my first teen novel, published by Gypsy Shadow Publishing. It won P&amp;E&#8217;s award for best young adult novel and received glowing praise from Disney actress Danielle &#8220;Topanga&#8221; Fishel: &#8220;I could not put Time Warped down!&#8221; The screenplay, which I adapted from the novel, nabbed a semi-finalist spot in the Filmmaker&#8217;s Int\u2019l Screenplay Contest. It also received attention from Emmy Award nominee, producer, and fashion expert, Jess Zaino.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Ascender<\/strong> was chosen for release as a hard cover from Gypsy Shadow Publishing and is my 2nd teen sci-fi\/fantasy, adventure novel for them. It was awarded a finalist prize by the American Fiction Awards \u00a0contest, and earned glowing 5-star reviews from Readers&#8217; Favorite and Kirkus Reviews. It also received raves from Comic Book Icon and ACE award winner, Bob Burden, 5 stars from a teen critic on PagesforThoughts.com, and the highest recommendation from a NY high school librarian.<\/p>\n<p>This shameless plugging of my novel shall not stop, until The Ascender rises to the top of every Nook and Kindle&#8211;lol!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m currently repped by the resplendent Katharine Sands at The Sarah Jane Freymann Agency in NYC. But previously I shared the same agent as William Shatner\u2014the late and great Carmen La Via, at The Fifi Oscard Agency. Sadly, Carmen passed, but I was fortunate to personally chat with &#8220;The Shatner&#8221; on Twitter about him! And yes&#8230; this brief encounter was a thrill for this nerdy Trekker not to be matched in all the galaxy.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, I&#8217;ve worked extensively in the entertainment industry: CBS, HBO, The Fifi Oscard Talent Agency, and New Line Cinema, in NY. Though I relocated to Asheville, NC, my daughter and I were whisked back to NY after we were chosen to star in a reality fashion Pilot for Back Roads Entertainment. Since that time, I&#8217;ve appeared as a guest on numerous talk radio programs, including: Time Tamer and Women&#8217;s View Radio. I am the mom of a gifted actress, Broadway theater critic, a published novelist, film &amp; tv writer and producer, Rachel Pacelli&#8230;not too proud a mama, am I? But I&#8217;m also the proud wife and partner to a handsome tugboat operator, Daniel Pacelli. Currently, we&#8217;re hunkered down in sunny Florida. But who knows where the future will lead, as the journey down the rabbit hole continues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Aim for the Stars &amp; Follow Your Fanta-Sci&#8221; As an astrologer, I follow the stars, and as an author with Gypsy Shadow Publishing, I follow my Fanta-Sci, right down the rabbit hole.
