AK23-9. Anika Savoy, and New York City Lunatic Asylum


Authors Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest Anika Savoy, on air from February 28th

Explore the history of the New York City Lunatic Asylum Award-winning, paranormal, historical romance author Anika Savoy

Life is hard enough without having to deal with ghosts following you around every day. Maggie O’Connor wishes that she did not have psychic gifts but coming from a long line of Irish female seers, she never had a choice. Faced with having to care for her departed sister’s orphaned baby, Maggie struggles to pay the rent while working for pennies at a local Bowery sweatshop. Her life goes from bad to worse when a wicked neighbor steals the baby.
Things look up when the handsome son of Maggie’s employer falls for her. Gershom understands that having psychic gifts does not necessarily make a woman crazy. If only the local judge agreed. When Maggie ends up at the New York City Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell’s Island, she must find a way to escape and return to Gershom’s loving arms.
Will Maggie be stuck in a madhouse forever? Even if she escapes, can she and Gershom rescue the lost baby? The obstacles seem insurmountable, but anything is possible with the assistance of ghostly helpers and Andrew Carnegie, one of America’s richest men.

She attended McGill University and graduated with distinction in 1988 with a B.A. in English Literature. While at McGill, she won several creative writing contests. Thereafter, she wrote three historical romance novels. In 1998, Anika changed course and pursued her lifelong dream of becoming an attorney. She graduated from University of Cincinnati, College of Law with Dean’s Honors in 2001 and practiced law for almost 20 years. Now, Anika returns to her first love: writing historical romance. She endeavors to add paranormal elements that take readers into a fairy tale universe where ghosts and witches exist, and happy endings abound.

His Garden: Conversations with a Serial Killer

A lawyer gets inside the mind of a notorious New England serial killer in this award-winning and “grimly compelling” true crime (Kirkus).

For nine months of 2003, William Devin Howell went on a killing spree in and around New Britain, Connecticut. Seven people went missing; all of their bodies were eventually discovered in a wooded lot behind a strip mall. But the investigation that led to Howell’s arrest is only part of the story.

Attorney and author Anne K. Howard aka Anika Savoy, first contacted Howell while he was serving a fifteen-year sentence for one of his murders. He was about to be charged for the remaining six. A unique and disturbing friendship between the two began, comprised of written correspondence, face-to-face prison visits, and recorded phone calls. Over the course of years, Howell shared his troubled history with Howard. When his case was finally over, he told her every intimate, grizzly detail of how he became Connecticut’s most prolific serial killer.

In His Garden, Howard probes the complicated mind of William Devin Howell. It is a story that explores the eternal question of human evil and its impact on others, including the woman he chose to hear his horrific confession.

23-07. Love You to Love Another.


Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from February 14th

Love is not something you do, but someone you are. We try to define love by conditions and doctrine, but while we are chasing the fantasy of love, let us really look at what love is.

Love is an energy of kindness, compassion, caring, and nurturing vibrations. It is not something we do, when we love someone, it is some thing we are, we are the love. When you truly love from within yourself, and you raise up to that frequency on a higher level of being the love; you then exude your loving vibration, inviting others to match it with you.

We have been conditioned to think if we were just prettier, thinner, sexier, richer, brighter, more of something else, we would be loved, but that is not so, you have to BE THE LOVE to know love and no one can demand anything of you other than your true heart and soul love.

To love is to not knowingly to hurt another, for it would hurt you to do so.

To love is a a good vibration that resonates out from within to ignite love in each other.

To love is to give of ones self in a way that uplifts, and holds others in that higher vibe..

To be loved is when you are seen from your core and loved for all you are, not what someone ants you to be.

To Love is a look at life from a place of optimism and see the possibilities we can loving create.

To love each other is to see another from the soul heart and spirit that they are, and to embrace in all their loving energy.

Love is choosing to see the light in life and not feed the darkness of pain, anguish and despair, but to feed the love to heal, and become that love ourselves.

If we want to be loved, we must become LOVE, love from with in, loving who you are, why you are, and what you are here to do, and loving the purpose of you.

Love is to see the good in each other and not to place judgment upon each other, but to care for each other in any way we can.

To love is know the divine, for God, Source, Energy, the Universal wisdom, comes from a place of loving vibrations and when we decide to be a part of that love, we then understand, that LOVE IS OUR GENERATOR in life.

SIMPLY PUT, LOVE IS ALL AND WHEN WE COME FROM LOVE AND BECOME THE LOVE, WE KNOW HOW EMPOWERING LOVE CAN BE FOR US ALL.

May this Valentines day be one of self love and stepping into the loving energy of the divine.

TSM.23-07. How Canadian Corruption Got Gordon Knights Book Banned.


Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Gordon Knight, on air from February 14th

Gordon Knight, author of Deep 6 Diaries, The True Story of One Little Guy Trying to Defend Himself, His business, and His Elderly Father from Bullying Bureaucrats and Government Criminality.

How Canadian Corruption Got a Book Banned– In America

Who decides which products can be sold in the US?

The Government of Canada, that’s who. Does that surprise you?

It should shock you, but you can’t be blamed for not knowing. Canada’s been suppressing news on all this, even banning an explosive book exposing the whole sordid tale. More on that in a moment.

The US government outsourced its control of product safety and importation to another government in a foreign country, in this case; Canada. That’s bad enough, but it gets worse.

That Canadian government agency doing the testing and certifying, an outfit called CSA Group, isn’t doing much testing or certifying. Instead of doing the work, they’ve been caught faking the testing and forging the certifications, selling counterfeits to enable imports into the US. We know this, as we’ve heard from a long stream of whistleblowers, of civil service insiders sending us evidence. Indeed, an Ohio court even ruled in 2011 that CSA is guilty of “conspiracy to defraud” the public, of “falsifying testing results,” and “falsely certifying” unsafe products. Canadian civil servants make a ton of money doing this in the US. By law, products must be certified, no choice there, so Canada’s little racket makes a mint by selling fakes and nobody holds them to account because, well, they’re the government.

This no-accountability stuff goes pretty deep. You see, Canada isn’t supposed to be operating inside the US at all. It’s illegal. They’re here, illegally, operating government businesses across the US to facilitate the offshoring of American jobs, mainly to China. 

Did you know Canada was doing that? From inside the US? This Canadian outfit also sells influence over legislation – actual dollars for votes. They’ve passed “Manson’s Law” in Canada, making legislation itself the private property of whoever drafted it. They legalized the bribing of civil servants. They pull a ton of money from that too, of course. All this is possible because these same civil servants run the functions of the courts – they pick the judges for cases, intake the exhibits, edit the evidence, etc. They do trial rigging in Canada, and that affects all they do in the US. And all they do, therefore, is untouchable at law.

And I’ll bet you didn’t know about all that, did you?

I wrote a book recently, called Deep 6 Diaries, exposing the horrid scale of corruption in the civil service in Canada and the US. The book was released late last year. The civil service knew it was coming. They’d tried to wipe out my small publishing company with a series of court cases since 2011. That’s eleven years folks, that’s a lot of lawfare. That’s part of what Deep 6 Diaries was chronicling and it’s what the government wasn’t keen on you reading about. So they suppressed it.

This summer, the Canadian government advised VISA, AMEX and the other credit card companies that my company was engaged in money laundering or finance fraud. I don’t know which, by the way, as I wasn’t allowed a copy of the allegation. What I do know is that any such allegation from a G7 country results in the immediate blacklisting of the alleged money launderer. Our website, Deep6Diaries.com, the intended salespoint for the book, suddenly couldn’t sell anything by credit card.

About thirty days later, the government reached into my company’s bank account and seized $25k. This was punishment for all that money laundering they’d claimed we were doing. Two weeks later, they seized another $25k. That’s $50k in fines without a hearing, without a trial, and without the right to read the allegation. And folks, my business is publishing, we’ve never worked in finance in any way. The alleged crime is nonexistent.

Of course, the civil service knows this, but they also know they can suppress an embarrassing book by just filing the charge. A book banning, just by filing.

Well, as a fallback, we launched Deep 6 Diaries on Amazon. Then, just a few days after launch and a mere handful of sales, Amazon shut us down. Why so? Well, they’d received a letter from the Canadian government advising that our new book was counterfeit.

Ponder this; I wrote the book myself, my own company published it, yet the civil service banned my book by claiming that I was somehow counterfeiting my own product.

The bureaucrats know their argument is nonsense, but it works. The book was banned. Deep 6 Diaries, exposing foreign government corruption inside the US, is now the rarest book in America.

That’s the tip of the iceberg, too. There’s also a warrant out for my arrest in Canada. The civil service arranged for a court ruling that found me guilty of complying with a law the civil service found inconvenient. That’s “complying,” mind you, not defying the law. In truth, there was no defying of any law, either by me or the legal counsel who ensured our compliance. Rather, the ruling is a ruse. What they’re really after is the silencing of someone who knows too much and, from their perspective, is a bit too dangerous.

Well, on that surreal basis, I’ve been given a life sentence in prison. Naturally, I fled that country two years ago for the comparative paradise of Texas, and I’ve since filed for political asylum. And what drove all this?

I exposed the corruption of the administrative state, and for that, the powers of government have been arrayed against me. My friends, Canada is a post-legal society, and the US isn’t far behind. And you’re not even allowed to read about it.

Gordon Knight, author of Deep 6 Diaries,is the owner of PS Knight, a publisher of electrical guidebooks. For more than 50 years Knight’s family business has been publishing such guidebooks on how to install electrical wiring safely and in compliance with electrical laws. But Knight has a competitor — the Canadian government, which also publishes its own guidebooks.

In 2012 the Canadian government began suing Knight, arguing that Knight had breached their copyright in quoting from laws that the civil service had drafted. That is, they argued that they owned the law privately.

Since then Knight has endured a series of dirty Rulings from several levels of Court.  In one such Ruling, the Judge was concurrently employed by the same civil service entity that was suing us.  As one might expect, this Judge ruled in favour of his employer.

Right now, after nine years of litigation and a run all the way to the Supreme Court, in order to protect the private interests of the civil service, the Courts of Canada have Ruled that laws are indeed privately owned by whomever drafted or lobbied for their passage into law.

Gordon Knight has fled Canada.

This book is banned right now, but we hope it will be available soon, and will post the link then. In the mean time, there is lots of detailed facts and info from here

QS23-07. Catherine Carrigan, What’s going on with your soul?


Quantum Spirituality with Sara Troy and her guest Catherine Carrigan, on air from February 14th

In Reading the Soul, medical intuitive healer Catherine Carrigan reveals how you may be suffering from a wounded spirit, the karmas your soul may be carrying from this or other lifetimes, the burden of negative spiritual energies and why traditional medicine or natural healing may not be working to clear what ails you.

What is your soul’s purpose? Your soul longing? The stories herein will uplift your soul and help you understand why you were born.

Reading the Soul captures the essence of what all spiritual knowledge is based upon. Catherine gives a clear understanding of your soul’s purpose and the different soul contracts you chose before you incarnated. She fills the holes and questions that most people have about why certain things are happening in their life. Reading the Soul is insightful, and uplifting.

BB23-07. Cassandra Little, Energy Behind Your Brand & Website.


Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Cassandra Little, on air from February 14th

Energy is something that is felt or experienced. As a highly sensitive individual, my awareness was highly in tune with the frequency of everything around me. I was consciously aware of my outer environment, my inner environment and everything in between. As a creative, and as many creatives know, it’s harder to create when you are stressed, or distracted, or focused on anything other than the task at hand. I struggled for many years to move forward in my business because there was too much energy working against me, and not enough supporting me. The biggest thing that made a difference for me was working with scalar energy tools and incorporating various energy practices that help me to connect more easily with what I call the flow state. In this space, I am supported, expansive and feel more connected to my authentic self – where everything just flows. As I continually worked to strengthen this muscle and be in this creative flow, the natural momentum of things would build and come into my life – clients, connections, relationships, opportunities. This led me to want to show others that there is a different way – a different way to doing business. We aren’t met to force, or push, or manipulate our businesses – this goes against the natural rhythm of flow. Can we connect and sit in our inner frequency, and allow this to be the invitation to opening us into creating an abundant business?

I’ve never been big on labels but if I would to give myself a title I would say I am an Intuitive Designer & Alignment Facilitator. How I got here was a merging of two worlds… I originally studied and went to school for graphic and website design. This ignited my passion for creation, and design. This led me to dive deeper into the digital world, learning all things about marketing, analytics, websites, emails, design, social media. I worked with many start up entrepreneurs helping them establish and create their online presence. Although I loved it, there was a part of me that felt like something was missing. So I ventured into more of the spiritual side of things, learning various different kinds of energetic and healing modalities – reiki, subtle aromatherapy, soulful communication, light healing, thai massage, sound healing, metaphysical anatomy technique – to name a few. I loved supporting people to shed the layers they needed to connect with their innermost self, and move forward in creating the life they deserved. So here I was with two passions, both in two seemingly different worlds that felt quite opposite from each other. 

Fast forward to today, I help clients develop an authentic brand, and create a website that matches with the essence of who they are. Along with this I use different techniques and tools to energetically support them in moving into a coherent space within them so they can go forward and weave that energy into their business.
