This week as my special guest from the arts I’m pleased to be interviewing Sheila Jeffries, artist and best-selling author of the runaway success Solomon’s Tale, a cross-over story for children and adults about a beautiful cat who can see angels and who chooses to reincarnate to help a family go through the traumas of separation and poverty. A writer of long standing, Sheila had four full-length children’s novels published before she even left school. These books continued to sell worldwide for many years. She later wrote eight more children’s books published by Methuen, Blackie and Scholastic, as well as a recent project Talking to Fairies published by Element. In addition, Sheila has written three non-fiction books. Her follow-up book to Solomon’s Tale – Solomon’s Kitten has been enthusiastically received. Her most recent publication The Boy With No Boots has just come out and is a spell-binding saga set in Somerset at the turn of the last century. As well as being a writer Sheila is also a successful artist with solo exhibitions of her work shown in galleries in London and the West Country in England. Clairvoyant from childhood, Sheila has developed her interest in esoteric subjects, particularly healing and sacred geometry, influences of which can be seen in both her writing and art. As well as having successful careers as an artist and author, Sheila has brought up a family, taught Special Needs Children, helped run a small-holding and planted and nurtured a fifty acre wood with her husband Ted, which they call the Forest of Dreams.
