The Crying Tree and the Magic Rock is a captivating collection of true-life paranormal experiences interwoven with personal anecdotes and reflections. Why was this an important book for you to write?
I want readers to understand that we are constantly surrounded by and immersed in the realm of Spirit and that even in the most ordinary-seeming moments we may experience the sacred.
What is a common misconception you feel people have about paranormal events?
That anything paranormal is “of the Devil,” demonic, malevolent, or dangerous.
How has sharing your stories and experiences impacted or changed your life?
It’s made me aware of how many misconceptions there are in regard to the psychic and paranormal realm.
What is the next book that you are working on and when can your fans expect it to be out?
My next book is titled, “The Can Sack Ghost,” and is more nonfiction paranormal experiences, and fans can look for it in mid to late 2025.

Enjoy the hair-raising supernatural event that happened to me when I was just a boy, running my paper route on my bicycle…in the dark; the magic rocks I’ve found over the years that wrote me messages on their surfaces; an incredible story of the Devil himself dancing with several women in a West Texas nightclub during Cinco de Mayo; guidance from the Other Side that enabled me to save the life of a young child; and…the bizarre story of a snake that saved me and my buddies from a beatdown!
And then, there’s those pesky UFOs! Read about my own up close and personal encounters with these strange craft and my subsequent observations that have led me to draw distinct conclusions about their behaviors. That’s just a smattering of the amazing true tales you’ll enjoy reading in my newest book, The Crying Tree and the Magic Rock.
I have three additional books available on Amazon for you to enjoy: Riding with Ghosts, Angels, and the Spirits of the Dead — A Knock in the Attic — 20 Ways to Increase Your Psychic Abilities

Riding with Ghosts, Angels, and the Spirits of the Dead
Posted by Literary Titan


Riding With Ghosts, Angels, and The Spirits Of The Dead by John Russell is a captivating exploration of the author’s extensive encounters with the paranormal. With over 45 years of experience as a psychic and an ordained minister, Russell shares his numerous psychic and supernatural experiences in a way that is both enlightening and engaging. Despite its subject matter, the book is not intended to frighten but rather to fascinate and inform. Russell claims to have experienced over 1,000 physical supernatural embodiments and has conducted psychic readings in more than 40 countries. From the seat of his motorcycle, readers are invited to join Russell on a journey spanning thousands of miles and countless psychic adventures.
Russell’s writing style is relaxed and entertaining, reflecting his ease with both worldly and otherworldly beings. His confidence in his psychic abilities is evident and reassuring, making readers feel comfortable rather than fearful. This sense of ease is further enhanced by the inclusion of personal anecdotes involving individuals from his life, such as his good friend Bill. Bill, who humorously accepts Russell’s abilities while wanting nothing to do with the supernatural, adds a relatable and cherished dimension to the narrative. The book begins in a particularly engaging manner, with Russell recounting an award-winning producer’s interest in his investigation into the assassination of President Lincoln and the search for John Wilkes Booth. Russell’s fixation on Lincoln’s funeral hearse and the belief that the ‘Other Side’ wants him to uncover further revelations adds an intriguing layer to his story. This introduction draws readers in with a blend of historical intrigue and supernatural investigation.
Riding With Ghosts, Angels, and The Spirits Of The Dead is a fascinating read. John Russell’s ability to embrace and articulate his unique gift makes for a compelling narrative that is both informative and enjoyable. I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the paranormal or simply a curiosity about the unknown.

Dedication and Persistence
Posted by Literary_Titan

20 Ways to Increase Your Psychic Abilities teaches readers how to increase their psychic abilities by following your practical step-by-step lessons that build on each other to help hone one’s skills. What sparked the need to write this book?
For many years, the Other Side has communicated and taught these techniques to me; I put them into practice for myself, so I know they work. I began to teach these principles to my clients when appropriate so that they could utilize them to improve their lives. It dawned on me that I needed to accumulate these lessons into a book so that these valuable techniques could be communicated to a wider audience and help more people.
What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?
That developing psychic abilities and increasing spiritual growth is not an onerous, difficult task. I wanted my readers to understand that developing their inherent gifts and abilities is within easy reach. I simplified the techniques so that anyone can easily understand them and put them into practice right away.
What experience in your life has had the biggest impact on your writing?
Authoring and publishing my first book, Riding with Ghosts, Angels, and the Spirits of the Dead. That opened up the floodgates, and I’ve now published three multi-award-winning books, with more on the way. I owe it all to completing that first book.
What is one thing that you hope readers take away from 20 Ways to Increase Your Psychic Abilities?
Although the techniques are easy to learn and put into practice it takes dedication and persistence to see results.

As he says, ‘…like all things, practice and consistency is key.’ You will find him to be an inspiration as I have for the years I have known him. And, even though you may not have the chance to meet John personally, through his books and his words, you will find in him, as I did, a true friend.” JV Johnson.
