“The Temples of Light opens the Egyptian temple portals for anyone on our planet, and you don’t even have to travel to Egypt! By taking these journeys, you can align your heart with the wisdom keys of the temples; then the wisdom of the temples awakens within.”

BARBARA HAND CLOW: AUTHOR OF THE MAYAN CODE: TIME ACCELERATION AND AWAKENING THE WORLD MIND

“The Temples of Light is one of the most profound books of experiential integration that I’ve ever encountered. Embrace it, live it and The Temples of Light will shift your life. A journey with this book is about embracing living energy.”

REV. MARJ BRITT, SENIOR MINISTER, UNITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA

“Whether or not you have had the opportunity to travel to Egypt, this book provides an opportunity for everyone to experience the personal transformation and initiation available within the temples of the Nile. Danielle takes us on a journey through time and provides clear, easy to follow explanations of Egyptian symbols bringing them to life so that we can awaken our own master within.”

ANI WILLIAMS, HARPIST, SOUND THERAPIST, RECORDING ARTIST AND COMPOSER OF HOMAGE TO HATHOR

24. What makes this a book that other people MUST read and WHY? The Temples of Light opens up sacred rites of passage that historically have been kept secret to assist with everyday life issues-ancient wisdom for modern times.

This book provides vital information about how to thrive as we move from the Piscean Age to the Aquarian Age, from the will to the heart.

It supports this cultural shift in consciousness as well as the individuals personal growth by providing energetic support and practical exercises.

25. What people NEED to read this book and WHY?

This book is for those who seek to solve a personal problem in their life such as a lack of health, money, happiness, love, community or fulfillment. They are interested in self-growth, spirituality, law of attraction, the Egyptian Mysteries, magic, ancient wisdom, shamanism, raising consciousness, intuition, healing, radiant health, emotional freedom, elevation of consciousness, sacred sites and more. They need to read this book because it offers a step by step process designed to take them  from where they are to where they want to be all the while set on the stage of  the changing times.

26. What sparks your creativity? Any tips to help others spark their own creativity? Travel sparks my creativity, whether this is the travel of my mind through a great book or physical travel to a new destination. Relaxation and play also spark my creativity. As far as tips to help others spark their creativity I would recommend spending time doing things that bring them joy. This allows the natural creativity to rise to the surface, while ‘trying’ to be creative or forcing a project may have the opposite effect.

27. What do you think motivates people to become authors? What motivated you to get into this unusual industry? I think people’s passion about their subject motivates them to be authors. This may be a message they have to share to help others or an amazing story that provides relaxation and a vacation of the mind.

I became an author because it was a natural evolution of my purpose and my path to assist others in their journey of self growth. I felt the information shared in my book was gifted to me, a divine inspiration and that it was important that I shared it with the world in a form that could reach many.

28. Tell me about the most unusual things you have done to promote any books?

One of the main ways I promote anything is through meditation, inspired action and visualization. I apply the spiritual principles I live my life by to my business and all aspects of my life. I believe that the people who are meant to find my book will.

29. If a potential reader thinks that your book wouldn’t interest them, what would you say to convince them to buy? I’m thinking something better than “Its the greatest book ever.” Give me something more specific 🙂 I believe that some readers may think my book doesn’t interest them because it is such a specific niche and they may overlook it because they aren’t interested in Egypt or believe it can’t help them. However, if they are interested in living a better life, having more health, wealth and happiness then the book is a great resource for them.

30. Why does the topic of your book interest you? Why would it interest potential readers? Give us a hook to reel in new readers.
