about liberty forrest

For as long as I can remember, writing and storytelling have been part of my life.

I’m an award-winning author, and along with writing more than a dozen books (mostly non-fiction), my articles have been published in newspapers and magazines internationally.

But these days, I’m focusing on what lights me up most: fiction.

I was reading at the age of four, and by five or six I was devouring chapter books like other kids devoured sweets.

But life had its own plot twists for me and it would be decades before I dared let myself focus on writing professionally.

Before I was writing books, I walked my own decades-long path of deep emotional healing and personal transformation. It provided a solid foundation when my professional life followed suit.

With a background in social work, counselling and hypnosis, for many years I supported people through painful and life-changing experiences.

As a result of my work, I’ve created several guided meditations and other tools for self-help and spiritual practice. (Curious about them? You can take a peek here!)

I’m a lifelong psychic and medium, and I did frequent live “psychic phone-ins” for five years on the BBC…

I also did stage work as a medium in the UK, connecting audience members with their loved ones in spirit.

All my lived experience comes together in both my fiction and my non-fiction works.

Whether through heartfelt small-town romance or deep family sagas, my stories are rooted in what I know best:

Hope. Healing. Humour. And the magic that lives inside us, even when it feels like all is lost.
