Beyond the Veil: A Caul Bearer's Handbook (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781492326908)

Shannon Lee Wolf is a caul bearer. Born in Virginia, her parents divorced when she was two years old, just before the birth of her younger brother who was also born with the caul. Her mother remarried two years later when living in her hometown in New Hampshire. Their growing family moved eight times in eleven years, finally settling in the Green Mountain State of Vermont. Shannon has one sister and four brothers. She attended high school in Montpelier then left for Massachusetts at age eighteen to attend the Swain School of Design where she majored in graphic design. She married and had one son who now abides in North Carolina and is pursuing a career as a DJ. She divorced her husband after seventeen years and moved back to Vermont, where she took two semesters at Vermont College, studying psychology. She then achieved her life coaching certification from Spencer Institute's online course out of California. As a practicing life coach, she led a women's self-awareness group and wrote online articles. After a major procedure applied by her acupuncturist, Shannon was suddenly overwhelmed with images and a story - and she began to write her first piece of fiction. She finished and indie-published this piece, entitled "Dover Graye" in the spring of 2009. In 2012 she began revising and expanding Dover Graye and entitling it "Rhapsody for Dover Graye - The Boy Born of the Caul". Shannon now lives with her life partner and continues to write. She has also dedicated her life to the cause of caul bearers across the world, founding "Caul Bearers United - Lifting the Veil". She seeks to educate the general public on what the caul represents as well as lending a support system for caul bearers and their families. While Shannon suffers from the disabling affects of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia, she continues to write. Her upcoming project is a book of short stories.
