The big Substack Debate--free or paid subscriptions?

Soul Work & Piercing Beauty: Loving and Grieving--my poetry books on Amazon

While pondering this question just now I realized I dislike reading a post and coming up against a Paywall, that prevents further reading unless you pay for subscription. Yet could my readers support me in any way? I’m putting hours of time giving it all away for free—and I feel so pleased to be able to share it with you. I don’t want to charge for a subscription. So…what to do?

I have written 7 books—2 of them poetry books. The last one, “Piercing Beauty; Loving and Grieving” was written after the passing of my adult daughter, and the first one is a compilation of poems called “Soul Work”. They are both available to buy on Amazon…hm! Well, dear readers of my posts, would you consider supporting me with buying my books?

And for those of you who have an interest in astrology I have my other books here: North Node Astrology The most popular one has been “North Node Astrology; Rediscovering Your Life Direction and Soul Purpose” followed by “South Node Astrology; Uncovering Your Soul’s Karmic Inheritance.” The are on kindle and audible as well. For those of us of a certain age (42 and beyond) there is “Astrology for the Third Act of Life” and for those who want the basic nuts and bolts of how to understand your chart: “Lifting the Veil; Becoming Your Own Best Astrologer”

If you go to the linked site above you will also see there: “Sweet Synchronicity; Finding Annie Besant; Discovering Krishnamurti” which is actually a memoir of a seven year period of my life in California where I wrote an award-winning screenplay based on the lives of these two people.

And for those of you who like to read novels and memoirs, I wrote a book about a time of my life when I was divorced and then….well, you have to read it. It has astrology in it but it reads more like a memoir: “Saturn Returns; The Private Papers of a Reluctant Astrologer.”

So…no paywalls, but I’d love it if you helped support my writing by checking these books out—if not for yourself, maybe as a gift for someone you know? “Piercing Beauty” is a beautifully designed book of paintings and poetry that can help someone who is grieving move through their process….
