Louisa Oakley Green didn’t believe in psychic phenomena when she met her husband, Stephen. But more than 20 years later, her views have changed. Her two books in the Psychic Bystander series reflect her journey from skeptic to believer through hundreds of paranormal stories involving her family and everyday people across the United States and around the world.

A scribe for several decades, her passion for the written word is evidenced in a career that has included working as a newspaper reporter, humor columnist, health magazine editor, public relations manager, advertising copywriter, medical writer, and finally, executive creative director of a digital advertising agency. These days, she earns her living as a freelance writer.

A graduate of the University of South Carolina School of Journalism, she has also studied biology, biochemistry, and anatomy in support of her medical writing. In addition, she spent two years learning how to draw up and interpret traditional astrology charts through the Faculty of Astrological Studies in London. Her work and interests maintain a curiosity-inspired balance between science and mysticism.
