There are many different types of mysteries. Juanita is attracted to two types in particular.
The first type is unsolved mysteries and unexplained phenomena. Early on, Juanita ‘got’ that different people are aware of different levels and manifestations of energy and that the veils between them were very thin. She has always been aware that magic is alive and well in the world – available to those who are willing to work to be available to it.
The second type is the puzzle or ‘fairplay’ mystery; those mysteries in which the reader or audience are given all the clues and information needed to solve ‘whodunit’. As part of Juanita’s training in writing corporate mystery entertainment, she spent many years reading and dissecting the works of Dame Agatha Christie – the master of the ‘fairplay’ mystery.
Juanita is available to speak and give workshops or seminars on either of these two types of mysteries.
