Ginny Brock

Ginny Brock was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. She has lived in countries all over the world, from South Africa to the rich green tropical setting of the Seychelles, from the rolling sand dunes of Dubai and Saudi Arabia to the skyscraper jungles of Singapore. In 1969, Ginny immigrated to the United States, where she settled in Houston, Texas—a skyscraper jungle of a different sort—before making her home in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

She has authored four books. Her first book, “By Morning’s Light,” is the true story of Ginny’s reconnection with her son in the hereafter. It was released as a paperback in June 2012 and as an ebook in 2021. It tells the story of how Ginny lost her twenty-six-year-old son, Drew, and then made an astounding connection with him as he appeared to and spoke with her many times in the year following his death. The book chronicles Ginny’s journey through the darkest part of grief and into the dawning of realization that Drew lives. And finally comes her acceptance.

In response to readers’ countless questions about “By Morning’s Light,” Ginny penned a hybrid autobiography/how-to book. Travel through its pages with tales of Ginny’s childhood in South Africa. Get to know the Zulu nanny who introduced her to the beautiful and sometimes horrifying spirits of Africa, as well as the Sangomas (medicine men and women) who spoke to the spirits and shared the wonderful things they could bring to a good child: “An’ if you bad, chile, well, we don’ wan’ think ’bout that because them others smell lak dead elephant. They mus’ not come here where we are!”

“Rainbow Rising” shares stories of spirits and ghosts that Ginny has had the privilege of meeting over the course of her life. In her own words: “I’ve never met one I didn’t like. Certainly not one who smelled like a dead elephant.”

“Rainbow Rising” takes the reader through an intensive search for spirit connection, beginning with Guides and Guardian Angels. Ginny brings the fullness and beauty of the living universe (and some universes you’ve never imagined) to the forefront. She takes you to lands you’ve seen and some you haven’t, and into dimensions you thought you’d never see as you learn to recognize and greet the spirits you meet along the way.

Have you ever seen someone’s aura? Used telepathy? Talked to an animal? Have you ever heard a laugh, a chuckle—but no one’s there? Or seen a red tailed hawk do everything but stand on its head to get your attention? And when it finally does, it perches on a pole beside the porch and stays for days? Perhaps it is trying to tell you something.

Ginny’s third nonfiction book—“…as it is in Heaven”—is a poignant, entertaining offering about young children, their invisible friends, and their untainted views of angels and others that most of us cannot see.

In a different but equally successful turn, Ginny’s historical fiction novel, “When the South Wind Blows,” reconstructs an old and ghostly legend from the South Carolina Coast. The story takes place in the waning days of the Civil War. It tells the tale of plantation life in perilous times, with heart-pounding adventure and captivating characters bound together with a dash of black magic. It’s a love story so strong that it crosses dimensions, much like Ginny herself.

AND! You asked for the sequel and IT'S HERE! THE WRITER'S COTTAGE, sequel to When the South Wind Blows is is in stores and online. HAPPY READING.
