Downey, Lianne: - Lianne Downey is the author of Cosmic Dancer, a novel; The Liberator: A Psychic-Spiritual History of the Orion Empire; and Speed Your Evolution, a past-life awareness workbook for spirit nerds and other cosmic questers. She began her writing career as an arts journalist, working for The Los Angeles Times and other publications. She lives in sunny Southern California, works in the midst of an urban food forest, and waltzes (and foxtrots and tangos) with her writer husband whenever spacious ballrooms are available.For The Liberator, the authorship is more complicated. This work is the culmination of an interdimensional collaboration between individuals living in higher-dimensional states and the psychic transceiver on Earth, Lianne Downey, whose clerical efforts have brought this important lost history into book form.
