Quotes in the press

Quote from Belfast News Letter:

"Her story cannot fail to inspire hope in those who, like Susan, wonder where their life will go once it has been shattered. Perhaps it helps to have a name like Phoenix but 'Out of the Shadows' is proof that it is possible to rise up from the ashes once more."

Quote from Vickie Paget – Time 4 U magasine:

“When I walked out into the busy embrace of the bracing fresh air outside Belfast’s Europa Hotel, I felt decidedly odd...

But in a good way. A wee bit dizzy and dazed. A little bit shaky and light-footed. I feel a bit silly admitting this, but it was as if someone had tickled my heartstrings with soft, glittery fingertips.

‘That’s not something that happens every day!’ I hear you cry, dear reader, and you’re absolutely right - because it’s not every day that you meet Susan Phoenix.

She’s a very special lady indeed. She’s taken life by the proverbials and squeezed every painful, joyful, crushing and exquisite emotion out of it – even the magical emotions. And if you ask me there’s a lot more room for magical emotions in this world.”…………….

Out of the Shadows, a Journey Back from Grief is Susan’s astonishingly personal contribution to all of those out there who are stumbling around in the dark trying to find a way to recover from trauma. The pages burst with the wise words of a wise woman who has been there before. And her fascinating journey continues… She’s working with Aura Photography, she’s planning a new book about angels and auras, she’s spreading love wherever she goes, and she’s enjoying her life in the sun, having relocated to Spain, where she can sometimes be found sipping wine and watching the sunset from a bar suitably called ‘Heaven’. ‘Atta girl…”

"......Finished the book yesterday. It's such an incredible, intense and beautiful
ending. Wow! A highly enjoyable book you've written there, and I think an
important one because it's accessible to all and totally brings that whole
magical world nicely down to earth. Well done."- Spirit and Destiny journalist.

".......just wanted to say that I read your book - Out of the Shadows - in two
days. It was a wonderful experience, a heart warming and mind-opening read."

"..........You are one courageous lady, I’m impressed with your will power. It reminds me of my own willpower.Yours is a much more traumatic expierence, deep sorrow, I was almost in tears when I read your piece in spirit and destiny. I didn’t cry because I thought if this lady suffered this and came through it all there is hope for the
world."

“Your book has been an inspiration to me and it has made me start to look at life differently. Although just starting out on this path, I would like to continue on it.

”…. I just wanted to let you know that I have just finished your book "Out of the Shadows", which my parents told me about. It was a wonderful inspiring read. It was a great comfort, .............. Now I know I am not going mad!”

“Your story has given me hope. I have discovered meditation and crystal healing and that has helped immensely and I have started to feel an energy field every where I go

Thank you for sharing your story, it must have taken great courage to share such a personal journey with the world…………….”

Susan Phoenix & Jack Holland
Published by

  The explosive story of Ian Phoenix and the undercover war against Northern Ireland’s most deadly terrorists. Susan reveals in full and shocking detail how police operations were fought in an arena where terrorists made the rules and how the cease-fire negotiations were actually conducted. It is also an intimate story of an Irishman and his English wife who went to Northern Ireland thinking she would be the wife of an ordinary bobby and instead found herself thrown into the world of top secret subterfuge. Phoenix is a portrait of a remarkable love affair and how family life sustained Ian during the mayhem of the Troubles.
