Addendum provided by Abigail Richards, LCSW
for ‘Other Shoes, Other Feet’, by Dr. Harvey S. Grossman
Charles and Joyce Baxter: Released from further mandated therapy by Judge Marion Lange. After the one-year anniversary of their therapy session with Dr. Grossman, there have been no relapses of violent behavior.
Dr. Harvey S. Grossman: Returned to practice after a hiatus of three months while undergoing therapy, and preparing a book regarding the use of ‘past lives hypnosis’ using this case to highlight the process. Dr. Grossman states that he believes he shared a former life with the Baxters in the person of Dr. Joseph Lasker , who served on staff at the Florida State Hospital in Chattahoochee, Florida. Dr. Lasker, while a general practice physician, specialized in mental health. The Florida State Hospital was, in part, an asylum for the insane. Dr. Grossman told me that the records of Dr. David Weiss (author of Many Lives, Many Masters) indicate that having multiple people repeatedly interact in previous lives is not unknown, though how those souls are related can either repeat or change (i.e. A father/son in one life may become Army comrades in another). There are no records of Dr. Lasker after the death of Agnes Spettigue located.
Historical detail: The description of the pink walls and blue/white ceilings in the store where the Baxters saw themselves Christmas shopping at may have been at Burdines, whose first store opened in Barstow, Florida, in 1896. Over time, Burdines eventually became known as Macy’s.
Mark and Agnes Spettigue: US Army records indicate that Mark Spettigue joined the military after the death of his wife, Agnes. He died at the Battle of Las Guasimas on June 24th, 1898, a member of the 1st US Volunteer Cavalry under the command of General “Fighting Joe” Wheeler. Note that there was no residence of record by the newly married couple or of Mark Spettigue before their marriage, but Mark Spettigue’s mother and father resided in Barstow, Florida.
Historical detail: The second couple in attendance at the hospital where Agnes Spettigue died may have been Joshua Spettigue and his wife, Maribelle, residents of Brooklyn, NY. Hospital records indicate their presence in their sign-in register, just below the names of Mark and Agnes Spettigue. It is possible that the vision of ice skating by the subjects who lived in Florida may indicate a visit by Mark and Agnes Spettigue to his brother’s residence.
Personal note: This case was instrumental in encouraging my focus on therapeutic applications of hypnosis, and it is my honor and privilege to share an office and practice with Dr. Harvey S. Grossman. We are looking forward to moving to a new and LARGER office.

I invite you to peruse the short stories on this site. These are all at no charge. Keep in mind the styles found in these stories are also woven into the novels also found on this site.
VANESSA, the flagship of a great quintology, is offered to you at a respectful price of FREE. The other four in that series and both in a second series, purchased as a group, cost less than the average book at Barnes and Noble. How fair is that?

NOVELS BY THE AUTHOR
TIME SNAP – “In The Beginning” are the first words of Genesis, and they tell us that the first thing to be created was Time. When the machinery of Time fractures, all animal life on Earth freezes except those near enough to Heaven’s observation portals. While Heaven races to repair the machinery of Time, Host watch over Humans wandering through frozen life seeking other survivors, while watching out for Opposition Host.
HELL RISE - The sequel to Time Snap. Hell is not what it used to be, as the Fallen Host radically change how they manage Human souls. One of Lucifer’s leading Angels wants Moriah back in Hell and will stop at nothing to either bring her back, or destroy her.
VANESSA – A mentally fractured and hideously powerful spirit of a Georgian plantation and slave owner hold in thrall the men and mounts of a Civil War foraging party. She is avenging the death of her husband and children by putting the enemy spirits through a daily ritual of Hell. Ryan Fitzgalen was rendered spiritually clairvoyant and caused to be the world’s oldest man by a WW II experiment using electromagnetic power for naval stealth technology. He and the spirit of his deceased wife, Vanessa, are no match for Mad Annie, and so must call in his distant descendents to even the playing field.
VANESSA: FAMILY TREE – Sequel to VANESSA. The epic battle was over at the Edwards Estate. The Fitzgalen Family regroups to lick its wounds, mourn its dead, and pursue their mission of saving souls stuck on the Earth plane. What happens when an underground spirit desperately hiding from judgment beneath the ground doesn’t want to be found, and is ready to strike anyone who tries?
VANESSA: ALL HEAVEN BREAKS LOOSE – Sequel to Vanessa: Family Tree. Ever since humans began to wonder of the world’s miracles, knowledge of death and what comes after was precious and elusive. The Fitzgalen Family appears to have new authority in this awareness. That unwanted notoriety has a way of creating devotees, and very powerful enemies.
VANESSA: MENDED HARPS – Sequel to Vanessa: All Heaven Breaks Loose. When a human spirit merged its energies with an ancient oak tree during the Battle of the Rhinebeck Cemetery, a new species was born. Amidst legal entanglements that hamstring the growing Fitzgalen Family’s efforts to pursue its holy mission of spirit liberation, a greater question arises; how do you deal with an emerging competitive species?
VANESSA: FALLEN COLORS – Sequel to Vanessa: Mended Harps. Conclusion of the VANESSA series. The world’s religions have witnessed great changes, miracles, and proof that the dead walk the earth. Earth feels poised on the brink of a great change. The one who has a hope of leading the world away from cataclysmic holy wars of dominance is an autistic child, who is guarded by a being of great power…an Angel, Avenger Class.
