My guest this week is the author of Animal Voices. Dawn Baumann Brunke is a writer who specializes in the areas of healing, metaphysics and spirituality. She has published over three dozen interviews, including talks with natural medicine writer Dr. Andrew Weil; former NASA consultant Richard Hoagland; noted speakers Gregg Braden, Patricia Sun and Caroline Myss; and many animal communicators.

In addition to Animal Voices, Dawn is the author of Who Lives Here?, a series of animal and nature books for children. She has published short stories in LadyBug (for children), Leviathan (anthology), and Rosebud (literary quarterly), and has won both Grand Prize and Editor's Choice in the 1997 and 1998 Alaska Daily News/University of Anchorage creative writing contest. She has also published book reviews and nonfiction articles on a variety of subjects, and contributed to a book series regarding the healing benefits of essential oils. For the past six years, Dawn has been the Editor of Alaska Wellness, a bi-monthly magazine focused on health and wellness for the body, mind and spirit.

Animal Voices explores the fascinating world of human-animal communication and the underlying spiritual connection between us all. Two dozen leading interspecies communicators share their conversations with a wide range of domesticated and wild animals as we explore the deeper nature of our relationship with the animal kingdom. Over 100 animals - from dogs, cats, horses and birds to bears, whales, dolphins, and mosquitoes - contribute their wisdom, insight and humor.
