A Word from Esther

This is a brand new website that my friend, Brian, created. I'll be traveling across the country next year, talking to those who need to be assured that your loved one is alive and well - on The Other Side.

I'd love to meet you, but until that time, let us hear from you.

My son, Dean, was an aspiring screenwriter. When he died I vowed that I would do for other new writers what I wish I had done for him. I'd love to hear from writers who are following their heart but who have no one to talk to about it. The one thing I know for sure is that you have it in you to do everything you dream of doing. A goal is simply a dream that's been kicked in the pants! One is passive, one is active. If you're capable of dreaming, you're capable of fulfilling that dream.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

BOOK & SCREENWRITING TOUR

Esther has just released the dates for her book and screenwriting tour for 2010, listed at the sidebar on the right.

Be sure to reserve your copy of "Dear Dean...Love, Mom", also linked on the right! I just read it last night and I have one word to describe it -- awesome!

In other news, Esther recorded a radio interview with a radio show known as "Strange Frequencies". Their specialty is exploring and discussing the paranormal. The interview has been aired several times at the request of listeners, so here's a "shout out" to fans of the show: she loves you all and is hoping to see you on tour!

Plus, we welcome our visitors from England, and are in the process of attempting to organize an overseas book tour after receiving so many encouraging emails. So, if you're from the UK, tell us what you think and rally the troops, I'm just looking for a valid reason to get Esther on the plane so she can meet you!

Esther Luttrell began her career as writer-director-producer of documentaries, educational films, and syndicated television programs in the Midwest. Later, in Los Angeles, she joined the CBS Script Department, then MGM Studios. When her son, Dean, an aspiring filmmaker, died, she began conducting screenwriting workshops across the country in his memory.

It was then that she experienced “accidental” meetings with others who had lost loved ones. They sought her out, they phoned from states she had never visited, and they all had the same question: “Why do I feel compelled to meet you?”

Dean was at the root of those encounters. It would be years before Esther understood what it was he had been trying to get across to her, from the Other Side. That understanding is captured between the covers of “Dear Dean…Love, Mom”, a book that is not about Esther, and not about Dean. It is about the message Dean wanted her to share with everyone who needs to be assured there is life-after-life.

After producing the feature film, “Lithium Springs”, and two WWII documentaries, she made the decision to devote her time traveling and speaking about the experiences that led her to write, “Dear Dean…Love, Mom”.

She is also the author of “Tools of the ScreenWriting Trade”, “ Till Death Do Us Part”, “Screen Writers Q & A”, and “Murder in the Movies”.

Ken Rotcop - Author

"Dear Dean...Love, Mom" is Esther's true life encounter with her son after he crossed over. This journal of life-after-life is spellbinding and mysterious, but also hopeful and enchanting.

Esther has lived an extraordinary life. A life filled one moment with exhilaration and the next moment with despair. But, finally, she is able to share her story with the world. Her nest may be empty, but she knows, in her heart of hearts, somewhere in the heavens, her bird is still flying.

Brian Burke - Screenwriter

As explained in her book, many strangers and friends have been drawn to Esther Luttrell with an unknown, yet self-compelled reason to tell her the most intimate stories of their loss of a loved one.

"Dear Dean...Love, Mom" is not only the story of a mother's long journey into an enlightened world, it shows how many of us are still searching for our own missing link to the "other side." Hopeful, yet skeptical, about obvious signs that are more than coincidental circumstance, Esther finally sat down and wrote the book which put her experiences into a new perspective.

We go about our busy lives possibly ignoring signs that are given to us along the way. Her story makes me cognizant of the fact that I should accept the signs that appear in my own life and use them to achieve my destiny.
