Bio

Author and self-awareness teacher Shira Kozak has been helping individuals achieve their most heartfelt goals and dreams since 1995. Her pioneering work as a catalyst for awakening consciousness inspires others to create profound changes in their lives. Shira's passion is teaching others how to access the most natural level of their being. She says it is here, in the deepest part of our selves, that we engage the kind of joy and lasting fulfillment that our souls yearn for.

She has taught hundreds of people to effectively develop and utilize their intuitive wisdom to inform their decisions, adjust their destinations, and accomplish their dreams. Her clients include innovators, homemakers, visionaries, artists, intuitives, executives, and entrepreneurs. In addition to her love of teaching, it is her urge to write that keeps her inspired and engaged.

Shira’s first work, her story of friendship found on September 11^th 2001, Out of the Ashes, is published in the 2004 Seal Press anthology, Secrets and Confidences: the complicated truth about women’s friendships.

Her urge to succeed as an author was born.

At the same time, she made the difficult decision to leave her job with a government contractor to write full time. She produced two historical romances that garnered the attention of New York publishing houses, and in 2006 her novel THE CAVALIER finaled and received Honorable Mention in the RWA PASIC Book of Your Heart contest.

Still, her powerful experience on September the 11th remains a major catalyst that takes her down exciting new roads.

As of August 2010, her next nonfiction work, WAITING TO LIVE, is currently taking shape along with its companion book, a simple program of personal spiritual growth.

Shira lives outside Washington D.C. with her husband Roy and their delightful son, Christopher. With her (infrequent) gluts of spare time, Shira enjoys bird watching, trying out tasty new dessert recipes, blogging, and exploring the world with lifelong friends.
