M.K. (Kathy) McDaniel is the Author of the memoir, Misfit In Hell To Heaven Expat. While dying from lung failure in 1999, she was placed on a ventilator and into a drug-induced coma. A Disturbing Near-Death Experience occurred, and although mostly traumatic, the overwhelming bliss of Heaven she also experienced shifted her religious beliefs to a deep spirituality. Kathy credits the members of IANDS (International Assn. for Near-Death Studies) for her eventual integration of the Disturbing NDE and the ability to accept the sacred mission that caused her reluctant return to Earth. She now shares her experience, and its messages, as a guest on various media and via her memoir, Misfit In Hell To Heaven Expat. About the book: Placed on a ventilator for lung failure caused by the virulent flu in 1999, First-Time Author M.K. McDaniel fought for her life in a drug-induced coma for three weeks. She found herself in an inexplicably dangerous, foreign realm during this time.Misfit In Hell To Heaven Expat is a memoir of M. K.’s tumultuous life before, during, and after her Dark Near-Death Experience. The effects of the NDE caused to her to question her understanding of everything she thought to be factual and irrefutable. As a disappointed Heaven Expat, M.K. continued to struggle to find her place and purpose during the remainder of her Earthly life. During her lengthy recovery, as M.K. reflected on the purpose of her experiences in the Afterlife, she recalled the tribulations of her family ancestors and their courage to survive. If they could overcome their overwhelming obstacles, then so could she. As memories of former earthly hellish traumas surfaced and seemed to parallel her actual Hell experiences, M.K. sought out others with the same story. She eventually found solace, hope, and understanding at International Association of Near-Death Studies meetings in Seattle. Uplifting, humorous, chilling, and engrossing, Misfit In Hell To Heaven Expat takes the reader by the hand to safely explore our human and otherworldly selves. Its gentle message will help readers find their way along the bumpy, earthly road to eternity. Please enjoy my conversation with M.K. McDaniel.
