About the author
Linda Backman writes on past-life regression and reincarnation, and her books identify her as a psychologist who has worked for decades as a regressionist. Soul Design, published by Llewellyn Publications, presents itself as a guide to understanding reincarnation, soul origins, and life purpose through regression work. Souls on Earth, also from Llewellyn, extends the same framework to what the book describes as interplanetary past lives, proposing the presence of souls with origins beyond Earth incarnated in human bodies. Both books are written in a first-person, case-study-driven style aimed at readers already interested in past-life regression as a framework for self-understanding, rather than at a skeptical or academic audience. Readers drawn to Backman's work are typically looking for regression-based approaches to questions of identity, purpose, and the soul's history across lifetimes.
