“A memoir that reads like a chick lit novel...Life
isn’t easy when you’re growing up as a closet
gay psychic, but Dougall’s book makes it sound fun.
He’s like the gay best friend girls have been craving
since Will met Grace. And what he does as a psychic just might
surprise you.” --Dose Magazine, Canada
“Refreshing, insightful and charmingly irreverent! Dougall
Fraser gives the inside skinny on psychic phenomenon. A delightful
and engaging book.” -- Katherine Woodward Thomas, author
of Calling in “The One”: 7 Weeks to Attract
the Love of Your Life

Louis Post Dispatch

his appreciation of writers like David Sedaris.” --NY
Blade
“Fraser is a wonder of a psychic and human being, and
his memoir is a big reason for celebration in the gay community.
Skeptics should read his book to open their eyes.” --Soulfully
Gay
“Fraser’s attitude that being psychic is not
the end all and be all of his existence, and that we all have
the same ability in varying degrees, is very refreshing.”
--Culturedose.net
“Fraser’s coming out is a tale of giddy liberation.”
-- Dallas Voice
“he’s more than just a pretty face; he’s
a man on a mission -- and that is to bring the image of the
soothsayer out from behind the beaded curtain and into the
21st Century.” --PlanetOut.com
“Who is Dougall Fraser? “The Queer Guy with the
Third Eye,” as his publisher describes him. He has authored
one of the most enjoyable, well-written New Age memoirs that
you’ll ever read: But You Knew That Already: What A
Psychic Can Teach You About Life. Fraser traces his development
from a psychically-sensitive youngster in Garden City, Long
Island to successful professional psychic in Dallas and New
York City. With bouyant humor and grounded insight, he discusses
his family’s challenges, his personal struggles (weight,
loneliness, being a closeted gay man, and the coming-out process),
and the numerous missteps he’s made on the path to fulfillment
in love and career. Well before you reach the book’s
last satisfying word–”Perfect”–you’ll
understand how even talented psychics, genuinely helping thousands
of strangers, can often “get it wrong” in the
conduct of their own lives. Fraser’s growth process
has made him a more compassionate counselor and given him
a taste for honesty that makes this book touching, memorable,
and essential. Since he does not hesitate to skewer fraudulent
practices in the psychic field, examples of silliness in the
New Age movement, and incidents of cynical exploitation by
the mainstream media, this book serves also as a useful guide
for the consumer of psychic information and services.”
