By the time she
reached college, she was doing handwriting
analysis for businessmen and worked as
a masseuse for a chiropractor (who happened
to be the bishop of her church). Because of
her willowy figure and 5' 10" height,
Pepper's mother, Betty Morton, kept entering
her in beauty pageants. Winning eleven
pageants helped pay for her college
education. In her senior year she
opened Peppermill Designs, designing clothes
for individuals, drill teams, rock bands, and
restaurants.
Intuitive since
childhood, Pepper has been
"connected" by thought with her
friends and can sense their emotions and
conditions thousands of miles away. The
psychology department of her college
contacted Duke University about Pepper's
psychic abilities. A professor was flown in
from Duke and began extensive testing on
Pepper using Zener cards, or ESP cards. She
was found to be 88% accurate, guessing the
cards one ahead the majority of the time.
Soon numerous friends and family began asking
for "readings." To this day Pepper
quietly "reads" friends and family,
but without charge.
Pepper met her
husband, Skip Gregory, at college when she
was a Dream Girl for a fraternity and booked
his band for a college dance. Tired of
dating, Pepper was grateful to finally meet
someone who wasn't threatened by her ambition
and was charmed by her shyness. Skip inspired
and motivated her to write and record 10
songs, several non-fiction books, numerous
magazine articles, five children's stories,
two books on women, a documentary for the
Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, which stars
Michael O'Hearn as a superhero, public
service commercials for the American Cancer
Society and the American Red Cross, and five
grief counselor training videos for The
Sharing Place, a non-profit foundation for
helping children cope with the death of a
loved one.
In 1980, Skip
encouraged her to write screenplays which is
now her first and foremost love. Pepper has
worked with Robert Redford's Sundance Film
Festival, judged over 10,000 scripts for the
New Century Writer's and Writer's at Work
screenwriting contests, has been on many
panels representing the film industry and
taught screenwriting workshops. As the
marketing/PR director for Redman Movies &
Stories, she has been able to attend and
assist filming of television programs such as
"Touched By An
Angel," "Promised
Land" and feature
films shot in Utah. Pepper has written
scripts for "The
New Love Boat,"
"Touched By An
Angel," Disney,
Saban, Showtime, Lifetime, and is an advocate
for family films without violence. In 1998,
she started Gregory Media Group. Her motto is
"Movies Change Lives."
Currently, Pepper is
a certified grief counselor, and working
towards her Doctorate degree in psychology.
Her latest books, When
Someone Turns Into An Angel,
a picture book for children, and Conversations
With An Angel, for
adults, have paved the way for more projects.
She discovered she could communicate with
coma patients and unborn children. Her
doctoral thesis concerns coma patient therapy
and pre-birth fetal studies. Several of her
new books are about spirits contacting each
other before they meet, and that love never
dies.
Pepper
believes that everyone has the ability to be
psychic, they just need to be encouraged.
