ABOUT THE CHANNEL, AUTHOR, or SITE:
Channelers:
-- What is the channeling method (conscious, light trance, unconscious trance, automatic writing/typing, spirit board, pendulum, alone, with a group, etc.)?
Hypnosis of a subject who then makes contact with and relays a message from some dead person or entity.
-- What is the format? Is it question-and-answer from the channel or an audience, or is the channel simply taking dictation?
Looks to be a question and answer format. She asks the person under hypnosis a question and the person will confer with the entity and then give an answer, which she writes down. Sometimes the entity gives information without a question.
-- How long has the channel been doing it, how did they start, do they channel multiple entities?
The channel, she wouldn't call herself a channel - see video link below, has been doing it since the late 70s - early 80's.
Her first entity came through as she was performing past life regression on a person and eventually identified himself as Nostradamus, who said that she must pass this new and correct interpretation of Nostradamus' quatrains to the world because big changes where coming. Later entities came through patients which relayed information about a past life (such as being around Jesus). Then she started having entities make contact who said they were aliens. Now 'light beings' are who she is communicating with through patients. What is interesting and was mentioned about the Nostradamus entity is that if she switches the patient under hypnosis the entity coming through will pick up where they left off without skipping a beat.
-- Does the channel comment on the material, research it, etc.?
Hard to tell. Didn't find any information that she researches and questions what is being said to her. Maybe the research is in her books. Haven't found anything on the web. I think what she terms as 'research' is listening to, recording and reporting what is said. At least that is the impression given in the video interview. The only thing I could find that mentions that she does research is below. One of the blurbs about her book also contains that she does research and appears on many sites that have her book to purchase:
http://www.amazon.com/They-Walked-Jesus-Experiences-Christ/dp/1886940096/sr=1-5/qid=1167851928/ref=sr_1_5/102-3279730-5792910?ie=UTF8&s=books
Yes. She sells her books through Ozark Mountain Publishing and teaches her 'style' of hypnosis in short (a couple days) classes. http://www.ozarkmt.com/cannon.htm which it seems she owns:

-- Are there any other clues that indicate a relationship to or influence by other channels, groups, organizations, etc.?
Not that I found.
Book Authors
-- Don't read it, of course, just look up the book on sites that sell it, see what the descriptions are, look for reviews on the web, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc. Basically, find out all you can about the content.
Didn't find much about the content. What is available seems to be the same speil but on a different sites. The only content available on the web is a summary of the main points of the Nostradamus books found at: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/nostradamus/part1/ and a few other sites.
-- What are reviews of their books like? Are there reviews on sites that promote a certain point of view, theory, prophecy, etc.
Reviews are of the type "read this book it will change your life."
-- Do they have a web site? What's on it?
Yes, http://www.ozarkmt.com which doesn't have much information on it other than information for hypnosis classes, upcoming conferences, the books she sells, and some books of other authors.
-- Does the person appear to be a serious researcher or just a promoter of some point of view?
She appears to basically record the information given by entities and then passes it along in her books and lectures about what the entities are saying. Can't tell if she does any research besides this without actually looking at one of her recent books.
All Web Sites
-- Are there links on the site to other known people or groups? Who?
http://www.bbsradio.com/ She does a weekly radio program on this site. You have to pay to have access.
http://www.consciousmedianetwork.com
http://www.ozarkresearch.org/ Founder, Harold McCoy, is a retired Military intelligence officer who has government funding for research.
Not that I can discern.
ABOUT THE MATERIAL ITSELF:
-- What is the central message(s), if any? This will usually be repeated often.
Quoted below says a lot about her current perspective which is reiterated in more detail in the video found at http://www.consciousmedianetwork.com/members/dcannon.htm. The video also provides the best information I could find on the net about how her channeling came to be and what has happened since it started. Paraphrasing what she is saying about aliens and the future (found near the end of the video):
ETs here to help us. Helping us evolve. They are not negative Some people are pessimistic and question this. The ETs follow and respect Free will, but will standoff and not do anything until humans cause things, such as atomic war or environmental destruction, that approaches the point of no return. Then if the earth can't be saved the ET's will work to save and move some humans to another planet, that is being prepared by the ETs. Abductions are being done to gather material to seed this new planet and to ultimately keep the human race from going extinct.
