About me:

The Celtic Holy Grail Quest paperback out now.
Visit my website for more information on this and other new material coming out soon!"Link to my website"

My passion is for writing, I like to convey impressions in my mind as vividly as I see them myself. I live, sleep and breathe writing. It is my life, my hopes, my dreams. It is the contents of my mind waiting to be cast onto paper, conveying all that is in me, my essence, my spirit, my life. It is all that has been and all that is before me. I paint pictures with words. The keyboard is my pallete, a blank screen my canvas upon which I draft my written images. In immersing the reader in these texts, brought forth from deep within me, I hope to move the reader and have a positive impact on their lives.

As a long term sufferer of depression, writing became an outlet for the pressures on my mind. Part of this writing took me on a journey into ancient Briton and the Celtic people. From here I stumbled backwards on to the legend of the Holy Grail, a Medieval Tale that had its origins in Celtic roots.


This was the start of my book "The Celtic Holy Grail Quest", more than just a Grail Quest, a journey to heal my mind. The book provides many insights into mental health problems and has numerous healing and coping strategies within its text. My aim in writing this book is to remove the stigma associated with so-called 'Mental Disorders'. These are not always illnesses, but can be ways for the mind to adapt to new or trying situations.


I set out as an accidental Grail knight, seeking I'm not sure what? Through the dark passageways of my mind and battling hidden demons along the way, I finally reached my goal and attained what I was seeking.




I hope people will find what they are looking for in my book and I can bring light, back into fellow sufferers. Although the book unveils the dark desperation that manifests itself in mental illness, I also recount many amusing tales, for where there is darkness there is also light. One thing I always preach is “laughter is good for the soul.”


I want to put a smile on people's faces and bring light back into people's lives; acting as a guide from the dark clutches of despair and making people realise how special they are. People with mental health problems are often misunderstood - I have found in fellow sufferers some of the most precious people on this planet.

The Celtic Holy Grail Quest, Out now!

See my website for extracts and more info!

Who I'd like to meet:


Supporters of mental health and spiritual issues. Those looking for deeper beauty hidden within and those who wish to regain the lost wisdom of the ancients. People who are prepared to think outside the box.


Having finished my book, I culminated my Holy Grail quest with a visit to Rosslyn Chapel for a recital of the Frozen Music, decoded from detailed carvings within Rosslyn Chapel, which were mentioned in the Major international bestselling book The Da Vinci Code. It was the culmination of 20 years of research by Thomas J. Mitchell and has been brought back to life with the help of his son Stuart Mitchell.


This work has been broadcast on major international TV and radio stations and has been high in the UTube download charts.


The Music was performed by the Rosslyn Motet, who regenerated its beautiful and haunting melodies, after 500 years of being cast in stone.


It was an event I will treasure for the rest of my life.

    I'm so glad you have changed jobs and are happy, prayers pays off. =]
    We went to a two churches here and everybody is soooo friendly.
    We visited some of our new neighbors and had some tea and cake.
    It's a lot different than We're used to.
    We have a lot of different denominations here so the churches are
    different here than they are there where everyone is mostly Catholic.
    Les says hello from your American brother. =] Take care and hope to talk with you soon.


    Love and peace,

    Greetings David,
    I thought you'd appreciate a couple of quote I heard recently. The first is Tolkien and was sent to me by a friend on here. I think it captures the power of narrative (myth even) so perfectly.

    " It’s like in the great stories - the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something … that there’s some good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for."
    -
    Sam Gamgee, The Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers

    The second quote is from G K Chesterton

    "Fairy tales do not teach children that dragons exist. They know that already. Fairy tales teach children that dragons can be killed."

    Sweet words are easy to say, Sweet things are easy 2 buy, But sweet people are difficult to find Life ends when U stop dreaming, Hope ends when U stop believing, Love ends when U stop caring, Friendship ends when U stop sharing. So share this with whom ever U consider a friend. To love without condition, To talk without intention, To give without reason, And to care without expectation is the heart of a true friend... Forward this to all the people whom U consider as your true friend. Dont forget to send it back to ME ..... If U Care........ Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile. Send to all the people you love or don't want to lose in 2009, even me.... If you get 3 back, you are a great friend

    I hope your week has been good so far!!! hugs..Nina
