About me:

I am an author, writer/journalist, artist and singer. Born in Bath, I now live on the inspirational southwestern coast of Pembrokeshire in Wales. Most of my writing is esoteric in nature... I enjoy writing (and finding out) about the things we are never taught at school! I aim to find a balance between all things spiritual and informative - a 'grounded' spirituality, and I have authored two books in an attempt to do just this.

The first was entitled 'Soul Companions: Conversations With Contemporary Wisdom-Keepers - A Collection of Encounters of Spirit' published by O-Books. The book is a collection of interviews with over 45 of the world's most renowned shaman, seers, visionaries and sages, and took me two years to put together. You can find out more at www.soulcompanions.org - an online community, bringing together the Wisdom-Keepers featured in Soul Companions.

My second book is entitled The Dangerous Man: Conversations with Free-Thinkers and Truth-Seekers - A Collection of Alternative Research, also published by O Books and available in 2010. For more info about the book, visit: www.ArcConvention.org

I will be launching the book on February 21st-22nd 2010 in Bath, with the first ARC (Alternative Research Community) Convention, which will feature lectures and discussion with many of those featured in my new book. Guest of honour is Michael Tsarion. Tickets are selling quickly, so book soon to avoid disappointment! The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself... Almost inevitably, he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable. ~ H.L. Mencken They are dangerous because there are so many of them. It is one thing to have a few nuts or dissidents. They can be dealt with, justly or otherwise, so that they do not pose a danger to the system. It is quite another situation when you have a true movement – millions of citizens believing something, particularly when the movement is made up of society’s average, successful citizens. ~ William Colby (late director of CIA) The most dangerous man in the world is the contemplative who is guided by nobody. He trusts his own visions. He obeys the attractions of an inner voice, but will not listen to other men. He identifies the will of God with his own heart. ~ Thomas Merton, writer and Trappist monk (1915 –1968) Believe me! The secret to reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously! ~ Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 – 1900) Be seeing you... ;-)
