About this author

Individualist with a keen interest in religion, spirituality, philosophy, and psychic phenomena. Author of two science fiction novels ('Ulterior' and 'Chion') and one book about esoteric spirituality ('Reality Check').


Since publishing 'Reality Check' I have written several bonus chapters that I'm making available online to readers who have purchased the paperback. To access the new material, visit my website (www.darrylsloan.com) and click on 'Bonus Chapters.' When prompted for a password, use the surname of the book's illustrator, in lower case. You'll find it printed on the back of your book. Read more of this blog post »
