Book News!
I am pleased to announce the availability of God’s Pretenders in audio book form narrated by Lorraine Ansell. It is available at all Amazon sites and also at Audible. Harry Potter has nothing on these real wizards and alchemists who wielded God-like magical powers and performed the most amazing magical spells.
These amazing magicians, wizards, and warlocks could:
Change the weather
Heal the sick
Raise the dead
Turn lead into gold
Be in two places at once
Make fire with their will power
Levitate
Live forever and never age
The book contains chapters on the following magicians:
Apollonius of Tyana – Wizard, Wanderer & Sage
Simon Magus – The Pretender Messiah
Michael Scot – The Great Scottish Wizard
Nicholas Flamel and the Book of Abraham the Jew
Paracelsus and the Beginnings of Science
Henry Cornelius Agrippa – The Occult Philosopher
John Dee & Edward Kelly – Elizabethan Magical Adventurers
Sir Francis Bacon / St. Germain – Royal Adept?
Sir Isaac Newton – Scientist and Secret Alchemist
Eliphas Levi – Founder of Modern Magic
Austin Osman Spare – Artist and Dark Magician
Frantisek Bardon – The Czech Master Magician
The Ordinary Magician – A Modern Tale of Magick
Listen now to learn about the amazing lives of real magicians and discover that fact is indeed often stranger than fiction….
In addition, Your Haunted Lives is now also available everywhere in paperback format!

Chaos Rising
A couple of decades ago, as walls in Europe fell, one felt as if perhaps humanity was on a good path. There was a sense of the old restrictions falling away and the smell of opportunity was in the air. One felt as if the forces of chaos were momentarily in retreat and the forces of light began to move forward. People wanted their freedom, they were ready to embrace the new structures that were emerging and the ugly side of chaos – nationalism – was in retreat.
Contrast that with today.
Nationalism is rampant again seized upon by Politicians eager to point fingers at scapegoats like immigrants, Mexicans, Homosexuals and any other group perceived to be the villain and easy to blame. The UK wants out of the EU, Russia is invading and annexing, ISIS and its ilk are over running and enforcing its vicious satanic form of religion; nationalists are everywhere pulling apart structures designed to create liberty, equality and fraternity and religious zealots and bigots have re-emerged. Just for good measure, the two are often actually one and the same. The forces of chaos sense their opportunity to bring darkness and extinguish much of the light.
I read an interesting blog article today in which the writer discovered an important truth. He comments on ‘social reflection’. He discovered that the world reflects back what you give it. In many ways, he discovered perhaps, that “Love is Acceptance“. We constantly measure others as a reflection of ourselves – by projecting ourselves onto them. We essentially blame everyone except ourselves for our plight. We turn a blind eye to injustice and even worse, support the forces of chaos and their finger pointing by blocking empathy.
Nationalism is one pit of chaos in which people group together in some myth of common identity and shared values (not OUR own values but that of a group, clan or gang), and we have seen over and over what nationalism can do. Waving your St. George flag, Stars and Stripes, St. Andrews Cross or whatever seems harmless enough in of itself but it is a symptom of this need to hide within a group and take on the characteristics of that group. From there it is but a short step away for a Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin or Adolf Hitler to cleverly and innocuously lead the group into Hell. The same applies to religion. The need to belong allows us to differentiate. It allows us to conveniently mute our reactions allowing things we would normally not allow. It allows us to project the part of ourselves we dislike onto an external reality and then rather than eradicate that we do not like within ourselves, we persecute those we have reflected it upon. As Nick Verron also reflected upon, we block our empathy in the process.
What I see happening right now is a wave of resurgence of nationalism, religious zealotry and chaos. The balance of those who seek to blame others as opposed to accept personal responsibility has tipped in favor of chaos and darkness again. For anyone planning to vote for splitting, for pitting one nation against another, for stopping some other group having their basic needs satisfied, I say think again. Put yourself in others shoes and walk as they do. This is the path to Hell. You are walking away from your inner light and towards chaos and darkness. Rather, it is time to accept responsibility and reflect on the microcosm within each of us that reflects and creates such chaos in the macrocosm that we all share.

Tales From LaLa Land
The working title for my next ebook – a collection of fictional short stories about death, birth and the inbetween – is Tales from LaLa Land. I may add a couple of adjectives before finalizing it I suppose….
Now – why LaLa land? Well, thats where my ex-wife told me I spent most of my time…..

Self-Publishing Pop
I’m not sure why I write books. It’s certainly not for the money! I guess I just enjoy the challenge of creating something, floating it by people and seeing if I can make a success of it! To me, putting out books has something of the flavor of the pop industry in the 70’s – you put out a single and watch it chart – or not – hoping to be #1 on the hit parade for a week or two all the while knowing that you are only getting a small pittance for the record. It is simply fun. Especially when combined with things that interest you.
You see, I enjoy strange stories of the paranormal, I am interested in the occult, magic and the nature of reality – why are we here? and that sort of question and, I do like jotting down words and creating pictures on a word canvas – poetry. So thats what I write about…. At the moment, I am writing some fictional short stories that fall into the supernatural, sci-fi, reality and death sort of area… I’m really having fun with them and soon, I will unleash the result on an unsuspecting audience – you! Who know, it may sell.
I am actually grateful that I have had a modicum of success with my books recently. I have had #1’s with My Haunted Life Too, Ghosts in the Machines and Your Haunted Lives. Many others have charted… My latest challenge is to repeat that in the US as my books seem to sell better in the UK right now. See, the analogy with pop music works – I have to break through in the USA……

So Many questions….
Got to love the laughter
Got to give it soul
No way that should matter
After all, it’s just another hole
Falling in and falling out
This is the year of doubt
I’m not sure what’s up
Not sure what’s in or out
I’m spinning away slowly
Lazily heading south
Words are forming
But never leave my mouth
The journey continues
But does it have a purpose
Does it have a reason or why?
Does it end when I die?
Did anything truly matter?
A burst of energy
Scattered light too bright
A burning forgotten moment
Coming just to be going
Here just to be gone
Now I am longing
To know
To learn
What was it all about?

Create Your Own Reality – Out Now on Audiobook
How to Create Your Own Reality is out now on audiobook. Narrated by Lorraine Ansell, the book is on Audible and will shortly be available on Amazon sites as well. You can hear a sample of the book here and you can read Lorraine’s experiences after narrating the book here.
By the way, the book has its own website that you may want to visit for updates and details.
It also has a book trailer….
And here is the most recent review…
This was a great book! Easy to read. You feel his passion for truth. I have read most of the books written by Maxwell Maltz, Joseph Murphy, Eckhart Tolle, Neale Donald Walsh, all the teachers of the Secret and so many others on my own quest for truth over the last decade.
This one should be taught to our youth. If we all took responsibility, as the author discusses, the world would be a much better place. The section on meditation was well written with excellent examples for the beginner or someone like myself who has been meditating for years.
In my search on Kindle for spiritual and self help books I came across this gem of a book. Read it all the way through and if you’re lucky, you’ll grasp the deeper meaning within it and come away realizing the power we have and how to use it.

Audio Book Fever!
I am suddenly a fan of the audio book. Take a listen to Darren Marlar narrating Ghosts In The Machines or Alan Philip Ormond narrating My Haunted Life Too and you will see why. The voices bring the stories to life and add a whole new dimension.
Right now, I have three audio books available;
Ghosts In The Machines
Your Haunted Life Too
The Art of Science
But several more are following…
Next up will be Darren Marlar narrating my current Amazon hit ebook – Your Haunted Lives. This will be quickly followed by Loraine Ansell narrating How To Create Your Own Reality and also God’s Pretenders – a look at 13 real life wizards, magicians and alchemists…. Alan Philip Ormond is also hard at work on the audio book version of My Haunted Life…..
Listen to a sample and buy one of my audio books now….
