Meditation tips, the hidden meaning of the Tree of Life, Solomon's Keys, Twin Souls and celestial guidance make for a truly fascinating read for everyone seeking answers to the mysteries of 'life' and 'man'.

The Anemone Bowl

The tale of an afterlife.

“If the inability to see other than that which you wish to see can be considered a kind of heaven, then presumably the inability to escape self-knowledge must be one version of hell.”

The ill-fated consequences of happenstance: Born into an English country village community in the 1950s, a young boy is led, through a series of events over which he in effect has little or no control, to take the life of a neighbour’s child, and subsequently his own. And this is the tale, if there can be any, of the subsequent accounting.

The book itself is set in an ever-mutating afterlife that also provides an interim existence before rebirth – an illusory world where, of necessity, it is in large part conveniently repressed memories that hold sway, and where for Eric (if we can suppose that to be his name), each step forward is also leading (with some level of perversity) to the truths of his own personal past transgressions.

The Animus of Identity: Shame

What are you?

Who are you?

What is it that makes you, you?

Why are you?

Explore with me as I use my own experiences, along with those of others I have met along my journey, the concept of identity, and how your trauma and circumstances can shape the person you become.

The Arrival of Jessica BunnyDuck

One day, Mummy Duck is returning from the shops when she finds an abandoned baby under an oak tree. Who is this baby, and what will the Duck family do to help her? Read on to find out...

The story behind Jessica BunnyDuck is simple: it is OK to be different. The origins of the story go back over 30 years, when the author was working with Cher and had begun to learn about the Craniofacial Children Association (CCA) which Cher had been actively working on since starring in the film Mask in 1985. When he met the children supported by the CCA during a retreat in Texas, he was in awe at how they supported each other without question and how open and honest they were with each other. This is when he came up with the idea of Jessica BunnyDuck.

‘Much like children with craniofacial conditions, Jessica BunnyDuck deals with being different and finding a place in which to belong.’
from the Foreword by Cher

The Art of Sales

I consider the art of sales to be a chess game well-thought, strategically planned and played carefully. One needs to know the rules of the game and the ethics. It is not only a matter of how well you know the game or play it but also a matter of human psychology, soul, character (which includes the elements of patience), fear, insights, instincts and correct observation without being hasty or careless which will help you prevail. It is a matter of how we behave when we are under pressure, when we are surprised and when we realise that we are not going to win. Can we control our nerves? Can we take it easy? Can we look for a different plan and adapt quickly when things go wrong? This is an art and it is more important than the knowledge. It comes with experience. The more you play, the more you are in control. The Art of Sales is based on exactly the same thinking. Play safely.

Their quest takes them across various nations, confronting perils greater than ever before.

But this adventure comes with a heavy price. The team faces heart-wrenching losses, leading them to question their roles as mere pawns in a larger game. And just when they think they’ve seen it all, an even more personal and enigmatic challenge awaits.

The Aulverse

One Hell of a Paradise…

Ahh, the Aulverse, a world of wonder and anarchy, of entitlement and squalor; two sides to a very specific coin – the coin of this hellish paradise. Heads, and you might find yourself amongst the royals of the Kingdom of Bovidae; with their fancy horns and proper mannerisms, all groomed beyond perfection with silver spoons crammed so far inside their mouths it’s a wonder they can even breathe. Tails though, and you might find yourself in the slums of the Aphid Tunnels, surrounded by equally as oppressed insectoids, all born into slavery with no hope for freedom. Some have been known to find graces in their ill fate, just as others have gambled away their luck, life in the Aulverse however, just as any life, is what you make of it, so why not turn your back on the chain gang and the ivory towers? Why not venture out into No Man’s Land and peruse the diabolical Grisly Woods – really get that blood pumping? Who knows? You might even get to the bottom of the mysteries of this place, figure out why it is that one even finds themselves here, or how exactly, one might escape.
