Well people… after five proof copies, six different covers and four attempts to get it through the Amazon review process, Paradise For The Ungodly – the inner wilderness of silence is finally live. It’s been a long old journey for such a small book, but worth it.
It will be an inspirational companion, fitting unobtrusively into a coat or jacket pocket, or a handbag, for those who choose to delve into the pages.
Watch this space for my next breathtaking adventure!
I’m aware that I haven’t written what I would call a “proper” post for a few weeks now. The lull has been because I’ve been concentrating on my latest writing project. A surprising amount of water has flowed under the bridge since my last communication however, and I thought I would share with you what is happening. I’ve made quite a lot of technical changes to the manuscript; plus I’ve corrected the few errors that were found. I’ve just ordered my 5th proof copy, and since the first incarnation of my book I have changed some of the fonts, increased the font size, changed the cover half a dozen times, and… changed the title and sub-title. Yes, I have; I can’t believe I’ve done that, but I have.
Originally, the book was to be called, “The Road To Nowhere“, with the sub-title, “paradise for the ungodly.” Now it is called, “Paradise For The Ungodly”, with the sub-title, “the inner wilderness of silence”. I’m expecting the proof to arrive by the end of the week, so if all goes to plan, I will still be publishing before the end of August. The pics are of the image that I’ve decided to use for the final cover, and one of the rough covers I experimented with. Chat soon lovely people, bye for now!
I’m proud to announce that Eyesight To The Blind is now available as an e-book on Amazon.
“Say no to organised religion and religious dogma; have your own experience and find your own truth”.
Satori Publishing in association with Inspirational Storytellers presents…
Eyesight To The Blind launches; a journey from darkness into light. Here for the first time on my blog is the cover in all its glory. Also, to whet your appetite, I have posted the introduction that precedes Chapter One. I hope you find it of interest.
“I’m going to take you on a journey. It’s going to be a bit of a bumpy ride and quite painful at times, but it will be worth it. You will stumble and fall with me, but you will also laugh and soar too, as I let you into the beautifully dysfunctional world that is my life. I’m going to take your hand and lead you every step of the way, enabling you to experience every grimace, every moment of madness and every belly laugh, as I fumble my way from a place of complete unconsciousness and darkness to a place of Love. “How is he going to do that”? I can hear you screaming! Well, I’ll tell you.
I have written every story, every phase, every chapter of my life in accordance with the mind-set and understanding that I had at the time. I have refrained from using bad language, but I have written in a language that is “me”. After all, you can take the boy out of North London, but you can never take North London out of the boy. The idea is that you evolve and grow with me through mutual experience; reader and writer together, hand in hand. We won’t quite be skipping along golden sands together, but it will be a lot of fun; trust me.
You will meet many characters along the way, which brings me to quite an important bit. If you are one of these characters and I have mentioned you by name; you are either dead or I think you are a legend. If I have changed your name, you are either not dead, I don’t think you are a legend, or I do think you are a legend but I’ve written about something that might embarrass you.
Even though I started to awaken in 2001, life remained, by and large, a comedy of errors until Zen found me in 2016; you don’t find Zen, it finds you. Life is still a bit of a comedy show, but I now have more clarity and understanding than at any other stage. I will take you through the darkness, I will give you an insight into what life on the road is like for a medium; I will also give you a glimpse into the world of astral travelling. However, the main message I want to get across to the reader is that you do not have to be one of life’s victims. So, I suggest plenty of fluids and a big bag of popcorn; enjoy the ride!
