Having been in education for over 20 years, before finally seeing the light and leaving, I spent a good deal of my time writing academically. However, I also always had a real interest, a drive, to write just for me.
After learning that there were other subjects apart from History and Philosophy which could take and hold my interest, I began to express that more fully.
Always interested in poetry, I enjoyed the sonnet form most of all. Its strictures made me think harder.
I am now smitten with discovering intuition in all its forms and learning more about it. This has led me to write my own book on dowsing as well as having articles about it and allied subjects in various specialist magazines.
Additionally, I write web pages on subjects like dowsing, space clearing, ghosts, psychic powers and aliens. I guess you could say that I am spreading my wings a lot more.
Throughout all this, I have always loved books. At one time I had a library of over 5,000. The problem for me was which one(s) to read for myself - usually two or more at the same time; a habit from when I was first allowed to take books from a library.
You can still see me slacken my pace nearing a bookshop, no matter what size. I still find that weaving my way through piles of books gives me that old tingle of happiness and the sense that, this next pile, this next shelf, might be the one where the treasure I've been searching for is hiding.
If ony I knew what that treasure was! Still, I love looking or it! Books on magic, on early Greek history, on herbs and on space flight all rub shoulders with science fiction and poetry and novels.... What a blissful jumble!
I never thought that one day i would become an American citizen, own land in the West adn jointly run a business based solely on intuition! Add to that, the four websites my wife and I maintain and you have one contented human being.
Feel free to see some of what stimulates me at our websites: www.professional-house-clearing.com, www.real-psychic-powers.com, www.all-about-dowsing.com, and www.alieninfluence.com.

My inspiration ...
Not one thing. Not even sure where it comes from...but, at the risk of sounding crass, life in general.
Have you ever seen someone read a newspaper article and lose their temper? They gesticulate. They raise their voice. They show their emotions in the most obvious way. In other words, something about the article triggered a reaction in them. Their emotions were brought to the surface by what they read. There was no control, no self-discipline involved. They were at the mercy of their emotions. Being at the mercy of something means that you are not free to ignore it. And that, essentially, is what emotional freedom is all about. It is not being free from emotions. Far from it! It is, instead...
