Ghosts, Reality and Long-Leggety Beasties
My summer cold of course decided to move into to my larynx and set up shop resulting in the last few days feeling distinctly unwell. The antibiotics are now kicking in and I’m recovering nicely. Meanwhile, I launched a new ghost and paranormal website at My Haunted Life Too. Why I did so I don’t really know as there are more than enough such sites around already but actually, I did it because I enjoy the stories and because I could. I do hope that over time, it will blossom into a real presence on the paranormal side of the web. Meanwhile, I am hard at work on my last book for a little while. Another ghost story book actually but I will say no more until it is out.

If you needed a reminder of just how different people are take a look at any book on Amazon with a number of reviews – even Shakespeare’s sonnets. There you will find the entire gamut of people’s perceptions as reviews. The Last Observer, my paranormal novella, has quite a lot of reviews as well and I was just going through them on Amazon and Goodreads to see what people thought. There are 25 reviews on Amazon.com and it has an average of 4.4 out of five which I will happily take all day. The book has 17 5-star reviews, 4 four-star, 2 3-star and 2 one-star reviews and no two-star reviews as yet. But consider some of the comments…. We have this on the one hand – “This book was

Somewhere there is a place The dead must go Once here, but now residing Somewhere there Cut off and isolated from the living It used to be called Hades A shadow land full of shadow people And when the sun shines They shimmer like rising heat The dead are fast on their feet Fleet of foot and silent too A higher frequency of life Is that what death truly is? All around us they play Thoughts trapped in the ether And when the light is just right We may gain a glimpse or two A flickering shadow plays Radiating under Sun rays The faint echo of laughter Or a hint of foot steps on ice A face stares back in the mirror A voice speaking starkly From within incandescent static
Read More »A Summer Cold
The summer cold. What a contradiction of terms that is huh? I managed to avoid cold and flu through the winter but apparently I now have the summer cold caught from my daughter who caught it at school. I can barely swallow because there seems to be a mini version of Mount Everest in my throat right now complete with a bunch of annoying people determined to climb the bugger – or at least that is what it feels like. Yes Summer and cold are two words that simply do not belong together. Summer colds should be banned or made illegal. Sneezing, coughing and constantly blowing one’s nose is something that should only happen in the winter or on a particularly horrendous pollen-filled day in Springtime. However, I let the

Tomorrow sees the release of my new book – How To Create Your Own Reality in kindle and paperback formats. Pre-orders have been strong and the book is already ranking on bestseller lists on Amazon! Yes – I am creating my own reality and the book outlines how. I do think that readers of the book will certainly have food for thought along with some techniques to try out. I also believe that anyone who reads the book might just change their outlook on life and, if they do that, then they will change their reality because that change in outlook will have an impact. The content of the book is drawn from many blog articles written over the last several years that have been edited, added to and organized

Sometimes an idea will hit you and you think “I can’t do that!” Then you remember that unless you try to do something it isn’t going to happen at all and, since we create our own reality, let’s take a shot at creating something…. Well, such a thought passed through my noggin while cycling a trail in the Czech Mountains. Too many bumps? Maybe, but I thought why not start a ghost story website? Yes, there are a few around already but everyone has a story – a creepy story – so why not try to get them to submit those stories to a website and promote my own ghost books all at the same time? A couple of days later and Hey Presto! My Haunted Life Too was born.

Nationality. Some people get all teared up and emotional about their nationality. Others use it as a way to discriminate between people. Some even use it to hate and despise. Nationality is basically a dividing factor used to keep us from coming together like we should. As Europe supposedly comes together, nationalism is springing up all over the place from Yorkshire to parts of Belgium. Nationalism is ugly. It is basically a reaction of fear and hate. Nationality is about as silly as being in a gang. The sooner people understand that nationality is an accident of birth and purely arbitrary the better. Your nationality – those misplaced emotions about belonging to some gang – are being used by people who manipulate. They will cite history and other myth to

Over the last year or more, I have fiddled with multimedia in the form of book videos and even me reading a poem. I’m unsure as to whether multimedia adds much to be honest as the views for most of the videos I have made are quite low. Perhaps I am not much good at making video or maybe there is a trick to marketing them I am unaware of… Recently, someone suggested I should start podcasting! There are just too few hours in the day and writing takes up a lot of time… anyway, all of those videos are on my youtube channel – go check it out perhaps – it is here. Here is the first video I made.. And here is the latest…

Turn the page and let it go Always something else to know Digging deep into that psychosis Pain is just another emotion Hidden behind your neurosis I talk to myself you know Deep conversations everyday A sure sign of that madness That drives me deeper in I am full of strange characters A world is inside my head Which one am I these days? I am a crowded room I am a party in a smoky room The more I delve the more I see The clearer is my sense of me It’s complicated Thoughts assimilated Manifesting instead Reaching in to reach out Finding God is in me Divinity flows Where ever thought goes Energy directed With thoughtful intent

Imagine. Imagine if with a few words and an attitude you could manifest whatever you wanted in your life? What would you ask for? Think of that a different way. There you are polishing the silverware and suddenly, a genie appears. He grants you three wishes. What would they be? Now, let us complicate this scenario. Let’s imagine that rather than ask you for the three wishes, the genie reads your mind and delivers on your first three thoughts. How might that go? “Oh….. I want a big fast car, er, wait, no, I would like to be rich, stop, wait, maybe just happy…..” I would think that most folk would end up very disappointed with the result of their wishes and the genie might very well be extremely confused
