There Is A Reality Creation Battle Going On
We live in a co-created reality and as a result, what you think and what emotion and imagination you put behind that thought, creates your reality and co-creates the reality we live in. I’m not going to defend that statement here as I have discussed it at length in many other blog posts and books. What is important is that there is a big battle going on and it is messing with your head trying to get you to cooperate and form a particular reality. As a result of the internet and social media, it is a huge battle because it is easier to influence now than ever before. We used to live in a controlled world. We consumed our information from a few sources and those sources were controlled.

Nope. Content doesn’t much matter it seems. If you want to sell books here are the three most important things by a mile… 1. Cover. The cover is what will make your book stand out from the crowd. A good book cover is worth its weight in gold. 2. Title. Yep – title is important so think it through, experiment with it and include lots of juicy key words. 3. Description. How you set up the book is important too – write a compelling description and fill it full of keywords as well. Consider using a list of contents and/or endorsements. So what does this mean? It means people buy books based on cover, title and description… Once they have purchased the book, content is more important but to get

I finished the second song in Garageband. It’s an old tune that I wrote in around 1979 called She’s Out There. I have got a bit better with Garageband now but am still learning how to use it properly. Anyway, here it is.

I just issued a new book on Kindle and shortly to be a paperback too. It is called The Czech Republic – The Most Haunted Country in the World? It’s definitely a good choice for a Halloween read… Here are a few abridged stories from it…. The Devil’s Bible A few years ago, I had the opportunity to see this strange document first hand, as it was on display outside of Brno. In fact, what I saw was a copy of the original. Nonetheless, the effect was chilling. The Devil’s Bible or Codex Gigas is 36inches tall by 20 inches wide and about 9 inches thick. It contains a set of Christian texts including the Bible. It is bound in leather with metal trim and weighs over 165 pounds. It

Recently, I bought a new guitar. Then, I bought a way to record it on my iMAC and then finally, I bought a microphone…. I am now engaged in a project to record a bunch of songs I wrote and often performed back in the 1970’s and early 80’s along with a couple of newer songs. Not sure what people will make of my indulgence but I am having fun! One thing I discovered is that my voice is no longer very powerful and I no longer can hit the notes so well….. However, here is the first track – I may re-record the verse vocals at some point but for now, I’m sort of OK with this. It’s called Waitin’ For You and I wrote it in a room
Read More »The Ghosts of The Czech Republic
My new book – The Czech Republic – The Most Haunted Country in the World – was released yesterday in Kindle format. There was a slight snafu and I had to remove the photos unfortunately but it is now out. The paperback version is in progress and it WILL include my photos….. An audiobook version is planned though it might be me doing the reading as there are too many Czech words and locations in the book for someone unfamiliar with the language to pronounce…. (and listening to GPS instructions from an English voice mispronouncing everything has put me off not getting it right for life…) The book is a mixture of myths, tales, legends, ghost stories, haunted locations and scary places. It should make for a good Halloween read

Probably in my opinion…. Having lived here 10-years, it definitely has an undercurrent of myth, legend, and the strange. So it should be no surprise that on October 1st, my new book will be out in an attempt to try to prove it! Take a look. You can even pre-order it in Kindle format!

Back in the 70’s and early 80’s, I was still playing guitar with various bands. I don’t know why I stopped really as it was tremendous fun. I was also writing a lot of songs and in one instance was asked to write songs for amateur dramatics version of a play. Anyway, recently I bought a new guitar and thought I’d play around with garageband. She’s out there is a song I wrote in 1979 would you believe…. Here is the song …..
