Hi Jim. As far as the Book Award Contests go, I have my reservations. But am very happy with their response to my request for a review of "Ifflepinn Island." The review came back three weeks before I expected it. And although they seem to have a large body of reviewers, I think they are also training up fledgling reviewers, as the review missed out on or two obvious points regarding the essence of the story. However, as soon as I suggested better phrasing, to my astonishment, they immediately contacted the reviewer and got her insert the changes. That is unprecedented service! I was also astonished by the speed of their responses. So, all in all, I think it is a great resource.

That force which is governing the universe pushes me to spill out what it wishes me to write. I can take no credit for that.

Having experienced an unexpected awakening by the advent of Cosmic Consciousness at the age of twenty-four, I spent the rest of my life consolidating the knowledge I was given, studying every kind of spiritual path available among dervishes, yogis, Tibetans, Hindus, Sikhs, Zen masters and so forth. Over half a century I have been teaching workshops in spiritual development without cultish trappings, and the questions of sincere students have resulted in these in-depth inspirational writings, which explain mystical subjects that most books and teachers gloss over for lack of experience.

And now, for something completely different, I am working on a quirky 110-year-old American children's classic, updating its old-fashioned style in order to entertain children in Britain today. It's a chapter book about the adventures of the animals of the wood and meadow, which first charmed me when I was six years old. It is suitable for ages 5-10.
