I can hardly wait for the next instalment! I read this text over and over again and was enriched by each reading." - Lisa Gross, BSN (Professional Nurse)
"Mind Surfing takes the reader on a journey through different levels of consciousness. The adrenaline rush I experienced throughout my reading of Mind Surfing kept me riveted to the book until the end. This book is the first of a long series of definite successes for Mr. Waugh." - Étienne Lizotte, DESS, M.Ps. (Psychologist)
"Surfing is right! Just finished reading Gil's first book. The mind that is being surfed is both Karen's and your own. Although Karen (Gil) describes the worlds she is travelling through, you are left up to your own interpretation as to what they look like, because it's all in your head (mind). An insightful bit about seeing yourself as two different people as well I think.. if I understood correctly. The story takes you from normalcy to fantasy and back again. A good read!" - Alexander Lang (Senior Security Management Consultant)

Mind Surfing follows policewoman Karen on a mysterious, and often times surrealistic, adventure that begins when she seemingly regains consciousness after being violently attacked. It's a real page-turner, although it's the book's deeper message, and underlying philosophy, that impresses the most. Five Stars!
