About the author

My interest in philosophy and metaphysics was ignited at quite an early age by an intrinsic curiosity and desire to understand a world I wasn't always comfortable with, and as the years conspired to change my perception, I slowly began to accept it is perhaps a reality that none of us ultimately belong.

My first publication was: ‘The Missing Innocence,’ released by PS Avalon in 2009. It was written in response to the loss of someone close and inspired by a spiritual reflection of bereavement and the world I had grown up with as a child.

‘The Chronicles of Kismah,’ unexpectedly emerged from a period of self-analysis at the beginning of 2012. It originally began as a simple process of questions and answers during a quiet period in my life, yet without intention it unexpectedly evolved into a conversation with an unknown personality of my subconscious that discusses in detail the unusual reality beyond life.

I have often thought it is a lot to expect other people to follow and understand the mosaic pattern of my thoughts, but now and again when something emerges that I feel might be of value it becomes difficult not to share it. For those of you who choose to take the time I genuinely hope you will experience a little of the joy I have encountered in my endeavour to express them.
