About the author
Richard Craze
143 books11 followersBefore being a publisher Richard was a full time writer with over 60 books published on a wide range of subjects including business, astrology, alternative medicine, Chinese culture, sex and humour (not all in any one book though). Before being a writer - although that was what he always wanted to do - he did many jobs including being a casino general manger, business consultant, cave guide and stress management consultant (again never all at one time).
His first book for his own publishing company – The Voice of Tobacco - came out in September 2003. It is Richard's own journal of giving up smoking.
He wrote Out Of Your Townie Mind which was published in May 2004 and it guides the townie through their dream of escaping to the countryside.

One of the weirder books I own, I admit it.
The first half, a dictionary of cross-cultural symbolism, is actually a great resource for writers. The second half, on dreaming, gets a little too New Age-y for my tastes. Even as someone who practices dream recall and lucid dreaming, I found little of value in those chapters.
