Welcome to my website! Before I go on, I’m very, very pleased to announce the publication of my recent novel, Cold Inn: an era-spanning tale of mystery, time travel and romance set in the heart of the beautiful Pembrokeshire countryside. To buy it or to look inside, simply click on the appropriate box under the cover image below:
This year (2025) I’m continuing my ongoing research exploring olfaction as a part of religious, spiritual and extraordinary human experiencing. There has been surprisingly little research on the topic of what these experiences actually smell like so I’m delighted to be treading a still relatively untrodden and unexplored field. I’m also exploring the relatively unexplored topic of UFOs as spiritual experiences – not necessarily positive ones – and I intend that my ongoing research and related publications will reflect this. There will be more on my Blog page about this in due course so please stay tuned!
Meanwhile, I continue to examine other areas at the interface of the paranormal, religion, and spirituality and in this respect I was delighted to present a paper, ‘Which Farm is the Witch Farm? Testimony and the Uncanny at Heol Fanog’ as an ASSAP webinar on February 13th. I’m also speaking at the Christian Parapsychologist 50th Anniversary conference in June on the subject of Near-Death Experiences, examining what we have learned and have yet to learn regarding Near-Death Experiences half-a-century after the coining of the term ‘Near-Death Experience’ itself.
In December 2022, after seven years, I came to the end of my final term as trustee of the Alister Hardy Society. I had been a member of the AHS for a long time and much of my published research has drawn extensively from the archive of the Religious Experience Research Centre: an archive which is closely related to the Society and currently open to all of its members. But, as the saying goes, one door shuts as another opens and I was delighted to take up a trustee position on the Council of the Churches Fellowship for Psychical and Spiritual Studies at the CFPSS annual conference in October of 2023 (which unfortunately I missed due to a bout of shingles). I look forward to serving the Fellowship, with whom I already have a long and rich acquaintance, in the months and years ahead.
I continue to enjoy writing for the publications that I’ve been contributing to for a number of years and, once published, these pieces always find their way onto my Blog page where you can find my articles, review articles, reviews, texts of talks and more. There are details of all of my books – including links to Amazon – via the ‘Books’ tab and elsewhere and you can find a more ‘formal’ description of what I’ve been historically researching and writing about via the ‘About’ and ‘Archive’ pages. If you would like to contact me to share an experience, to find out more about my books, to buy a book directly from me, or for some other reason, please do so via the ‘Contact’ tab and I will get back to you as soon as possible: usually within twenty-four hours.
