Any author invariably appreciates intelligent reviews of their work, and in that regard, I'm certainly no different. My most recent book, The Three Dangerous Magi (published in December of 2010) has been selling relatively well, especially for a somewhat pricey 714 page book (in economically depressed times, to boot). Reviews of the book thus far, whether from Amazon.co.uk (the book has sold best in the U.K.), or from Amazon.com, have been mostly positive. As for bloggers, there have been some intelligent reviews, such as from author Walter Masson, from 'Dark Star adept' Andy Lloyd, and from a blogger who calls herself a 'bad witch' (great name, I must say). The book has also received positive mention from Michael Staley, (heir apparent of the brilliant Kenneth Grant, considered by some to be Crowley's natural heir) who operates Starfire Publishing. 

I am at present hard at work writing, as well as teaching my programs in transformational work. But my life is never far from the unexpected, perhaps the occupational hazard of one who commits their life to the exploration of the unknown, as it pertains to inner awakening. Recently I was privy to a rare Aleister Crowley watercolor painting, and am in the process of writing about this 'discovery'. The painting has been in the possession of one John Robert Colombo, who is probably one of Canada's best kept literary secrets. My article on this painting, and its fascinating provenance, will be posted within a few days on my website, under the section called 'Lore of the Magi'.
