The Feather and the Stone

The Feather and the Stone is an extraordinary novel that transcends many boundaries. On one level it is about a teenager growing up in the Seventies and trying to find his identity in terms of both relationships and living with his own uncertainties and insecurities. But at a deeper level the novel also explores the very real worlds of the inner psyche that can be accessed through deep meditative practice and the implications for those wanting to explore these inner realms. When 'reality' and the 'supernatural' worlds collide, extraordinary things start to happen, and the reader is then drawn inexorably into a mysterious twilight world where nothing is certain anymore and dark secrets wait to be uncovered. A riveting rollercoaster of a read that shocks, entertains and enlightens in equal measure.

Praise for The Feather and the Stone

"Being set in the 1970's the novel really resonated with me. The beautifully crafted transition of a rebellious, 'living in the moment' teenager, to a spiritually aware and positive human being makes for an absorbing and uplifting read. Each layer of awareness that the protagonist goes through and experiences is both fascinating and thought provoking. I enjoyed every step of this journey of discovery as the hero develops his innate abilities and becomes aware of other realities. And at the core of the story is a good old-fashioned tale of the battle between good and evil. A riveting read in every way." - Alan Hooper

"The Feather and the Stone is more than just an exciting novel as it works on many different levels and takes the reader into multi-dimensional realms of consciousness through its in-depth exploration of the inner worlds of the human psyche. The story of a confused teenager overcoming his fears and transitioning into an enlightened and awakened being is both heart-warming and uplifting. A deep reminder that our lives can, and should be, a spiritual journey." - Andrew King
