Book Details
Hippie Chick is about a rebellious teenager who finds her mother dead in the bathroom. Living alone with a difficult father, her older sister sends her a one-way plane ticket to leave New Jersey. Landing in San Francisco, she is thrust into a lifestyle way beyond what she is ready for, and that challenges all previous notions of how one behaves. It is 1963, and we are brought along as she becomes immersed in the unfolding of the Sixties during the earliest days of sexual freedom, psychedelic drugs, the jazz scene and rock n’ roll.
Hippie Chick is a deeply personal story of how one young woman manages to survive and even to thrive in the face of the whirlwind of experiences coming at her. It is filled with a rich tapestry of moments that run the gamut from the sublime to the ridiculous, and everything in between. “To have lived all of this with such relish, loved and lost so many times, and emerged as someone centered in a career, happily married, with a grown daughter who loves her: that is something to be proud of and amazed by.”

Involution: Mavericks and Inspiration
Two companions, Reason and Soul, embark upon a light-hearted journey through creation's evolution, and its legacy; memory. The recovery of Memory is traced through the startling intuitions of scientific genius; from pre-Socratic Greece, through the succeeding epochs of Western thought, until the dissolution of Modernism, where mind and matter re-approach their recovered essential unity.
Adding involution to evolution is adding yeast to flour: it bakes a lighter loaf. Saints and Scientists break the same bread.
What is revealed is a science beyond, one that honours all its prophets, restoring man to his origins, his deepest self.
