I Have Been Spell Bound!
Chaweon Koo was kind enough to send me a copy of her new book Spell Bound. I read it cover to cover over the last 22 hours and I am happy to report it earns a place on my “Awesome, must keep forever” shelf. Let’s start with the obvious thing that everyone is already saying: […]
Continue readingThrowing The Spirits Down the Stairs…
I had the great pleasure this week to spend three hours with an old friend talking about my new book, Consorting With Spirits.
