FLIGHT OF A LIFETIME MIRACLES DO HAPPEN
After university Philip got his dream job: working with
 horses. All was going well for him until December 1994
 when his life was to change forever. Crossing the road on
 the way to work, a car smashed into his legs causing him
 to fall on the bonnet and dislocate his shoulder. As the car
 braked he bounced off it, cracking his head against the
side of a bus causing a massive head injury and his heart
 to stop beating… he died… for a few seconds.
 Fortunately death wasn’t terminal and since being hit by
 that car and his subsequent unexpected recovery he has
 gone through a period of great change and has learned
 many things; having experiences he did not understand
 he also saw things mankind maybe should not see. He
 started writing these things down.
 What started as an autobiography about life, death and an
 unexpected resurrection has evolved into a truly
 inspirational book that will make the reader laugh and cry,
 often at the same time. Yet, in spite of its theme, it is not a
 miserable book – he wrote about his death and has even
at times managed the not straightforward task of making
 the whole thing funny! AVAILABLE ON AMAZON

The Black Ink Colouring Bookook is the art-companion companion to the novel The Black Inked Pearl. It is also a colouring book with images for YOU to colour in using YOUR imagination. On some pages it builds on the traditional form of colouring - inside firm lines - on others it calls, more daringly, on the modern technology of blurred and rubbed colouring, And there is more - think COLOUR SECRETS: What are these colours that we see and try to copy? How are they made? How did they start and what (if anything) do they mean? Are colours perhaps only a trick of the light or of the way our eyes see, not really of any independent existence?
