To the Power of Ten
Until I was checking back in one of my old Asher notebooks earlier this week, I’d forgotten this incident. The Asher notebooks are where I record, night upon night, my telepathic discussions with Asher — the ones he prefers not…

Waiting for the Right Moment
Remember that bit in Minority Report when they’re trapped in the shopping mall, with law enforcers closing in fast, and Agatha keeps saying, “Wait…wait…wait…”? She’s a precog, so John Anderton trusts her, even though his instinct is to run. Then,…
The Problem with Words
Asher’s relationship with words has been unusual, to say the least. For the first six years of his life, he was a solitary and almost silent child. He avoided social contact and, he tells me, spent much of his time…
Magnetic Attraction! How Asher Pulled Me In.
What follows is a true story. I thought you might like to see in detail what a remarkable (and devious!) little kid Asher was. Imagine a classroom in a primary school in the south of England, in the closing years…
Do I Really Sound Like That?
‘Voice Confrontation’ is a thing, apparently. It’s the psychological term for that cringing feeling some of us experience when we hear a recording of our own voices. I didn’t realise how badly I suffered from it until my book publisher…

The Day we made Paper Aeroplanes
It was way back in the 1980s. The National Curriculum (government imposed) was in full swing and they’d started to send out OFSTED inspectors to check that we teachers were dumbing the kids down to a suitable degree — teaching…
A Book Signing: Crazy or What?
When an event organiser offered me a book signing, I’d have been crazy to refuse, wouldn’t I? She told me she had a table available and would promote it on Facebook and in her shop. I’ve done several book sales…
When My Two Worlds Collide
I’ve kind of become used to my life as Jes — writing esoteric articles, chatting in person and online with like-minded souls, having telepathic conversations with Asher about other dimensions, and promoting the book I wrote about this ‘secret life’…
