About
Dominic is all set to turn the world of Paranormal Thrillers on its head – his insightful and often moving stories are quite literally his life’s work. Written and added to over the course of many years they are now ready for public consumption.
Dominic has led a very colourful life and this is reflected in his prose.
Dominic was born in 1956 the 4th child of Michael & Geraldine both professional artists. He was educated Redland, Bristol.
Joining the Royal Navy at 16 he went on to a further career in sonar anti-submarine warfare. Dominic has an enduring love of the sea and many of the mysteries that surround the oceans are reflected in his tales.
Following his Naval Service he retrained as a carpenter joiner subsequently found employment with the Brsitol Old Vic Theatre Royal and after 5 years of scene building he decided to set up his own company manufacturing film & photographic room sets.
After working for some years abroad with well known leisure company creating artificial rock and permanent scenery he then decided in his spare time to begin writing and has completed 4 novels to date.
He currently owns and runs 2 very successful businesses. A recent change of direction means that he is now able to spend more time at his desk not only writing new books but also revisiting and reworking manuscripts previously written and discarded.
Dominic’s inspiration for writing came from the need to build characters and form the story form a jigsaw of ideas and an interest in the spirit and supernatural world. His knowledge of life comes from his experinces, including commanding the helm of warships, flying light aircraft and being part of the mendips cave rescue team. All of this brings with it a vast wealth of knowledge and experience of the human condition.
When asked what drives him to write Dominic said “I believe in legacy writing and a moment of creativity was born out of a need to leave something behind, life is ripples of time and how what happened in the past affects what happens today, it’s entirely a sliding doors effect and that fascinates me”.

Description
<p>“<em>We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.”(</em>Teilhard de Chardin<em>)</em></p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;"><em>Involution-An Odyssey Reconciling Science to God </em> is as layered as a French cassoulet, as diverting, satisfying and as rich. Each reader will spoon this book differently. On the surface it seems to be a simple and light-hearted poetic journey through the history of Western thought, dominantly scientific, but enriched with painting and music. Beneath that surface is the sauce of a new evolutionary idea, involution; the informing of all matter by consciousness, encoded and communicating throughout the natural world. A book about the cathedral of consciousness could have used any language to paint it, but science is perhaps most in need of new vision, and its chronology is already familiar.</span></p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;">The author offers a bold alternative vision of both science and creation: she suggests that science has been incrementally the recovery of memory, the memory of evolution/involution</span><em style="line-height:1.6em;">.</em></p><p>“<em> Involution proposes that humans carry within them the history of the universe, which is (re)discovered by the individual genius when the time is ripe. All is stored within our DNA and awaits revelation. Such piecemeal revelations set our finite lives in an eternal chain of co-creation and these new leaps of discovery are compared to mystical experience</em>” (From a reviewer)</p><p>Each unique contributor served the collective and universal return to holism and unity. Thus the geniuses of the scientific journey, like the spiritual visionaries alongside, have threaded the rosary of science with the beads of inspiration, and through them returned Man to his spiritual nature and origin.</p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;">The separation between experience and the rational intellect of science has, by modelling memory as theory, separated its understanding from the consciousness of all, and perceives mind and matter as separate, God and Man as distinct. This work is a dance towards their re-unification: Saints and scientists break the same bread.</span></p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;">All of time and all the disciplines of science are needed for the evidence. Through swift (and sometimes sparring) Cantos of dialogue between Reason and Soul, Philippa Rees takes the reader on a monumental journey through the history of everything – with the evolution of man as one side of the coin and involution the other. The poetic narrative is augmented by learned and extensive footnotes offering background knowledge which in themselves are fascinating. In effect there are two books, offering a right and left brain approach. The twin spirals of a DNA shaped book intertwine external and internal and find, between them, one journey, Man’s recovery of Himself., and (hopefully) the Creation’s recovery of a nobler Man.</span></p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;">From the same review “</span><em style="line-height:1.6em;">The reader who finishes the book will not be the same as the one who began it. New ideas will expand the mind but more profoundly, the deep, moving power of the verse will affect the heart.</em></p><p><em>(Marianne Rankin: Director of Communications, Alister Hardy Trust)</em></p><p> </p>
