Story Behind The Book

As a kid I had an active imagination for stories that felt fun and important to share. At college I studied television and film at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and then moved to Los Angeles in 1991. During that time the idea for The Little Universe came to me. Like many of us, I pondered the meaning of life and our place in the grand scheme of things. I struggled with concepts of both religion and science, trying to figure out where the two fields might share a common ground. Eventually came the idea of a science experiment with a universe that is separate to our own. Then the questions began - What if you could study a universe and search throughout it for planets with life? What might you find with an entire cosmos at your fingertips? The more I thought of it... the more ideas came. In little time the idea was conceived and The Little Universe (originally titled The Big Bang: Notes from Looking Within) was born. Two screenplays, one novel, and over a decade later, my first story was out there. The sequel, Jim's Life, also excites me. It's about a boy who can see the luminous energy fields of people, chakras and auras, and he can also heal them. This story deals with the same thought process - What is it all about and what clues exist for us to see everyday? In all these stories, one theme is recurring. How can this help me or someone else connect with the higher consciousness? So, thanks for reading. Please feel free to contact me anytime.
