hidden experience audio

I've been recording myself reading THE UNSEEN for an audiobook, and I want to share what I can along the way. This is a 16-minute excerpt where I read the prologue, and this sets up the rest of the story. It's been a fun challenge to act out the roles and play up the drama. The book has been selling well, and the reviews have been wonderful. As a first-time novelist, I was SO worried that nobody would get the story I was trying to tell.  Get the book HERE.  

Here is a 20-minute audio excerpt from my new novel, THE UNSEEN. This reading is a test run for the upcoming audiobook. I read the end of chapter six, and all of chapter seven. I snipped out a few sentences because these might spoil things for the eventual reader. Find out more HERE. 

Sharon and I talk about my novel. This is a conversation exploring the genesis and creative process of paranormal fiction, and the source of inspiration. Sharon wrote this: Here’s a conversation I did with Mike Clelland about his new novel, The Unseen, which just came out last week. If you are familiar with Mike’s work on synchronicities, owls, and UFOs, you won’t want to miss this new, beautifully compelling, artistic take on those phenomena. It’s a paranormal thriller that’s so much more… Link to the youtube video of the same conversation HERE.

I wrote a novel! Here's some music the was vital to the creative process! The novel is THE UNSEEN.

This is an excerpt from my recently published audiobook of The Messenger. It was narrated by Michael Hacker. The foreword was written and read by Richard Dolan. And the introduction and conclusion were read by me.   This is Chapter Nine, titled Back to Back Reports, and this might be my favorite chapters of this big book.   I am happy to offer up this sample, so you can get an insight into the tenor of the book. I will be posting more samples as a way to promote this audiobook, and these will be easy to find here on my blog.     one-click link HERE     The audiobook can be purchased on audible.com, the iTunes store and amazon. If you like the book, please leave a review on Amazon. In this new era of publishing, authors are dependent on these reviews.   I need to thank Michael Hacker for his wonderful narration. I sought him out because he has read a long list of audiobooks by John Keel and Brad Steiger, two fo my heroes in this fascinating corner of publishing.    This book, The Messengers was a monumental project for me, and it consumed years of my life. It was a blurry time of obsession and dedication, and it was also a time of magic. The book was written in a synchronistic cloud, and that's not an exaggeration. It feels like something outside myself was at play in the writing process.   I have two other companion books, and these make up a sort of trilogy. I am enormously proud of The Messenger series, and each is available in print, in kindle, and as audiobooks.

The audiobook for The Messengers is due out very soon. Richard Dolan wrote and read the foreword, and I am sharing it here. 

Long time reader of the blog Red Pill Junkie read his own essay, and he has a much better voice than I do! This is his foreword to my newest book. Required listening! 

This is an audio reading from the recently published book, Hidden Experience.

This was the very first audio interview I did on this blog. The old link is not working, so I am updating it. LINKED HERE

Audio of Anya Briggs where she mentions Bryon North Dakota. This reference set off a flood of curious synchronicities all interlocked on a map. This 19 minute clip is meat to accompany a post from March of 2010. Link to post

This is a 14 minute clip of various interview with Mac Tonnies. His voice is strong and clear, and his ideas are just as valid now as they were a decade ago. These clips are introduced by Whitley Strieber.  More HERE.

Here is an sneak-peak of the audiobook of Stories from The Messengers. This is the Introduction.

Chapter 13 from an Audio-book project in the works.

I have been recording my voice for an audio book of Stories from The Messengers. The results have been good, and I am working hard to make it sound professional. This is a high quality 192 Kbits/sec file.

I have been recording my voice for an audio book. I am starting with the more recent book, Stories from The Messengers. It is slightly shorter and I hope to have it available before summer. It is slow going and its taking longer than I expected. The results have been good, and I am working hard to make it sound professional. This is a high quality 192 Kbits/sec file.

This is an audio reading of chapter seventeen in the book STORIES FROM THE MESSENGERS. 

This is from Trish and Rob MacGregor's audio book. It's an eight minute long audio excerpt from their book.  It is also posted along with the interview I did with them last week (the interview lined HERE).

This is the audio of a talk given by Harvard psychiatrist Dr. John Mack at the International Conference on Altered States of Consciousness in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was recorded October 25, 2002. The synopsis of the lecture reads: "UFO encounters, near death experiences, shamanic journeys, and spontaneous religious epiphanies all have the power to bring about a significant transformation of consciousness. By this is meant that the experiencers’ worldview, as internalized in the course of their upbringing and inculcation in this culture, is shattered. This, in turn, results in the potential opening of heart and spirit to a wider appreciation of reality and a (re)connection to realms of the sacred and divine. In this lecture I will discuss how this process occurs in specific cases, and its implications for social and cultural change."

A short conversation, in two parts, between two extraordinary thinkers, Terence McKenna and Kenneth Ring. The book The Omega Project was written by Ring, and in it he explores the relationship between the UFO phenomenon and the Near Death Experience. This video was created shot on location in Prague, Czechoslovakia during the International Transpersonal Conference in June 1992, known at Prague Gnosis. (link)
