Hedgerider: Witches and the Underworld is a re-interpretation of (Hedge-)Witchery. Drawing from an extensive historical, folkloric and mythological body it re-attributes and re-defines Witchery as a Heathen Cult centred around the journey to the Underworld and contact with the Unseen. With the insights into Cosmology, Philosophy and Practice this book provides a working body of Heathen Witch-lore, designed to transform the essence of humanity in something greater through contact with our Fetch and the Underworld itself.

Welcome to a Paradelle Universe; where rigid rules are transcended and creative imagination discovers ever surprising potentialities. A universe where formalized and uncompromising poetic structures succumb to a radicalized deconstruction of their basic elements; then reconstructed through an almost word by word re-ordering and reinvention of the poems original meaning, images and intent. The Paradelle is a form of poetry whose time is now: a time of stagnating social theories, fossilized religious traditions, and a political system paralyzed by its own impossibilities. A time of constant unrelenting change and adaptation, of innovative ideas reconfiguring outdated concepts and beliefs; of individual and collective human consciousness expanding beyond existing borders and horizons. A Paradelle reflects this evolving planetary process in the fundamental reinvention of itself ... never exactly certain of where its going or how it will get there; yet always managing to arrive at the coherent conclusion of its revealed destination. Even then the Paradelle refuses to become a static statement of all that has been said and done. The poem learns from each rewriting how to speak for itself. All that a Paradelle asks for is a fair hearing. To be given a voice ... for the blessing of living breath.

Just weeks after four students cross the threshold of the derelict Fischer House, one of them has committed suicide and the other three are descending into madness. Nick Mason's sister is one of them. To save her, Nick must join ranks with Paul Seaton—the only person to have visited the house and survive. But Paul is a troubled man, haunted by otherworldly visions that even now threaten his sanity. Desperate, Nick forces Paul to go back into the past, to the secret journal of beautiful photographer Pandora Gibson-Hoare and a debauched gathering in the 1920s, and to the dark legacy of Klaus Fischer—master of the unspeakable crime and demonic proceedings that have haunted the mansion for decades. Because now, the Fischer House is beckoning, and some old friends have gathered to welcome Paul back. . . .

Every morning James Christie puts on a blue rugby shirt and jeans. His wardrobe is full of identical outfits. Every day he eats the same meal and drinks from the same mug. These are not ingrained habits, but survival strategies. For James, coping with new experiences feels like smashing his head through a plate glass window. The only relief comes from belting the heavy bag at the boxing club or watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He's an autistic man lost in a neuro-typical world. Differently wired. Alien. Despite a high IQ, it seems he'll spend the next 20 years cleaning toilets. But then his life takes an amazing turn - from a Glasgow tenement to a rendezvous with a Hollywood star on Sunset Boulevard. On that road trip across America, the man who feels he lacks a soul will find it. Eight time zones and 5,000 miles away, he has a date with the actress who played Drusilla, the kooky vampire who changed his life when he saw her in a Buffy episode. Drusilla has no soul either. And maybe that's the attraction. But Drusilla is fictional. The lady he'll see on Sunset is Juliet Landau. She's real, and that's a very different proposition...
