Dear Friends, Last year I self-published a novel, The Unseen. It’s selling surprisingly well, and the reviews have been wonderful. The story taps into my owl research—how the ancient mythology of owls is playing out, present day, in real-life events. Readers have been asking for an audiobook, and I’m working with a talented actor whose voice beautifully captures the mystery and subtlety of the story.  I’m hosting a Kickstarter campaign to help pay for the audiobook. It went live last night.   Here’s the LINK   The site includes a short video, a list of don ..read more

the novel began as a comic book Lots of people have been asking if there will be an audiobook of The Unseen. I tell ‘em yes, I’m working on it, but good grief has it been slow going. I read two other audiobooks, and after each one, I declared to myself, “Never again!”  Well, I’m at the point now where I have to trust that declaration. I am abandoning my role as narrator for my own book. I plan on hiring a voice actor to read it for me. I know people want me to read it myself, but I’m crying uncle. I’m poorly suited to read text out loud. I need to do so many re-takes, to the poin ..read more

   The excerpt begins at 55:21 Sharon Hewitt Rawlette was interviewed by Kelly Chase about synchronicities. I was so moved by the clarity and insight that I transcribed a big section of their conversation. Both Sharon and Kelly understand the power of this mystery, and I felt a strong pull to share it here. This interview was posted on October 12, 2023 on Kelly’s podcast, THE UFO RABBIT HOLE PODCAST. ________________________________________ Sharon Hewitt Rawlette: If you view the universe as another mind, not necessarily wholly separate from you, but somehow t ..read more

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   __________________________________________ And below is another audio excerpt posted back in Jun ..read more

  I've recorded a 20-minute audio excerpt from my new novel, THE UNSEEN.  This 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.  Please note, I do get a little "whispery" in how I deliver the text. This is something I need to watch out for, and it will not be part of the upcoming audiobook. And—I'll be doing a few more audio chapter samples to help promote this book!   For a direct audio download, click HERE   _____________ ..read more

Mike Clelland and Sharon talk about the novel The Unseen.  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 ..read more

old comic books and trashy paperbacks as inspiration I wrote a novel! The book is now available, and the title is The Unseen.   Amazon link HERE   I’ll create an audiobook and read the thing myself, and this’ll happen soon. I plan on doing a set of youtube videos to promote the book, the story of writing it is as interesting as the book itself. The thing is, this book evolved in a tumbling cloud of synchronistic magic. I’m cautious to just blurt it out like that, but I don’t know any other way to say it.  In the curious little community of paranormal res ..read more
