with Lionel Friedberg

His career exposed him to the extraordinary wonders of our planet and brought him into close contact with many unforgettable personalities, from maverick scientists to politicians, entertainers and people who survived near-death experiences. Among these was an African shaman who accurately told Lionel how his life would unfold. Lionel's observations have taught him that life is far more complex and infinitely stranger than we can imagine.

with Richard Rokeby
It is the winter of 1923 and in the Warwickshire, England, countryside there is great excitement about a series of ghostly sightings, seen by hundreds of people. Everyone is talking about it and the local papers are speculating about these “Ghosts." But were they ghosts? Described as bright, multi-colored lights, with the power to illuminate buildings and to fly at height before disappearing at fantastic speeds, were they not in fact Unidentified Flying Objects? Richard Rokeby, a serving British police detective, is the first to look at this little-known case in depth.
