about me
A dreamer ... in more languages than one, and a keen traveller. Presently I spend most of my time writing, but earn my keep with transpersonal therapy, visual arts and creative social projects.
I reciprocate readings of all genres, since all genres interest me.
Writing 'Course of Mirrors' was an alchemical process. A pattern is acted out and transcended. The story is woven with multiple strands and contains surprising gems applicable to life. I could be the next Coelho but for my irrational aversion to templates.
I'm hopeless at selling, but deliver if someone believes in my work. So that special agent out there, please get in touch: ashenv@aol.com
Course of Mirrors is complete, although not all is online.
A sequel, called 'The Shapers,' loops into the future - a Science of the Heart & Science Fiction.
Big thanks to Bradley Wind who transformed my image into a more mysterious title for Course of Mirrors.
