The plants wanted me to write this book. It is becoming recognised that plants are so much more than green living structures that provide oxygen, food and chemicals for future medicines. They are beings of power with a history of their own, with folklore and stories to tell. They communicate with one another and with […]

Like most people, my creative journey began as a child. Drawing, painting, and playing on a mini keyboard, I would follow my creative bliss. But when I entered my pre-teens, my creative impulses got snuffed out by a belief that what I was creating was stupid, so I stopped all forms of creative expression. Several […]

“Your inner vibration is as intimate and personal to you as your breath. You could say this vibration is you, through which you are connected to a universe as diverse and universal as the gases you breathe and the space beyond them.  Through this breath you express the story of that universe.” So says Anna […]

ZenZone’s journey towards the realms of spirituality was not an overnight event. A fiercely atheist upbringing led to an ironically dogmatic view of traditional spiritualism, which was cemented by voluntarily attending a Catholic high school. However, in stark contrast to this, from a relatively young age music was very much his religion. A keen guitarist, […]

Prior to music becoming the love of my life, I was always passionate about art, doodling with cartoons and creating amusing characters and comedic stories. Then, when I was ten, myself and a few friends decided to form a street band, and I was so desperate to get started that my parents bought me the […]

A young woman wrote a novel that was accepted by a book publisher. Then she heard no more from them, her enquiries ignored. By chance, one day she then found her own work on sale in a shop under another author’s name – so she took the company to court. That case took two years, […]
