'Journey to Everywhere' has been revised for paperback in 2018. It is is a non-fictional account of the author's travels and meetings with some of the leading psychedelic thinkers of our time, like Terence and Dennis McKenna, Rupert Sheldrake, Ralph Abraham and other extraordinary characters. The book documents the evolution of cyber-consciousness via social networking from a uniquely South African viewpoint. It's a look-see into a world of psychedelics, an experiential romp with sacred madness through a desert of corporate zombification to an oasis beyond insanity. Join Mike's alter-ego, Schwann the cybershaman, at a night on Ibiza, the LSD Symposium in Basel, covering solar eclipses or hanging out with the animals in South Africa's Kruger National Park. You could read this journal backwards; it's a cyberpunk time machine covering two decades and the making of the world's first 'smart' movie, Cognition Factor. Extra chapters and an addendum with Dr. Jim Fadiman have been included. Intro by Dennis J. Mckenna - Author - 'Brotherhood of the Screaming Abyss'.

What turns citizens into refugees and then immigrants? In this powerful middle-grade debut, Sami and his family embark on a harrowing journey to save themselves from the Syrian civil war. Sami loves his life in Damascus, Syria. He hangs out with his best friend playing video games; he's trying out for the football team; he adores his family and gets annoyed by them in equal measure. But his comfortable life gets sidetracked abruptly after a bombing in a nearby shopping mall. Knowing that the violence will only get worse, Sami's parents decide they must flee their home for the safety of the UK. Boy, Everywhere chronicles their harrowing journey and struggle to settle in a new land. Forced to sell all their belongings and leave their friends and beloved grandmother behind, Sami and his family travel across the Middle East to Turkey, where they end up in a smuggler's den. From there, they cross the treacherous waters of the Mediterranean and manage to fly to England, only to be separated and detained in an immigration prison for the crime of seeking asylum. Yet the transition from refugee to immigrant in a new life will be the greatest challenge Sami has ever faced. Based on the experiences of real Syrian refugees, this thoughtful middle-grade novel is the rare book to delve deeply into this years-long crisis. Portions of the proceeds of this book will be used to benefit Syrian refugees in the UK and to set up a grant to support an unpublished refugee or immigrant writer in the US. Sami's story is one of survival, of family and friendship, of bravery and longing ... Sami could be any one of us.

As a young man living in rural Kansas in the 1940s, Charles Novak took a job with the federal government--not because he liked the work but because he heard it paid well. That job shaped his life in ways he could never have imagined. As a surveyor for the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, Charles was tasked with measuring the unmapped American landscape. Over the years this would take him from being eaten up by mosquitoes in Alaska, to eating steak and lobster on oil rigs in Louisiana. His career became even more adventurous when his family later hit the road with him, making their home in a caravan of trailers as the survey team traversed the nation. The measurements taken by Charles and the team eventually helped build today's GPS technology. But such a contribution was the furthest thing from the minds of Charles and his family as they experienced life on the road during a time of astounding change in American life. From segregated trains, to Cold War military bases, and back to Kansas, Charles's family found that home is more than a place on a map.
