About the Author

I am Tom. I am a part-time artist and full-time contactee.

I was born in London, and lived in New York City for seven years, but I currently reside in Christies Beach, Adelaide, with my Australian partner, Samantha. I studied at Oxford and New York Universities, looking into Classical literature and philosophy.

I have been chosen for experiences of an ufological-theological kind since roughly the year 2000, peaking in 2005, and continuing to this day. This book is an attempt to make sense of those experiences. It has been, to switch into alien language, a challenge.

Artists that I identify with include Giotto and William Blake. While I definitely cannot rival them, I do attempt a new insight into perspective, and a synthetic dialogue of word and art. I see myself as working in a tradition of naive, or outsider practice.

This is my first book. I invite you into a world of close encounters where the strange is normal and the normal is strange.

Watch the skies, people!
