MARY HARRISON Mary has been an inspirational writer over the years. She loved writing this Japanese story about the many exciting adventures and challenges of CHIE. She especially enjoyed the detailed research on the Geishas and all things Japanese. Mary was proud of the "The Eye of the DARUMA". Mary started as a newspaper journalist in Bedford soon after her second son Peter Antony was born. Pete is now a school teacher and was her inspiration. Peter and Mary Harrison had four sons: Paul, Peter, Philip & Christopher and a daughter, Eve Louise. Mary was especially successful on radio and TV. For many years she broadcast in London at the LBC radio station. Mary was Paranormal Consultant on The Pete Murray Show. Her most notable TV broadcast was on lTV's "This Morning" when she asked viewers to phone in with their paranormal experiences. There were so many calls that the lTV phone network became jammed. Richard and Judy were dumbfounded by the reaction Mary caused on that special day, 31st October. Mary sadly passed away in 2002 and is deeply missed. Her husband Peter Lives in Hampstead and writes plays, films and books. He continually pays tribute to Mary in books, blogs and discussions. Mary was always Peter's inspiration from when they first met at College Entertainments, Archer St., London in February 1971. Mary came to work for Peter as his P.A. & College co-ordinator, neither realising that it was the start of a fantastic 30 year romantic partnership.

All of the stories are true accounts of real experiences from around the world. From the content it is easy to see that for most people their glimpse into the unknown has left them undoubtedly moved, puzzled and often frightened. Perhaps one of the strangest unexplained event comes from Ronald Pattinson: 'When I was a soldier I had a strange spinetingling experience which I have never been able to account for.....' The book includes haunting ghost stories from Scotland. In this section we touch upon phantom soldiers, ghostly lovers, mist-shrouded kilted apparitions, murderous ministers and even a disappearing bank in a time slip. We have kept away from previously published or documented stories which is why you will not read about Tam O'Shanter by Burns or the ghost from Shakespeare's Scottish play. We have also avoided fairies, imps, warlocks, besoms, monsters and the legions of legendary beings which undoubtedly make for an entertaining read but do little for the credibility of the true stories in our book.

This collection of literature attempts to compile many of the classic works that have stood the test of time and offer them at a reduced, affordable price, in an attractive volume so that everyone can enjoy them.

THIS POWERFUL BOOK TAKES A POSITIVE LOOK AT THE UNEXPLAINED The overwhelming evidence points to life after physical death and the suvival of the spirit independent of the material body. In the cases researched the people concerned have UNANIMOUSLY stated that they no longer fear death. BORDERLAND This fascinating chapter describes the experiences of people who, during out-of-body-release, found themselves in an idylic realm which they can only describe as 'Paradise'.

The Dragons of Zimzor First of a new adventure trilogy Zimzor is packed with challenge, danger and conflict as two unlikely young heroes overcome generations of hatred as enemies and unite their people and the amazing, powerful dragons to save the beleaguered people of the forest from certain destruction. Eli is chosen to be the newest apprentice dragon-keeper from the peaceful town of Zimley. Life seems perfect for Eli as he learns the many tasks required of him in the dragon colony. Before long, Eli finds himself training in the dragon nursery and attends the hatching of a very special baby dragon. Meanwhile, Kane lives a perilous life deep within the forests of Jolara, the land across the sea from Zimley. Kane's right to leadership is challenged and his small family driven away; deeper into the forest. As he leads his family toward safety, an unimaginable danger attacks the hunters behind him. Kane witnesses a scene that is nothing short of a myth come to life. If the beast is true, then could the legendary dragons also be true? Kane risks his life to find out and seek help to save his family and his people from certain destruction. With determination and bravery, Kane eventually meets Eli and explains his plight. Together the pair seeks out the dragon king to petition for the dragons to aid the Jolaran people. Woven throughout, Biblical truths point readers to the Creator God, the beauty of His creation and value of each individual. Readers will be challenged as characters face opportunities to choose between right and wrong, the truth and a lie, and the choice to stand up for what is right.

The original idea came to co-author Mary Harrison when she observed her youngest son, Leon, trying to pick flowers from a floral pattern on her bed cover. The infant's actions seemed so quirky and amusing that Mary was prompted to write a letter to the Woman's Own magazine which was subsequently published. Mary asked if other mothers had experiences similar 'odd' moments with their little ones. The word 'odd' was the keyword that triggered an amazing reaction and Mary, whose address had been published with her letter, was overwhelmed with letters from parents reporting accounts of reincarnation. From this, the idea for the book The Children That Time Forgot was born. Mary & Peter Harrison spent over a year thoroughly researching leads. The anecdotes and stories developed organically as they gathered new evidence and established facts. Amongst the thirty fascinating accounts they unearthed, one story features a young girl from the North of England. So young she had not travelled outside of England before and was too young to read yet she recounted, with chilling accuracy, visiting her Grandmother in Dundee on the fateful night in 1879 her train was swept away when the Tay Bridge collapsed. Cynics would of course be quick to question the validity of such a story but when the girl's family recollections were checked out, eye witness accounts of the family she described, events leading to it and records matched up. The book's primary aim is to present children's stories in a neutral, non-judgmental way and let the reader decide. All the stories are spontaneous and all contributors offered their stories voluntarily. The Children That Time Forgot was published in USA, Japan, France, Netherlands, UK & Ireland.

I was contacted initially to translate the papyrus, of which the owner wasn't sure if it was an authentic ancient papyrus. I have to admit, when I first looked at it, I wasn't sure either. I have retranslated many ancient documents over the past 10 years, including the Rosetta Stone, section 1 of the Papyrus of Ani, and many other ancient texts in ancient Hebrew (Proto Sinaitic), Aramaic (Syriac), Cuneiform, ancient written Greek and more. There are always surprises. This papyrus probably surprised me more than it should have, but there has been an assault on ancient texts written about ancient women, being intentionally translated inaccurately. So to see this papyrus, I was surprised this one slipped though the mistranslation mill. In the papyrus a queen is described as intelligent, beautiful and a fair ruler. She is described as being a professional, a merchant who produces food for her citizens. In many ways, including these, she is described in a way women today would like to be remembered, more than just looks. The papyrus says she was a visionary and a strong woman. This papyrus was found in a house that was being emptied after the owner passed away. It was found with a photo of who was likely the owner. The question is how did the original owner come to be in possession of such a beautifully written eulogy to an ancient Egyptian queen? There was no translation found with the papyrus. The question of its authenticity is overwhelming. Is it truly an ancient papyrus from ancient Egypt? The writing style is similar to what is called the Edwin Smith Papyrus. In fact, the writing looks like it was written during the same period of that papyrus. According to the Wikipedia article about it, "The Edwin Smith Papyrus is an ancient Egyptian medical text, named after Edwin Smith who bought it in 1862, and the oldest known surgical treatise on trauma... It dates to Dynasties 16-17 of the Second Intermediate Period in ancient Egypt, c. 1600 BCE." Is it possible this papyrus was purchased in the same way as was the Edwin Smith Papyrus? Possibly by a collector? This has become an issue, ancient Egyptian papyri taken out of Egypt or otherwise sold illegally without the authority and approval of the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities. We don't know about its authenticity, and if it is authentic at all, nor how it was removed from Egypt. But we would like to know and possibly return it to Egypt where it may belong. As for now, if it is authentic, it is an orphan. Separated from its other family of papyri where it rightfully belongs. This book is a way to, hopefully, bring attention to it, so that it can be authenticated, identified and returned to Egypt where it belongs. If you have any information about this papyrus, or if you would like to be part of its authentication and return to Egypt, you are encouraged to contact us at the email address listed on the copyright page of this book. Thank you.

Mary Harrison, London-based author, wrote ten books and a play throughout the 1980s and 1990's. The play is about the life and times of her favourite novelist, Thomas Hardy. Mary was an avid fan and wrote the play in 1999. It is called The Ladies' Man. The manuscript was only discovered recently in an old bookcase. Available via Amazon, both on Kindle and as a published play. Mary explores the captivating relationships between author Thomas Hardy and all his leading ladies. She also writes about Thomas' relationship with his father and best friend plus a host of personal incites. Mary gets to the heart of Thomas Hardy's emotions and explores his troubled relationship with his wife, and later, with his true beloved.

The Skillful Cook written by Mary Harrison is a book which is not just about recipes. Rather the author has sympathy towards people who spend their life time in kitchens and home making, but rarely rewarded but blamed frequently even for small mistakes. The working class has to be taught not just cooking rather the art of home making. They should be made to believe themselves for pride in what they do is not just cooking, but the art of home making. In this book the modern aspects of cooking are very well explained in elaborative style from each and every recipe making from Breads & Cakes, Jellies and Creams, Soufflées and Omelets - to How to use up Fragments.

Having enjoyed successful careers in three different industries (manufacturing, construction and commercial real estate) I havelearned my talents, skills, experience and God-given gifts can be applied in different ways in many diverse situations. All that wasrequired was a willingness to go wherever God led me and to do whatever he asked me to do. In the process of so doing I learned Godhad a plan for my life which was more challenging than my own plan, but also far more exciting and rewarding. My wife Mary’s experiencehas been similar to mine, as she was afforded opportunities to go places and do things which have gone far beyond what she expectedfor herself.Based on our life experiences as a married couple with dual professional careers, my wife and I developed the concept we callspiritual entrepreneurship. The challenges we faced in fulfilling the requirements of two separate careers without neglecting our familyobligations led us to the principles and practices of this concept.Feel free to visit our website at www.spiritual-entrepreneurship.com
