The first book Michael ever wrote took him two weeks. It was an instant best seller, “A Guide to Organic Gardening in Australia.” He thought, “Wow, this is easy.” Now, twenty-three books later, and with that first book long out of print, he continues to find writing easy, but writing best sellers . . . hmm, not so easy! His last, and final, organic gardening book is “Conscious Gardening.”

Michael writes because he honestly loves writing. Quite often the next book will be his last . . . but he continues writing. He truly enjoys the communicative power and the sheer poetry of lovingly crafted words. He has had five best sellers, with a couple of literary awards for his novel, “Getting There” (in Europe, “The Boy with no Shadow”).

His next two books, “Talking with Nature” and “Journey into Nature,” became best sellers and are now under one cover. These were followed by “Journey into Oneness” and “Into a Timeless Realm,” also now under one cover. All these books are about his earlier metaphysical journeys.

His other books are either his more recent metaphysical journeys with Pan or about spirituality. The trilogy, “Through the Eyes of Love; Journeying with Pan,” is absolutely unique. They not only share his deeper metaphysical travels but also his inner development while he was engaged in them. Although he ended the trilogy, “Stepping Between Realities” continues the same themes of metaphysical exploration.

His last two books are a departure from all his other writing. “From Illusion to Enlightenment” is a journey he has made. In a simple way, he describes the steps needed to move away from the deceit of life’s illusions toward enlightenment. It is simple, yet profound. This was recently followed by “Entering the Secret World of Nature.” This shares over fifty years of his experience, teaching the reader how they also can achieve this. He believes we have potentials and abilities of which most people seem to know nothing. We are able to actually cross the threshold between the physical and the metaphysical.
