About the Book

If you described the contents and the lay out of a room seen in your mind as a random image, then have a complete stranger tell you that you've just described his bedroom in detail, would you believe him? What if he was telling the truth? Life in the wyrd lane is about my decade spanning journey of a man who thought being clairvoyant was a person born with gift, only to become clairvoyant myself. I've spent the first twenty years of my life knowing (like everyone else) how I think, how I understand things to be, knowing my own mind. When, by shear accident, I start becoming aware of a part of my mind that can see farther than physical reality, and into a world that I'm still learning about, and still coming to terms with. From the moment before I had my first 'vision', to the moment I started doing reading for strangers, from my initial view of having no real interest in mediums or clairvoyants, to learning how to deal with the feelings and emotions that followed. As far as I'm aware I never had 'invisible friends' as a child, I was never intrigued to find out what my future holds or whether that was all clairvoyants did. I think, like most people, I did and still do believe in an after life, but having been told a relative is near, and seeing them standing next to you for yourself, that's the icing on the cake. This was not meant to be a book, it started as a written down list of experiences. But how many 'new age books' have you read that's not been written by someone in the professional field? This was one reason why I decided to publish it.

About the Author

Dave Ansell has spent the past fifteen years as a builder working for various building companies. He left collage with city and guild certificates in general building and bricklaying, which he is now doing for a large new build company in the east midlands. Aside from a career in the building trade he has also spent four years, part time, teaching snowboarding at his local dry slope while living in Kent.

Too many times have I read scholarly paranormal books by theorists who have approached this subject from a purely academic and subjectively critical standpoint, these books offer insight, but little personal experience. Dave Ansell's understanding is based solely on his experience, an approach that intellectual manuscripts on the mystical lack. Dave was not born with an innate, extrasensory gift and led what he deems an 'ordinary' life following an apprenticeship in construction and an active social life on the streets of a Kentish town with his 'Scooby-Gang.' His seemingly normal life transformed when the Scoobies inadvertently involved themselves in meditational journeys. Meditation led Dave on a voyage of rediscovery as he unravelled a self previously unknown to him and unlocked skills that he had previously been unaware of such as ESP and clairvoyance. Here Dave describes his entrance into the portal of another world and the development of his intuitive self through colourful and elaborate descriptions and discusses how he was forced to question his own sanity as the expedition into this other world continued.
