...a fast paced read and one of those books you just don’t want to put down! For anyone interested in the paranormal and metaphysical, this is a super, fun book and one that I enjoyed immensely. http://www.moonslipper.com...
This book works on many levels, an excellent introduction to the concepts current in the field of parapsychology... at best you may learn something new, and at worst you'll have read a witty and well-written paranormal detective story http://www.parascience.org.uk/
Two Thumbs Up http://www.paranormalnews.com...
The story is captivating and the quality of 70-some pages of endnotes and over 12 pages of references to studies are an invaluable resource to anyone who takes these subjects seriously... [the author shows] the required critical thinking of both sides of the parapsychological debate. http://www.mind-energy.net...
...a unique fiction, non-fiction mix that is very well
written...entertaining and amusing as well. If you like reading about parapsychology and the paranormal, then you should
buy it

pol-ter-geist
(noun): ‘Noisy spirit’;
paranormal source of physical disturbances.
In a retirement community in the desert of southern Arizona, Jack and Chloe Monroe have an unwanted guest. What once appeared merely strange has now taken on sinister overtones. What once seemed a curiosity now seems terrifying.
Paranormal researcher Dr Luke Jackson reluctantly takes up the investigation and finds himself drawn into the series of unexplained events at the Monroe house. Time is against Luke. He has just one week to unravel the mystery before he must return home.
The Hidden Whisper offers a rare opportunity to enter the intriguing world of the paranormal through the eyes of Luke Jackson. It is supported by a set of endnotes compiled by the author, parapsychologist JJ Lumsden, which offer additional explanations into many of the topic areas raised throughout the story.

line: Question)
Why did you write the book?
When people find out what you do, a good few questions normally follow.
Some people think the paranormal is nonsense, others less so. It just seemed
clear to me that folk might like an easy-to-read and accessible book that
illuminates parapsychology and the paranormal.
Why did
you choose this 'novel / popular science' format?
Just so the book isn't too full-on. People can dip in and out of the
endnotes when they want to learn more about particular topic areas, whilst
(hopefully) enjoying the main part of the book as a stand-alone story.
How do you
become a parapsychologist?
Parapsychologists hail from a number of disciplines including physics,
philosophy and psychiatry (lots of 'P's it seems), but most have
psychology backgrounds (mainly experimental, but also clinical). There are a
couple of universities in the UK that teach parapsychology, both as courses
at the undergraduate level, and as postgraduate qualifications.
I studied at Edinburgh University's 'Koestler Parapsychology Unit', which is part of the psychology department. Since it was founded in 1985, the KPU has turned out over two dozen PhD graduates, and been home to scores of laboratory experiments.
Any lecture tours planned? What about in the USA?
I think we'll have to see how well the book does first.
