"Walking Out of This World was a really interesting read and while it was below 300 pages it manages to pack quite a lot in. It’s hard to fit this book into a box or rather genre. I’d say it’s almost like a Narnia but with a little less magic and focusing on a group of adults but it’s almost more than that as well."

Siobhain (What You Tolkien About)

“… begins as a story about a group of walkers exploring the English countryside, but it soon transforms into something far deeper: a meditation on life, memory, and what might exist beyond the boundaries of the physical world. Set in the misty hills and woodlands of Surrey, the novel invites readers to consider not only the landscape outside but the terrain within each character’s heart and mind … questions about life, death, and the essence of nature: Is the world itself alive? Can inanimate things possess spirit? The novel never gives easy answers, but instead allows the reader to walk alongside Eddie as he searches for meaning … You can almost feel the dampness of the leaves and hear the crunch of boots on wet earth. Yet beneath that realism lies a touch of the mystical, reminiscent of authors like Robert Macfarlane or Alan Garner. The pacing is unhurried, much like the walks themselves, giving readers space to reflect and interpret …”

Scott Olsen, Los Angeles Book Review

“… a finely woven novel where the quiet realism of the English countryside meets the shimmer of the mystical and the depths of the human mind … A mysterious man named Miles appears out of the drizzle to join a walking group in the Surrey Hills … leads them to Miteby, a place too perfect to be real, suspended somewhere between memory and myth … In the shadows, Miles’s rival, Lucifix, waits to claim the fallen … breathes in the texture of the English countryside, while threading its realism with something uncanny … The writing has a quiet luminosity, its rhythm echoing the steady pace of a long walk: deliberate, meditative, punctuated by revelation … leaves readers balancing between reason and wonder, the material and the mystical. Readers seeking an atmospheric story steeped in English landscapes and spiritual mystery will be richly rewarded …”

The Prairies Book Review

“… A riveting tale about second chances … will be a treat for paranormal fiction lovers … a story about making amends for past mistakes and finding love once again … plot is paced well and full of twists and turns … a fantastic drama with paranormal undertones …”
