Of particular interest will be:

The Sanity Manual:  the Therapeutic Uses of Writing

and

Life Passages:  Writing Exercises for your Life Journey

Both books contain my revolutionary interactive writing exercises, all of them road tested with groups over the years, all of them designed to get you to the place you need to write about.

my most recent book is:

Stories We Need To Know

It's available through Amazon.com. CLICK to see it and some reviews and notices.

There is also a Memoir:

From Coastal Command to Captivity: the memoir of a Second World War Airman

It's the story of my father's wartime experiences in the RAF, and in Stalag Luft III prison camp.  He worked with me on this before his death, and left the papers to me so that his work could be completed. It contains many of the color paintings and pen-and-ink drawings he did while incarcerated, as well as some rare photographs of the time - all of which survived by some miracle.  All in all a fascinating story and a most unusual record of a life-transforming experience.

You can buy books through Amazon or directly from me.  My email is allan@allanhunter.net, and I accept paypal.  I can also inscribe the book to you or whom ever you ask me to. Postage on the books is $3.00, and each book is $20.

My novel, How They Met, is $15.(Can you see we like to keep things simple?)

(There is a sixth book, but it's out of print:  Joseph Conrad and the Ethics of Darwinism. If you have a copy to sell please let me know.  I keep getting asked about it and have only my own copy left.)

Sometimes people say to themselves, 'Sure, one day I'll buy that book' or 'I'll get it from the library..'

All I can say is don't make excuses.  These are books to be read and referred to over and over, and if you're serious about developing your awareness and your soul then you'll need you own copy.  I promise you, this is true.

Do you want to read the first chapter

of Stories We Need to Know?  Well.... go to 'Extracts from my new book' and click, and you'll get Chapter One.

Stories We Need To Know

The six archetypes schema finally makes sense out of the mess of books on archetypal images.  Jung thought there might be only four archetypes, then he went back to one;  Carol Pearson thinks there are thirteen.  Joseph Campbell thought there might be as many as a thousand.  Going through 3000 years of literature we see just six archetypal stages, although they may take several confusing forms. These are the stages that seem to underlie all of our journeys and in the book I look at both literature and how we might see our own lives in terms of stages from Innocent to Magician.
