Hi Jan,

Thanks for your enquiry and also for taking the trouble to read the book. I'm glad that the book has been of value to you. I am humbled that you found it interesting. Your comments made it clear that you took the trouble to read it all.

I do not have any plans to make any public presentations about the book or the issues it raises. 'The Song of the Greys' is internecine in the nature of its thesis and is connected with an on going series of ideas in two forthcoming works still in the pipeline. It would not be fruitful, therefore, to isolate any point for discussion and consider it independently from the rest of those made in the other books. This makes it rather impractical to make any presentations about the book in public forums as they would have to include all the points all the books cover. I also find that authors rather get in the way of the magic catharsis that happens between the reader and the page. A mind of your eminence for example could do it all far more justice than I could ever do. I don't know if you feel the same Professor Delasara, but I have always felt the moment of intuition and inspiration belongs to the author, but the rest belongs to the reader. I am also a reluctant so called 'Ufologist'. I dislike the word. I don't really know what it means because I have no expertise in commenting on any 'flying objects' as such, identified or unidentified.

I am the shy sort I'm afraid. I find forums and conferences and book expositions daunting. They also tend to justify the criticisms of sceptics who often now accuse the format of being an avenue for earning a good living, keeping in with the old axiom 'praise the lord and pass me the money'.

It was my intention to provide, through 'The Song of the Greys', a springboard of serious ideas from which the reader could launch into his or her own further investigation, understanding and analysis of things beyond the atom, both philosophical and 'theo-sophical'. For that reason I do not really want to push or promote the ideas already presented in the book in any way. I feel that they are there for those who want to look at them in some depth in the liberty of their own natures.

However, as I imply, there is room for expansion on the themes of the book and for new ideas that are not presented in it. For that I have needed the scope provided by a second book - the sequel to 'The Song of the Greys'. This is now with the publishers. The third is just finished. I will send you a copy of both in due course because I value your judgement.

Thank you again for your gracious comments. My best wishes to you,

Nigel Kerner
