Story4.5 out of 5 stars 65
In Hauntings, James Hollis considers how we are all governed by the presence of invisible forms - spirits, ghosts, ancestral and parental influences, inner voices, dreams, impulses, untold stories, complexes, synchronicities, and mysteries - that move through us through history. He offers a way to understand them psychologically, examining the persistence of the past in influencing our present, conscious lives and noting that engagement with mystery is what life asks of each of us. From such engagements, a deeper, more thoughtful, more considered life may come.

A great way to understand how the past runs us
Reviewed: 02-28-19
I have been familiar with James Hollis's writings for many years. Hauntings offers deep psychological insights into how the past continues to influence our present lives in subtle and unconscious ways. Written with depth, wit, and an occasional bit of humor, Hauntings deserves a wide audience. James Conlan does a masterful job of capturing Hollis's tone and depth, while providing a read that held my keen interest all the way through.

Join Lenny, son Barry, girlfriend Portia, and hacker Emma Meripol as they connect the dots that lead them on a carnage-strewn chase that will set you on edge and keep you guessing to the very end. It begins early one Christmas morning at a local Starbucks as Lenny, an ex-securities trader turned sleuth, watches a curly haired barista add a suspicious packet of white powder to a woman's coffee. And, well, I hate to spoil the fun....

Unusual premise for a contemporary thriller
Reviewed: 10-26-17
This is a contemporary thriller filled with dimensional characters and an unusual premise: a recent retiree gets drawn into solving the mystery of some suspicious deaths. Along the way he and his unlikely "team" uncover a plot to steal technological secrets that in the wrong hands could actually alter the way people think and behave - without them realizing it. Michael Lieberman provides a fast pace and a very well-ordered plot to keep the action moving. James Conlan narrates in a style that's spot on: good storytelling and likeable, three-dimensional characters. Let's hope there's more adventures about Lenny D and his gang.

The Beech Tree introduces you to the lives of those who visited the tree and shared their lives, their loves, their hopes and dreams, beneath the tree's dark green canopy...and their curious, inexplicable connection to one another. The listeners are introduced to Johnny and Margo, the first characters to visit the tree, just before Johnny ships off to fight in The Great War in 1918.

One tree, many stories
Reviewed: 05-05-17
Phelan's story weaves the lives of many people over the span of a century. It's rich in character and rewarding in its conclusion. Conlan does a fine job of bringing the stories to life. It's like being there when he tells it.
