Just a quick note today to say that I just finished my new children’s book — “The Kaleidoscopic Hat”!
It went through 6 major revisions. I think that I will use this method for all my future books.
I went through it with “my hands” — by writing out notes on the chapters.
I went through it with “my eyes” — by reading it out loud.
and I went through it with “my ears” — by listening to it being read.
All three revisions gave the book a lot of depth and layers.
Just sayin’!
Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, Xavier moved to Europe , in 1988. He speaks three languages (English, Dutch, and French), and has a bachelor’s degree in medical laboratory science. He has worked for years as a Biochemist, Toxicologist and Lab Technician in America, France and Belgium. He has also had an active interest in spirituality for three decades. Having traveled to various ashrams, pilgrimage sites, and meditation centers in India, France, Belgium, Italy, Germany, Spain, and New York City, he came across spiritual techniques used in Catholicism in Italy, Hinduism in India, Orthodox Catholicism in Montenegro, Taoism in China, and Islam in Turkey. On his journeys, he met privately with several spiritual guides and masters. All of them were open to questions about spirituality and why certain techniques were done. Many of his questions were about techniques surrounding affirmations, meditation, and prayer. The books Xavier writes condense six of these techniques into a series of unique books -- “The Six Steps of Scientific Prayer.”
