Diary of a Soul Doctor
from the Ashington Casebooks compiled by Dr. Jack Rivers

 
Diary of a Soul Doctor opens up a new genre of mystery fiction in which the soul is the battlefield and metaphysics the weapon of choice.

Just as the cases of Sherlock Holmes are presented through the pen of Dr. Watson, so too, the cases of the Soul Doctor come to us through the diaries of Jack Rivers, Ash's assistant. Set in Southern England in the recent past, come to the sanctuary of the Beacon, and discover how the lost art of soul-healing is applied.

The Soul Doctor of this series of ten interlinked stories is Richard Ashington. Known to everyone as Ash, he is a healer and psychologist with a magical background. Calling upon a wide range of esoteric skills to track down and heal the cause of baffling conditions and mysterious situations, with his dependable, and sometimes skeptical assistant, Jack Rivers, Ash investigates cases that have baffled doctors, defying diagnosis or detection. His cases, annotated and compiled in the diaries of Rivers, explore how the ancient past stirs once again to disrupt the present, how re-incarnational bonds defy modern conventions, how supernatural happenings create fear and disquiet, and why unchecked evils spread their miasma into ordinary lives. 270 pages.

Return of the Soul Doctor
Ash and Jack return for the second of the Soul Doctor series.

The second of the Soul Doctor books sees the return of Ash and another set of case histories recorded by his assistant Jack Rivers, involving mysterious psychic disturbances and soul sicknesses unsolvable by ordinary medical means. Set against the background of their residential nursing home on the South Downs, many stories play out: the unwary visitor to sacred sites who falls into a dangerous trance, the overshadowing of a young artist who paints like a Renaissance master, the deadly haunting of an army camp, the Jacobean play with a reputation worse than that of Macbeth, the man still being stalked by a prisoner put away for life, and the young woman trying to return from a life of abuse. Ash and Jack delve deeper into the human psyche, reaching into the timeless zones to bring healing to shattered lives. This time they face dangers that require them to seek sanctuary themselves.

‘Problems often cannot be healed this side of the worlds, because we need to go beyond time and place into eternity and space to find the solutions.’
