Two Years on the English Gulag - by a Survivor
Extract from my new book about my two years on Brownsea Island. After my first helping of the Island I looked at other avenues of employment. A particularly rich episode was my interview for the post of Catering Manager at the Royal Naval Club Mayfair

A Bit on the Blind Side
My recently published third volume of my autobiography tells the story of my life with my fourth husband Wolfram Thome, a blind German from the Black Forest. This file contains the pictures from the book. Due to the cost of colour printing these appear in black and white in the book

Like it or Lump itThis is a book of eight short stories and four published articles, which I put together in 1998 and printed myself for circulation among friends. This was published under my then name of Valerie Thome. It has 50 pages and is illustrated throughout.
I think it makes a good introduction to my work.

The Open RoadWhen I set out in 2010 to ride to the Black Forest, I had no idea that my husband was coming along. We had never been apart since he lifted off the planet in Killarney in 2006, but on this holiday he was to be present in an ever stronger form. This magical story of love between two worlds will give comfort to anyone who has lost their dearest friend and companion. Colour photographs throughout.

Riding with AngelsIn 2011, to celebrate my 70 years on this planet, I cycled the Rhineradweg from Rotterdam to Strasbourg, finishing with a week in the Black Forest. Before I set off, I decided to ask the Angels for help whenever I needed it. I had never tested the Angels before, and they delivered on the nail every time! They also expected something of me, and if I did not learn a lesson, they kept me in one place until I did! Colour photographs throughout.

Dream Diary of a White WitchI'm including this because I want to encourage interest in dreams and in dreaming as a way to individuation. I began keeping this diary in 1984 shortly after initiation as a white witch, and continued until 1995, when Wolf and I made our epic journey by bicycle from Pendle Forest to the Black Forest. It covers the whole period of my magical and spiritual development. The dreams are reproduced exactly as they were written down at the time.
