Patrick Harpur
Patrick Harpur is an acclaimed author, best known for his philosophical works, which include 'The Philosphers Secret Fire: A History Of The Imagination' and 'Mercurius: The Marriage Of Heaven and Earth', the latter of which, after being out of print for several years (and fetching a small fortune on auction sites like eBay) is finally being re-released in a paperback edition in late-2007 by Blue Angel Publishing.
Other works include 'Daimonic Reality: A Field Guide to the Otherworld' and 'The Serpent's Circle'.
He currently has a couple of new projects in the pipeline, including 'The Stormy Petrel', a fictional biography of Søren Kirkegaard, and 'The Savoy Truffle', a witty, dramatic novel about life in Britain's richest, wildest Surrey suburb in the early 1960s.
Patrick Harpur lives near Dorchester in Dorset.
