Geffrey Von Gerlach is a fine artist, a novelist and practitioner of Oriental medicine. He understands the marriage of the mystical and the mundane that is necessary to create change. In a recent interview he states: “It’s as if there were a landing strip in each of us that awaits expectantly for creativity to touch down… that, in reality, every painting you paint or story you write already exists and is up there floating around somewhere waiting for you to draw it in. You’re merely the air traffic controller bringing that brilliant idea into the physical dense world. Every idea exists somewhere and the true creative process is more like an act of meditation than one might think… sitting in contemplation allowing that great idea to “come to you”. THAT’S THE ADVENTURE.
He has several novels available on Amazon, Kindle and on the internet, including GHOSTPOINTS, an intriguing story that utilizes acupuncture to recall the memories of a once-famous man who lies in a coma; HEXE, a 700 page, three-part, modern-day saga, rife with witches, warriors, magic and murder, and BEEHIVE ARIZONA, a mystery set in a sleepy but unsettling mining town in Southern Arizona. DEATHBED KISSES, a quirky and humourous collection of stories expressing a darker side of love is also available. His most recent book, NOBODY WANTS TO BE THE GIRL ANYMORE: Rediscovering the Power of the Female Yin examines relationships and the imbalance of Yin and Yang by using classic films to explain some of our thinking behind the apparent war between the sexes.
