Andrew E. Haughton

Andrew Haughton was born in Yorkshire, England, in the early nineteen fifties but had never heard of OOBE's, or for that matter showed any interest in the subject until the early nineteen nineties.

However, since then he’s researched and personally experienced the OOBE phenomenon and now truly believes. He also believes that most people on earth have OOBE's, most nights ... only they just don’t realise it!

"There have been many scientific studies undertaken on the subject," says Haughton. "A significant number agree that OOBE’s are possible, but unfortunately the majority disagree, adopting the: ‘If it can’t be fully explained, then it doesn’t exist’ stance."

Regardless, no matter what the sceptics say, this Yorkshireman is adamant that OOBEs are real, saying: "I could never have written this book if I hadn't experienced several OOBEs myself. In fact, it was due to one of these experiences that I sat down one morning in front of a blank PC screen and started writing; something I had never done before. It was like I had to do it ... or else!"

OOBE is the first book of a planned trilogy. The second of these ‘OOBE Coma’ follows on from the original OOBE storyline and is centred on the fictional character of James Alexander, the multi-millionaire Yorkshire businessman. who built a computer software business that he started in his fathers garage at age seventeen, into a billion pound software company, Mega Software, by the time he was thirty seven.
