This fascination is still with him and shows up in his eight books. In his 30’s he was hosting home discussion groups and playing the organ in two different churches. By age 40 he had one of the largest collection of metaphysical books in Canada and had developed a 160 acre spiritual retreat which was attended by folks from all over the world. At the same time he organized university seminars and was featured on various radio shows and hosted a 33 week television series entitled “This Psychic World.” It was then that an editor from Doubleday came across some of his lecture papers and asked him to write an encyclopedia on parapsychology. That was almost 30 years ago. Once hooked, he has been writing ever since, during which time he had a construction business, a land development company, an architectural design practice, a vinyl window factory and a pewter foundry. The encyclopedia, updated and in a more popular style, is now available under the title GETTING REAL. A few years ago Kim was injured in a construction accident and is now confined to a wheelchair. According to Kim: “Things have not been dull. If I’ve got it figured right, I’m now on my third life, doing what I love most.”view less
