What readers are saying about Mind Surfing:
"A wonderful adventure that stimulates the mind and soul...I could not put Mind Surfing down as one chapter leaped into the next in an intriguing maze that culminated in a look into my soul. Mind Surfing changed me!" - Robin Brown, B.Sc. (Chemical Engineer)
"Mind Surfing is a great mystery because it epitomizes the human mystery. I love the created world with all of its dual meanings, places and characters; they all feel so vibrant to the reader. I can hardly wait for the next instalment! I read this text over and over again and was enriched by each reading." - Lisa Gross, BSN (Professional Nurse)
"Mind Surfing takes the reader on a journey through different levels of consciousness. The adrenaline rush I experienced throughout my reading of Mind Surfing kept me riveted to the book until the end. This book is the first of a long series of definite successes for Mr. Waugh." - Étienne Lizotte, DESS, M.Ps. (Psychologist)
"Surfing is right! Just finished reading Gil's first book. The mind that is being surfed is both Karen's and your own. Although Karen (Gil) describes the worlds she is travelling through, you are left up to your own interpretation as to what they look like, because it's all in your head (mind). An insightful bit about seeing yourself as two different people as well I think.. if I understood correctly. The story takes you from normalcy to fantasy and back again. A good read!" - Alexander Lang (Senior Security Management Consultant)

"You''ll no longer think of Canada as a prosaic place after reading Gil Waugh''s tale of a magical Ottawa. His story mixes the metaphysical and the mysterious, the human and the transcendent, in a fascinating and compelling blend." - Robert J. Sawyer, Best Novel Hugo and Nebula Award Winner "Evening Song is a provocative and compelling piece of storytelling. A multi- voice, time-shifting narrative, this techno-fantasy mystery hits all the right notes!

Gil Waugh
Gil was born in Callander, a small town on Lake Nipissing in Northern Ontario. He is a classically trained trumpet player and electric bassist who toured as a rock musician in the 1970s.

He is avidly interested in cognitive science and neural network applications, and for many years now, has designed, secured and maintained corporate networks. In the late 1990s, Gil wrote the Karen Simpson Sandalwood Detective agency series novels Mind Surfing and Evening Song – Òran Feasgair, which are still in print and which were originally published in 1999 went into a 2nd print edition in 2008.

Mike and actor Christopher Reeve officially launched RWC in the spring of 2001, and in October of 2001, Mike succeeded in becoming the first quadriplegic to circumnavigate the globe. The trip won media attention all around the world, raised an estimated 1.5 million dollars, won Mike a Governor General’s meritorious service medal, and was captured in a feature-length documentary film.Gil hails from a proud mix of Highland and Lowland Scottish heritage which has strongly motivated him to embrace, support, and promote Gaelic language, music and culture.
