Author: Victor E. Smith

Victor E. Smith regards himself as a generalist. From childhood on a communal farm in Pennsylvania, to adolescence in a Catholic seminary, into adulthood with occupations that ranged from counselor and teacher to entrepreneur and corporate computer trainer, Vic remains astounded, often stunned, by both the wonders and terrors of human existence. Such awe has always compelled him to write: poetry, journalling, in business and education publications, and now in novel form. A lifelong proponent of human spiritual evolution, he has focused on paranormal phenomena and their manifestations. Travel to the settings he writes about, no matter how remote, is to his research what fingerprints are to a detective. THE ANATHEMAS, A Novel of Reincarnation and Restitution, aged literally through decades of experience and revision, was published in March 2010. CHANNEL OF THE GRAIL, A Novel of Cathars, Templars and a Nazi Grail Hunter, in May 2016. He is now working on his third novel, THE AMBIGUOUS ORACLE.
