Gregory Grant

I am disabled with Cerebral Palsy. I began writing at the age of 16 and revisited it when I was 25. From there, I started creating short stories. My inspiration comes from church and life in general. I enjoy writing funny pieces as well as poems that make people think. I tend to think quickly and creatively. Outside of writing, I enjoy photography, riding my bike, and exercising.

Author of the Month

Dr Nicholas Campion BA, MA, PhD

I am a historian with expertise in anthropology. My BA was in History from Queens’ College, Cambridge, my MA was in Southeast Asian Studies (politics, history and international relations) from the School of Oriental and African Studies, London, and my PhD was in the Study of Religions at Bath Spa University.

My main interest is in how world views, or cosmologies, are constructed, particularly in how we structure history and read meaning in the sky. I have written extensively on the history of astrology and associated magical and esoteric ideas, as well as on the influence of astronomy on culture, and the new discipline of Cultural Astronomy.

My current projects include consideration of space exploration, ethics and myth. I also write on utopianism and millennial beliefs and maintain an interest in contemporary politics and international relations.

I am also on the Education Committee of the European Society for Astronomy in Culture (SEAC), and the International Executive Committee of the Inspiration of Astronomical Phenomena (INSAP)
