    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)

    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. In the early 1980s after leaving full time music, he trained as a commercial pilot, worked as a licensed Private Investigator, and eventually ended up returning to university to studying Criminology, and then college to study computer programming. 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.

In 1997, Gil co-founded Round the World Challenge (RWC) with Scottish-born World Cup ski champion and James Bond stuntman, Mike Nemesvary, who lives with quadriplegia after a training accident in the mid1980s. The goal of RWC was for Mike to drive his specially equipped truck around the world to raise funds and awareness of the abilities of people with disabilities. 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. In February 2009, he rallied a core group of directors together and incorporated Comunn Gàidhlig Ottawa. In June of 2009, he formed the Ar n-Òran Gaelic choir which recorded their first CD only three months later. He continued to spearhead the Gaelic movement in Ottawa by organizing and holding the first-ever Mòd Canada in November 2009. Gil currently teaches the Gàidhlig course in the Celtic Studies program at the University of Ottawa, is a certified PDQB (Scotland) bagpipe tutor and runs the West-End Bagpiping Studio.
