Doug Dillon is a meditator, paranormal explorer, author, and former educator. In his previous life as an educator, he served as a classroom teacher, high-risk student coordinator and finally as Director of Staff Development and Volunteer Services for Orange County Public Schools in Orlando, Florida.
Doug writes for both adults and young people, mostly in the areas of history and the paranormal. He has written for Prentice Hall, Harcourt, Boys’ Life, Learning Magazine, the Orlando Sentinel, Mitchell Lane Publishers and Old St. Augustine Publications.
Carl Jung, Hauntings and Paranormal Coincidences is Doug’s most recent nonfiction book. His first literary effort in that same field of investigation was co-authored years ago with his wife, Barbara, and published by an imprint of Prentice Hall. Titled, An Explosion of Being: An American Family’s Journey into the Psychic, this book caught enough national interest for Doug and Barb to do radio shows across the United States, a great many of them taking calls from audience members.
Capitalizing on his work with teenagers, and his experience with the strange and unusual, Doug is in the process of completing a young adult, paranormal/historical fiction series titled, The St. Augustine Trilogy.
In those books, of course, coincidences abound as teens Jeff and Carla struggle to understand being inundated by weird events in the oldest and most haunted city in the United States, St. Augustine, FL. Books 1 & 2, Sliding Beneath the Surface and Stepping Off a Cliff, have already been published. Book 3, Targeting Orion’s Children, is still being written.
