BiggyBoo Books, Reviews: DOGGED DAYS

This first review has only been added on 5th January 2010. It is written by my beautiful partner who has courageously decided to step out of the shadows to show her support for me. Thank you darling.

"Dogged Days is a candid recount of Ellis' experiences and those which have profoundly impacted on his family life. Yet he remains focussed on getting the message out that 'we are not alone' - forsaking all else. His spirit is to be admired.

A partner through many lifetimes, I find myself once again by his side in this linear. The events of this book are not only honest and compelling but thought provoking. We are not alone and having witnessed some of his experiences first hand, can only applaud his openness to share this incredible phenomena."

There are few writers, particularly in the realm of the paranormal, where you feel that you are a part of their journey, as though you are inside their head as they write down the words you are reading. Ellis C Taylor is one of those people. He writes from the heart and that shows on every page of every book he has written. He calls a spade a spade and leaves the reader to decide whether or not to believe him.

Having spent a lifetime dealing with bizarre circumstance, Ellis is supremely qualified to write about the subject. In Dogged Days, he does just that, taking us on a personal voyage from childhood to the present, cataloguing events that range from witnessing UFOs to ghostly manifestations to coming face-to-face with a gnome – yes, a gnome! – and coming to terms with alien abduction. Some of the things of which he writes appear fantastical, but his sincerity shines through and you find yourself saying, “Wow!” as his story unfolds.

Armed with photographs, diary entries and accounts from friends and family, Dogged Days is a fabulous book, written in Ellis’ usual, witty, self-deprecating style and should take pride of place on anybody’s bookshelf.

Dogged Days is a book written on a human level in a simple style. It tells the story of a man like any other, someone you can identify with and sympathize with, but one who walks a tightrope suspended between this universe and others unseen that burst our lives out of the illusion that we’ve been told is the One Sole Reality. What he has experienced is real. Other people around him have witnessed some of the strangeness that he is involved in, including myself. His experiences made me laugh, they made me cry, and above all they made me wonder! Hopefully they will make you wonder too. More

‘A Book of Wonders’, for this surely is what it is and I heartily commend it to any student of the paranormal and the occult. More

...at the core of the book are the personal experiences that Ellis has chosen to share with us. They are often terrifying. Nightmares of looming evil reach their shadowy claws into our dimension. They leave marks on skin, and psychological scars in minds, and present an ever-present threat to the experiencers. At times, the stories have a supernatural flavour, at other times the accounts are straight out of alien abduction research. Perhaps there is no real distinction between them beyond our cultural viewpoint. Ellis describes the experiences in gripping detail, and opens the door to his personal world where friends and family are affected by the psychic mysteries that abound around him. More

Ellis has a wonderful way of writing; he makes things simple; easy to understand; but most of all he speaks (and writes) straight from the heart.

Some of the subjects he tackles aren't that easy to write about, but he's very uncomplicated and professional in the way he does write about them. There's no confusion; no waffling; he gets straight to the point and tells it as it is and I for one find that refreshing. Most of all, he portrays the truth as he knows it to be and that is quite something in these troubled times.

An accomplished author, his works are a proverbial breath of fresh air guaranteed to dispel any cobwebs lodging in your mind!

'Dogged Days testifies not only to one person's extraordinary experiences, but also to the reality of the hidden realms from which those experiences derive. Ellis is a committed researcher, and peerless guide to the weird; and this book is an authentic glimpse into his magical world.'

Having known Ellis for a number of years and having shared various orb-hunting excursions, dowsing at sacred sites and been present with him, both here and in the USA, to experience first-hand some of the events he describes in his book, I have no hesitation in recommending this as an essential read for those who seek to understand a bit more about the true nature of reality. Ellis proved to me on several occasions that he can not only photograph orbs but can also see them. I consider him a dear and long-standing friend; a fellow traveller on a journey into the unknown.

Like many thousands of people on this planet, Ellis Taylor lives in the tension betwixt and between two realities. There is the 'normal', everyday world where a living must be earned, the mundane minutiae of life attended to and where the 'supernatural' is a generally avoided topic and then there is the reality where other dimensions, off-world visitors, government black ops, frequency fluxes and energy portals are all too real and intrusive. Functioning in the former while experiencing the latter requires mental and emotional equilibrium, nerves of steel, an open mind, discernment and wisdom and a brave heart. Ellis has all of these and more. Especially he has the courage to tell his story and thereby add more pieces to the jigsaw of the true nature of reality. Apart from all that, he is a really nice person and his book is interesting!

"From the moment we met Ellis we recognised him as a kindred spirit - and his new book, 'Dogged Days', is very much a book of the time.

It reflects issues and questions which will be familiar to many people, who have encountered the extraordinary. All such encounters cause us to re-evaluate our life and purpose here - and yet it is not so much what happens to us that is important but how we respond to those events, as confusing as they may sometimes be. Many people may claim to know all the Answers - but invariably those who do, usually haven't understood the Questions in the first place.

In Dogged Days, Ellis candidly relates his own unusual experiences and in doing so draws alongside all who are less interested in popular answers and more concerned with asking the right questions about the nature of Reality."

I have known Ellis for over 11 years and he has become a wonderful friend and a fellow researcher for whom I have deep respect. I met Ellis when he and his family were experiencing anomalous phenomena, i.e. contact with non-human intelligences. He had been led to my door by a joint friend, and said to me that there was no support group for this experience, and that people just thought you were a 'loony'. Although at that time I had not supported anyone with such experiences, I was aware of the phenomenon. On meeting Ellis I was in no doubts that this profound experience was impacting quite tangibly on both him and his family.

In fact I can honestly say that Ellis and his story provided a new direction and the catalyst for the creation of ACERN to support those with contact.

But even more importantly Ellis has shown tremendous courage in uncovering the hidden and ‘darker side on this planet; a challenging task that would cast fear into most hearts. But I once asked Ellis if he would ever stop doing this given the forces he challenges? His answer was no, they have killed me before for doing this but it is fundamental to my purpose and if they did do it again then I would just keep coming back and doing it again until I succeed! "

That is a man who has the honesty and integrity to do what he believes, and to speak his truth. I am honoured to be his friend.

Prepare to be taken on an enchanting journey of mystery and multi-dimensional exploration! To read Dogged Days is akin to being granted a private audience with a bard of ancient Albion, as Ellis Taylor engagingly weaves his-story with natural skill and charm. If ever there was a book to be read next to a roaring fire by candlelight, this is it...

...the recognition of my own childhood in your experiences is beyond profound and has given me a lot of deep joy these last few hours. Beyond that, I think this is the best thing you have written. It is glorious. There is so much honesty and heart in it. It sings of mystery and the importance of mystery, of commonality in experience and the wisdom to be found in personal revelation and relationship with this wonderous wider universe.

Just finished reading Dogged Days. Spooked me out a bit as it stirred memories of a lot of similar experiences I had when I was youngerish (those were the days!! lol) though not to the same intensity. Had a couple of restless nights since. Writing them all down at the mo and there was a lot more than I thought. I think they are a big part of the puzzle to some major questions and searching going on in me at the mo. That dragons blood telling me to wake up!!!
