Born in Scotland in 1950 and raised in the coalmining communities of Scotland and England, T.D. McKinnon joined the British Parachute Regiment when he was just fifteen years old. After spending five years in the British army he worked at a number of occupations including bus driver, furnace-man, builder's labourer, roofer, bouncer, storeman, car salesman, life guard, aquatics manager, private investigator and for many years he was in high risk security: event and venue security, close personal protection, cash and gem escort and armed, rapid response for a national bank group. His close personal protection company was responisible for the close personal security and protection of a member of the Spanish royal family in the late 80's and was also part of the anti terrorist security team for President George Bush senior's visit to Australia in 1992.

As well as teaching and instructing in the private sector, he taught at government and private schools; also in the corporate sector (security industry).
Whilst at school T.D. McKinnon displayed a natural talent for writing, but it wasn't until the 1980s, after moving to Australia, that he began writing again.

A Word From the Author
I hope you enjoy dipping into my world. There is something here for everyone: from fiction to true stories that are full of suspence, adventure and thrills, pain, suffering, hope and salvation, with sometimes a lot, and at other times just a little bit of humour and fun thrown in for good measure. I guarantee you'll cry and laugh, be thrilled and sometimes scared, and you will always be entertained and have a good time. And isn't technology wonderful, you can have all of these books instantly!
Please feel free to talk to me via my blog; comment on anything you wish, ask whatever you want, and I will endeavour to respond to everyone.
I presently live in Tasmania, Australia with my beautiful wife Zoë who is a professional actor, singer and dancer. Zoë is the editor of all of my works, she is my collaborator and my 'computer wiz'. This website was designed and constructed by Zoë. Additionally she designs and creates my book covers.
One more thing I'd like to say here and that's about my experience with Seth. For those of you who aren't familiar with Jane Roberts and the SETH material books I am providing a link below to the Seth Network International website for your enlightment and ultimate benefit.
‘Revelation’ is the word used by so many people I have spoken to regarding their introduction to Seth. I have completed five books, dozens of short stories and many magazine articles to date, and I can’t think of a more apt word for my own introduction to the Seth material in 1980.
My Seth and Jane Roberts’ books still occupy the top shelf of my book case; on average I re-visit one or two per year and, regardless, read ‘The Nature of Personal Reality’ every couple of years.
I have five eBooks at this time of writing and, although the books vary in genre, those who are familiar with the Seth material will recognise his influence throughout my work. Please logon to the Seth site using the link below; you won't be sorry that you did.
