To those of you who wrote, my sincere thanks for your positive comments and for your support.

Christopher,

I just finished your book and I loved every minute of it. The book flowed so well and the characters were captivating.

At 27 I have not read many books in my life but this book was suggested in a review on Amazon, so I decided to take a

chance and purchase it. I'm glad I did! Thank you..

PS Do you plan on writing a sequel to this book??

Thanks,

Mr. Regan,

I just finished reading your book Evolution of a Warrior. I really enjoyed how you blended meditative and psychological

techniques into a story. Do you intend to write a sequel to resolve the unanswered questions about Tara, Leo, the witch,

etc., or was your intent to show how the Warrior's path to enlightenment never ends?

Also, I was wondering how much of this book is true, and how much is fiction? I guessed that the manipulation tactics were true,

but what about personal auras, and being able to sense peoples thoughts and feelings?

Sincerely,

B K

Hello Christopher.

I bought your book, The Evolution of a Warrior, a few days ago, and I have started to read it (with great interest).  I just wanted to thank

you for a great book, and ask you for one advise:  I am 29 years old, handsome, smart, with great sense of humor.  The problem is that I have

always been awful with girls, and have been very shy about talking to them.  I was wondering if you think this book will help me, or do you

you have any advise on what could help me.

Thanks again,

Iceland

Mr. Regan,

My name is Keith and I just finished reading your book. I thought it was very good and enlightening.

I bought your book on a whim and I'm glad I did. I can relate a lot with the main character Tony. As the story starts out, Tony was not good at meeting women.

I too have been unlucky in love. I also have a black belt in Karate, I like to stay fit and I'm a network engineer.

I've been told I'm not that bad looking but I tend to be shy when it comes to meeting women and I have problems walking up to a woman I don't know in order

to ask her out. It's the rejection part I don't like. I'm 34 years old and my relationships are few and far between. I'm not getting any younger and I would like to

find someone before I get too old.

I thought the concepts of the Hunter and Warrior mentalities were very good in the book. Are those actual concepts or only fiction? Where/how do I find out more?

I usually don't send e-mails like this to book authors but after reading your book, I was hoping you could help...or at least point me in the right direction.

Thanks,

Dear Christopher,

I am not much of a reader except for technical lecture, but your book the evolution of a warrior I read in no time.

You did a really fine job.

I am from the Netherland also known as Holland.

I bought your book at amazon.com.

The only small disappointment of the book is not knowing what all about the stalking lady and not knowing how Tony eventually ended up.

That is in no measures with the amount of strength I could put out of your book.

I searched on a number of places where to buy eventually the other books where you refer to in every head of a chapter, but I can't find such a plave.

So perhaps you could inform me where your other works can be obtained.

With many regards,

G V

Dear Mr. Regan:

I just finished reading your book, "The Evolution of a Warrior" and enjoyed it very much.  Please answer a couple of questions:

At the beginning of each chapter, you quote from what seems like other books you've written, but I don't see them available at bookstores on the web

("The Dark Side of a Warrior," "How I Got Lucky and Bumped Into God," "The Belly Dancing Witches of New Jersey").  Are these books you've written

that are now out of print?  For people who ask you for more details concerning the female seduction techniques that Leo teaches Tony in your book, do

you have specific books that you recommend that specifically address all these specific techniques/teachings?

Thanks.

Sincerely,

S W

P.S.  By the way, I'm also from Long Island - Hempstead.  Was born in Manhattan, moved to Bayside, Queens, and later moved to Hempstead where I lived

 for about 11 years before entering the Air Force.

Dear Mr. Regan,

I loved your book.  I particularly liked how it had a realistic unresolved ending.  The type of therapy you do--can you recommend someone in the SF Bay area

who practices the same methods?  Thanks.

Dr. Regan,

I just wanted to say that I recently finished reading your book 'The Evolution of a Warrior', and I thought it was really good. I got it off of amazon.com.

I was looking for some self-help books, so I got yours among others. I could really identify with Tony. I could definitely use someone like Leo to coach me!

Thank you, and I am sorry if I am bothering you.

Dear Mr. Regan,

Thank you for the pleasure of your book Evolution of a Warrior. I finished reading it this weekend and found it quite enjoyable. What inspired you to write it?

To what degree, if any, does the story mirror your experience? Are you familiar with the novels of Dan Millman and Carlos Casteneda?

It's with great interest that I notice you work as a hypnotherapist and coach. What do your coaching services entail? I feel like I'm dying and can use my own

guru to guide my evolution.

Best to you!

Hi. I just wanted to say that I really liked your book, The Evolution of a Warrior.

Thanks for writing it,

Dear Mr Regan,

I just recently finished your book "The Evolution of a Warrior", and thought it was great. I came upon it by chance, and am glad I did. It was the right book at

the right moment for me, and I just wanted to let you know that.

Sincerely,

Christopher,

I just finished reading your book 'The Evolution of a Warrior'. It's 4:23am, and I was planning to go to sleep at 10 pm.... The sub story of the teenage girl with

 jet black hair kept me glued to the book. It seemed like an exotic, exciting theme. The last chapters, I just read to find out more about it. The vague description

of her, made my mind draw up wild and pleasing images. I still would like to hear more about it. Was she, like Leo just an imagination of Tony?

The idea of having a coach like Leo, is sure seductive. A lot of people, including me, secretly wish to have a mentor.

Well, thanks for writing the book. I must have had some deep thirst for it for using up the night to finish it.

Take care,

Dear Mr. Regan,

I'm just writing to let you know that I think your book, The Evolution of a Warrior, was really great on a lot of different levels. I have been studying martial arts

for a few years now, I majored in psychology, I've been reading up a lot on hypnosis and I recently injured my shoulder pretty badly-- so my interest held well.

I think your book addressed a number of serious issues while maintaining a somewhat light hearted and good humored feel. I finished the book the day after I

got it, I just couldn't put it down. I think you mixed esoteric ideas with "macho guy" humor in a way that is not only unexpected, but subtly penetrating. I guess

I just wanted to say thanks for writing such an interesting and engaging piece of work and was wondering if any of the other books that were quoted at the beginning

of the chapters are in print yet (I must admit, being a Jersey boy myself, I'm particularly intrigued about the belly dancing witches...) ?

Sincerely,

B D

Dear Mr. Regan,

First, I read you book, The Evolution of a Warrior, and thought it was excellent!!  I am an avid reader, and I come across few books that

are as fascinating a read as yours. Your book is a rare combination of a captivating story, interesting characters, and  advice for personal

growth. Defiantly worth a second read, and a book I will recommend in the future.  I hope you continue writing, and look forward to a new book.

Second, I am curious what type of coaching services you offer.  I noticed some of the teachings in the book are possibly based on NLP.  I

have been trying to use NLP for personal growth and it has produced mixed results.

Thanks for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,

Mr. Regan,

My name is Ted and I am 22 year old guy living in Silicon Valley, CA. I really enjoyed reading your book, and I want to thank you for giving me hope that

I can live a more fulfilling life. The "spiritual" aspects of your book affected me the most deeply, which is odd because I discovered the book by looking for

advice on how to seduce women. I would very much appreciate it of you could direct me toward some further reading.

Thanks again,

T from CA

Hi,

I just finished reading your book, and thought I'd send a quick thank you note.  It was recommended by a friend, and I really enjoyed gaining insight into the path

 I'm traveling along. While I never really thought about my approach to life as being that of a "warrior" I appreciated the reminders to stay on this path.  Some of the specific

techniques that Tony uses to train and develop his abilities have intrigued me.  For example, I have been working on my, ahem, "persuasive" abilities as it relates to quickly

seducing women.  I've quickly realized two things after my field experience.  First, it's not so much the words, it's the attitudes.  To be congruent, I have been making a lot of improvements on my personal goals and power and direction in life.  Similar to the lessons that Tony is taught.  Second, it can be very tempting to get into the state of mind

of objectifying women, and forgetting about them as people. Something has been preventing me from doing this completely, and it's good to see a book that discusses how

to be powerful without being a jackass.

Mr. Regan,

I have really enjoyed your book and its grasp of so many of the attributes available-mystical and psychological-to better one's self.

Could you tell me more about your practice and if you do similar work as in the book as Tony and Leo have.

I have studied a little of NLP, past life regression, and self hypnosis and through it all still feel that the mind is a very powerful mechanism.  If-the mind- can be

controlled and as you say you really learn to be a true hunter-not only will awareness be great, but love and happiness will flow.

I would like to work with someone with my quest.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Mr. Regan,

I read your book "The Evolution of a Warrior" and I just wanted to drop you a little note to let you know that it is one of the best books I have ever read.

The principles you set forth and the story have really touched me and I have begun to apply the material to my own life; and the results so far are remarkable.

I have been an avid reader of "personal development" books for the past 8 years and no book that I've encountered comes close to yours.

I was wondering if you could suggest further books and reference  material that I could seek out that would help complement the ideas you set forth in your book.

Or perhaps if you do any counseling and advising you could let me know the details as well.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best Wishes.

Dear Mr Regan,

I want to compliment you on your wonderful book, The Evolution of a Warrior: A Book of Personal Transformation. It is FANTASTIC! Although it was quite

painful for me to read your book, I couldn't put it down. I identified with the main character completely. His life IS my life. Everything about that character from

his unfulfilled life to the desire to end it all is a mirror reflection of myself. Your book helped me to understand that I am not alone in how I feel. More importantly,

it helped me to understand some of the behaviors, such as my fear of rejection, that have been holding me back for so many years. Every part of your book just spoke

to me. It has helped me to better understand myself and find some peace. I too am on my own path and this book helped me to realize that. Your book has given me

a new outlook on life and a new motivation to be better. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Regan,

Just a short note to tell you that I really enjoyed your novel The Evolution of a Warrior. I could be called a student of Dan Millman (Way of the Peaceful Warrior) and

your book intrigued me in its similarity to his first novel. Have you read Millman's works? I've included your book in my list of warrior writings (there are many!)

on my personal website http://mountainpath.mybravenet.com . It is still under construction, but the webpage The Path of the Warrior is pretty much complete; just click

on it and scroll through it. I'm hoping that you will create a sequel to your book, as the characters, especially Tony's mentor, Leo, are very fascinating. The thread

involving the mysterious girl needs to be continued, as I did not feel closure from its inclusion in the story. How about it? Anyway, you have gained a avid reader if you

wish to continue in a series. Thanks, once again, for the good read!

May Spirit always guide your path,

V A

Dear Mr. Regan,

I'm just writing to say how much I enjoyed reading your novel. I found It extremely touching and I was captivated in a way I hadn't been since

reading Dan Millman's "Way of the Peaceful Warrior".

I have recommended your book to many others - I hope it is selling well!

Kind regards,

I read your book and it was one of if not the best book I have ever read!!!!!!!!  Thank you very much. Do you have any other books, mainly the Darkside of a Warrior,

and How I got Lucky and Bumped into God.  I have a problem with following the instructions in the book, its mainly procrastination.  Do you have any advice for me

on this so that I too can start my path on becoming a Warrior!!!

Hi,

I just wanted to let you know that I accidentally came across your book and enjoyed every single page of it. Being an NLP practitioner myself, I liked the "technical parts"

as well as the humour that made me smile throughout the book. At the same time I was touched by the story line, as I can very much identify with what's going on and I

wished it was not having an open end like that, to provide further guidance or ideas about my own life. But then I guess that's life and there are no definite answers that

fit all the time. In any case, congratulations on an excellent book! I would love to read a follow-up!

By the way, I am male, single, 37 and from Vienna, Austria.

Good luck and all the best wishes from Europe,

Dear Mr. Regan,

I recently finished reading your book The Evolution of a Warrior, and I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it and identified with the

protagonist Tony.  I know initially, Tony was very depressed and insecure about his place in the world, and I have to say that this is

how I feel most of the time.  Unfortunately, I don't know how to reverse what I feel might be a slow and steady downward spiral.

I'm not sure what type of services you offer, but I would be interested in hearing if and how you help people like myself.  Please

email me back and let me know.  Thanks and again, great job on the book.

Dear Mr. Regan,

 I purchased your book about a year ago and have read it multiple

times since.  I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the information that the book contained.  I have studied the book and personally believe that much of the information

contained herein is based upon personal knowledge and/or experience.  I am emailing you today in hopes that you may be able to enlighten me with some of the

knowledge that Leo talks about through your book.  Some of which I knew prior to reading such as some of the conversational pieces that relate to Dale Carnegies How

to Make Friends and Influence People and also the breathing exercises that Leo teaches Tony But others kept my curiosity alive such as determining a person's state of mind,

body language, the whole eye movement thing and other areas of nonverbal communication.  The one thing I truly find fascinating was how Leo instructed Tony on to link

pleasant memories to a person.  Or even the idea of "embedded command".  If there are any books or readings that you could recommend to further my studies, that would

truly be greatly appreciated.

Dear Mr. Regan –

I just finished Evolution of a Warrior and want to thank you for a great time. You helped turn a long flight from Seattle to Boston into a short hop. I love the way you weaved in different philosophies, NLP and a great deal of humor throughout. Seeking forgiveness from the Universe has personal meaning for me, and I felt encouraged and supported in this through Tony and Leo’s story. I am curious about one thing – what would the “three books” be that Leo gave Tony to read? If you had titles in mind I would love to know what they are.

Thanks again.

Take Care,

C
