Raymond McCullough, from Co. Down, near Belfast, Northern Ireland, has been a professional writer for more than forty years. Beginning with technical articles and reports for UK magazines in 1988, he then began publication of an Irish Christian magazine, 'Bread', from 1990-96, with his first book, 'Ireland - now the good news!' in 1995 (published in Kindle edition, May 2012); co-edited by his wife, fiction author Gerry McCullough. He has also had articles published in the Irish Times, Dublin, and the Presbyterian Herald, Belfast. In 1993 he hosted a radio show, 'In tha Name a' Gawd!' on 96.7 BCR, in Belfast, which later developed into his current satellite radio show of music, news and faith-based interviews – broadcasting around the world on several satellite networks. From 1996, for seven years, he and Gerry led a cell-based Christian fellowship in the Belfast area – also producing an album of Celtic & Hebrew worship music, 'Into Jerusalem' (2005) and a Celtic pop-folk album, 'Different' (2008). In 2008, he began 'Celtic Roots Radio' – a 30-minute show of Celtic, folk, folk-rock, Breton, Galician, bluegrass, Cajun, Cape Breton, acoustic and singer/songwriter music, now broadcasting on satellite, webcast and iTunes podcast to more than 100 countries around the world – with around 18,000 downloads/month via Apple & Google Podcasts, Spotify, etc. – and syndication beginning on some FM stations. In April 2009, Raymond also set up a 24/7 'Celtic Roots Radio' web station, originally on the Live365 network (now on Shoutcast: http://celticrootsradio.fastcast4u.com), which now has a playlist of over 800 tracks, from more than 400 individual artists and bands. New music and artists are being added regularly. His 'Kingdom Come Trust' website (kingdomcome.org.uk) has hundreds of enthusiastic emails from satellite radio listeners in US, Canada and Caribbean countries. Raymond says, "They love the Irish music and culture – although the interviewees are from many parts of the world." You can listen to his radio show on Amazon devices by instructing Alexa to 'play Celtic Roots Radio – Irish podcast.' If you just want the spoken 'craic' from the show simply ask for 'Celtic Roots Craic – Irish podcast.' Raymond researched the subjects in his book, 'The Whore and her Mother', for about forty years, off and on, but the events of 9/11 brought a new focus to his research and a real sense of increasing urgency encouraged him to complete the book in just four months! Raymond recently completed production of a series of half hour broadcasts for satellite radio ('Fresh Bread: Your Kingdom Come'), based on 'The Whore and her Mother' (also available on Apple and other podcast platforms and in Audiobook format from iTunes, Amazon and Audible). He then decided to turn the events described in 'The Whore and her Mother' into an apocalyptic fiction thriller trilogy, the Six Hours series – book #1, 'In Six Hours ... the world changed' (April 2015) and book #2, 'In One Hour ... Babylon will fall' (September 2019). This was recently followed up by the non-fiction 'Arrows bible prophecy series' – 'Oh what Rapture,' 'Neighbours from Hell' and 'Facing the Beast' – which back up the 'Six Hours' fiction series from bible references. One of his next books will comprise testimonies from around the world, based on his 'In tha Name a' Gawd!' satellite radio series (also on Apple Podcasts). Raymond now has a YouTube channel with music videos and a new prophetic series starting soon.
