William Barnes was born in the United States on April 14, 1953, 41 years to the day after Titanic hit the iceberg. At the age of four, he drew a picture of a ship with four smokestacks and told his mother, "This is my ship, but she died." He insisted that his mother call him "Tommie" and he spoke of aunts, uncles and two brothers, none of whom his parents knew.

During Barnes' first regression therapy session, he broke into an Irish accent and began recounting the last two hours of Thomas Andrews' life. "The way you wanted me to build 'en She could take four compartments opened up completely. But after that, there's too much weight. She's gonna come down at the head. And all the pumps workin', maybe we got an hour, maybe two."

Past-life regression therapy is a recognized treatment for various psychological problems. Under hypnosis, a patient undergoing regression is returned to the initial cause of an event that brought on the symptoms.

At the suggestion of his therapist, Barnes wrote a book about his past life. I Built the Titanic, an audiobook which includes recordings of Barnes' actual regression sessions, answers decades-old questions about who was responsible for rejecting the proposed safeguards that could have saved Titanic and all on board and the role that politics, arrogance and greed played in sending 1500 people on a journey ... into infamy. In the tapes, Barnes, while under hypnosis, becomes Thomas Andrews and presents a first-person account of Andrews' life, from his first blueprint in the shipyard to his final breath on the sinking ship.

I Built the Titanic is available on four audio tapes for $26.00 and can be ordered from the publisher at www.edinbooks.com or from www.amazon.com.
