MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

My wife and I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Work is progressing very nicely on book two of Harmonic Wars: Children of the Guardians (CoG). We are on target to complete publishing this spring. We will be revealing the cover for CoG very shortly, and it is AWESOME! The people at 3L Publishing have hit a home run on this one. You're going to love it for sure.

I'm using Scrivener to manage the project, and it is a far cry from the numerous Word Files that I used in the past. It was so easy to lose files, and version control was difficult. Now Scrivener makes it all very easy since the entire project is under one binder. I just save and close and all my research, my notes, my outlines, my cast of characters and glossary is all saved together. Backups are a breeze because I can export the entire manuscript to Word Docs and save to my backup hard drives. I learned early on in business writing to save often and make backup copies, and it has paid off time and time again.

Here is a chart that best describes what I have left to do and about the percentage of work I have done, and what I have left to complete. This is a big project, and not many people have a good understanding of what it take to complete a project this big. Currently, I have completed 738 pages for 235,9237 words. That is down from 822 pages and over 280,000 words on the original draft. Writing for creativity is different, and you don't want to do anything to curb that creativity. Now that I'm editing, I'm making the story flow better, and working on making sure it does not drag or lose my readers. There are many characters, plots and sub plots in this book. This is also true in life. People think, dream, plan, and scheme in real life, so I wanted my series to be realistic in that manner. All of this takes time. I would rather make a good product than to rush through and have a poorly written and grossly misunderstood book.

I'm using Grammarly to help edit CoG before I send it to 3L Publishing. I've discovered how valuable it is to all my writing, so I use it for my posts and other articles as well. Here is my year end report from Grammarly:
   
"You typed up a storm this year. Nice job!
Here’s a quick summary of your activity:



PRODUCTIVITY
1,119,691 words checked
  
ACCURACY
2,709 mistakes corrected
 
PREMIUM
1,209 advanced mistakes corrected
     
Wow, what a year you’ve had. Based on our calculations we see that you had 1,119,691 words checked with Grammarly this year. Good job!
   
That’s not all. You made 2,709 corrections. That’s a rate of only 0.13% mistakes per words written. Good stuff indeed. Oh, and by the way, 1,209 of these corrections were advanced (Premium) mistakes."


Over a million words? Some people might say that just means that I won't shut up and that I just talk too much. I have to say that my percent of mistakes per words written is much better than I thought it would be! All in all, I'm very pleased.

Harmonic Wars: Guardians of the Crystal Skulls is available through Amazon, Kindle, iBooks and Nook, but you can only get it for $5 off the regular price through 3LPublishing.flyingcart.com

Going back to Midnight in the Desert!

On Monday, Oct 3, 2016, I was scheduled to be Heather Wade's guest on Midnight in the Desert. Just before the show started Heather had a full-blown Migraine and had to cancel all her shows for the week. Heather has since gotten over her migraine and is back to normal.

Now, we rescheduled the show for Oct 12, 2016, starting at 9 PM Pacific, 11 PM CST. We have a huge list of things to discuss, and all of them are related to my SciFi series Harmonic Wars. Here are some of the talking points, links, and pictures that we will discuss. We will start out the show discussing several of the paranormal events that have surrounded me while writing and promoting Harmonic Wars.

Q: What made you pick the name “Harmonic Wars”?
A: The ancient society that I created for this series had advanced knowledge of sound technology. All things in the universe vibrate, because everything is in constant motion, at least at the subatomic level. With this in mind, they understood not only about those vibrations, but also about the importance of harmonic resonance. They learned how to
control harmony and dissonance at the subatomic levels like we understand magnetism today. The north pole of a magnet attracts the south pole of another, but two north poles will repel each other. This is the basis for the Anti-Grav Suits in Harmonic Wars. It allows the user complete control off all forms of matter at the subatomic level. I believe it’s possible that the ancients used this knowledge to build many of the great structures that still survive today. They manipulated matter to cut and shape the building materials and levitated the massive stones into place. We can see early examples of scientists doing this today with sound and ping pong balls or even drops of water. Changing the frequencies has an impact of the levitated object. Check out videos of “cymatic experiments” for a greater illustration.

Q: What are “Cymatic Experiments”?
A: Cymatics is the study of the impact of sound on all forms of matter. Hertz is the measurement used that accounts for the number of sound waves in a second. The human hearing range is between 20 to 20,000 Hz. Sounds below 20 Hz are called subsonic, and this about 20,000 Hz are called ultrasonic. Humans can't hear subsonic or ultrasonic sounds, but we can feel their effects.

If you searched the internet for examples of cymatic experiments, you would see videos like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvJAgrUBF4w#t=4.965532328

The video shows sound frequencies aimed at a thin sheet of metal with salt poured on top. As the pitch increases, the salt forms intricate patterns at specific frequencies. They become so elaborate at ultrasonic frequencies that the salt is too large to make the shapes. Now look at the picture of one of Michael Tellinger's cattle kraals (pens) and compare it to the cymatic experiments. You can see similarities to the cattle kraals and precise tunings in the cymatic experiments above. Imagine the forces at play on such a massive scale, and the power to create such formations.

Of interesting note, the stones used for the cattle kraals are called "bellstone" because they are of such high quartz content that they ring like a bell when struck. How does this relate? On a guitar, both the top and bottom strings are tuned to "E." If you strike the lower note, the upper note will resonate because it is in tune. The same thing applies at a harmonic level. Additional notes in a chord will ring out when singers are in perfect tune with each other. Although you see four people singing, you can hear five notes because of harmonic resonance. All things have a resonance or vibrate. All matter is in motion at the subatomic level. Therefore all matter has a unique frequency.

Q: How does A440 tuning fit in with all this? Do you think it has an impact on society?
A: Ray Hughes has an excellent explanation of sound in general on YouTube. The term A440 means that there are 440 waves per second, meaning that your ear drum will vibrate 440 times per second so that you can hear that particular sound. The higher the pitch, the greater the number of hertz or beats/waves per second. Check out the video for nothing more than the visual effect:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qV7c6KcYrc

See how light and sound aligns differently to different frequencies. It shows the reflection of light on the water that has different frequencies directed at the water. In our past, orchestras tuned their instruments to A432 Hz, but a movement was started by one country to push all countries into A440 Hz tuning. When you see the video mentioned above, it will show the difference of how A432 Hz makes a beautiful design reflected in the water, but when you raise the frequency to 440 Hz, the design loses all form and become chaotic. The sound is also much different. Songs tuned to A432 Hz have a more melodious and warm sound, whereas at A440 they become harsh, almost tense. The country pushing this thought it was paramount that all countries migrated to A440. A delegate was sent to persuade the British Institute of Standards who successfully got an agreement to start the migration in 1939. He was from Germany, and his name was Joseph Goebbels. Conspiracy theory has it that this ushered in the beginning of the New World Order, as A440 tuning is inherently out of sync with the “divine music of the universe.” It causes tension, while A432 Hz promotes harmony. I don’t like most conspiracy theories, but just the fact that the Nazi’s wanted to do this is enough for me to question the purpose of A440 tuning.

Here are the different frequencies when tuning a guitar. Note how the frequency for each string becomes a whole number:


The frequencies are now numerically aligned. Most people will not hear the difference unless they hear it side by side, but you will certainly feel the difference. To hear a comparison, can check out YouTube for Douglas Kinnear for an example.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTyzR8N4DwU


Q: How does the Great Pyramid fit in with any of this?
A: That is the question! The properties of the Great Pyramid include a great sound resonation capability. I believe Chris Dunn has theorized that the Grand Gallery once contained giant Helmholtz
Resonators. The best example of these are the effects created by blowing over the top of a bottle. If you fill same size bottles with water to different levels, you get different tones from each. Helmholtz resonators are brass balls of various sizes that accomplish the same effect.

The acoustics inside all the ancient pyramids are said to be amazing. There is evidence that the subterranean chambers of the Great Pyramid may have been impacted by a rhythmic thumping made from water pumped through the pyramid. Reconstruction of these passageways reveals that it could have functioned as a “ram pump” that continually pumped water without the needs of a mechanical device. This would have created enormous vibrations.

The air displaced through the vents and chambers could have blown across the Helmholtz resonators to create a type of sound energy that was channeled upwards through the massive granite blocks set above the King’s Chamber and through the missing capstone. Many believe the capstone to be a completion of the general pyramid shape. I think it likely could have resembled a Tesla coil, and would have been more of a sphere than a pyramid shape. Now, think of my previous example of guitar strings. What would have reverberated harmonically to the vibrations of the Great Pyramid when it was operating? Was it the perfectly tuned solid granite obelisks? Was it Michael Tellinger’s cattle kraals in South Africa? More importantly, why did it stop?


An interesting side fact on the cattle kraals, these stone walls were 8-12 feet tall and had no openings. How did the cattle get in or out? They are also filled with various levels of sediment from some great flooding event. Imagine that! ;-)

Q: Have you found any other places with specific resonance?
A: Yes, very much so. Our moon is in a rotationally locked orbit, where the same side always faces our planet. Scientists claim this is a natural occurrence, but think of the forces at play to ensure that the moon spins at exactly the needed speed in relation to its orbit around Earth. Now complicate that by making the orbit elliptical. But why do Scientists think this is naturally occurring? Because this has happened again in our solar system. The Galilean moons that orbit around Jupiter also are rotationally locked, but there’s more. Io, Europa, and Ganymede are also locked in a 4:2:1 orbit that is called a Laplace Resonance (is a three-body resonance with a 1:2:4 orbital period ratio, equivalent to a 4:2:1 ratio of orbits). For every four times Io orbits Jupiter, Europa orbits twice while Ganymede orbits once. Watching the orbits from high above the North pole, you can see that the moons align mostly at the 6, or 12 o’clock positions. Io is always in conjunction with Europa at the 12 o’clock position, while Europa is always in conjunction with Ganymede at the 6 o’clock position. There are minor conjunctions between Io and Ganymede close to the 4 and 8 o’clock positions, but not precisely. What are the odds of ALL of those alignments to include being rotationally locked into orbit so that the same face always faces Jupiter’s surface? This make me wonder what type of energies that this perpetual planetary motion would create on the surface of this gas giant? There should be more research on this to determine if this is significant, but for now, it is an oddity that I use in Harmonic Wars as the power generator for a massive space portal. It draws on the Unlimited natural energy created and driven by the perpetual motion impacting the surface of Jupiter. You can see a visual of this on Wikipedia at:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_resonance#Laplace_resonance

Q: What are your thoughts on all the recent conspiracy theories about Planet X or Nibiru?
A: I think Nibiru was likely a planet that once existed, but can now be found in the asteroid field between Jupiter and Mars. The idea of a 3200-year orbit is too much for me to accept at this time and with the amount of understanding that we have in our solar system. It would take a tremendous force to turn Nibiru back around at the 1600 year mark to begin it’s journey back to our sun. I didn’t say it was not possible, but I just don’t find it credible at this time. I do see the idea of it being a brown dwarf with a couple of planets orbiting around it as more feasible. The “Goldie Locks Zone” would have to be incredibly close, though.

But I have used this too in Harmonic Wars. The opening scene is a flashback over 10,000 years ago to a horrific battle in progress. The Warrior Guild attacked the colony on present day Earth, and they were driven back by the Science Guild and the remaining armed forces led by the main character Shihan Marcus Kahn. As the Warrior Guild forces are retreating, they destroy the settlement on the planet Mars, killing millions of people. Shihan Kahn and his forces strike back and crash one of the planetoid carriers called “Ark II” into Nibiru, completely destroying the entire planet. It was a desperation move, but it prevented the annihilation of the remaining forces on Earth. The tremendous explosion destroyed much of the atmosphere on Mars, killing the rest of the colonists there. Pieces of Nibiru created many of the rings that now surround Saturn. The remaining forces of the Warrior Guild evacuated to the Saturn moon of Titan.

I chose Titan because it has massive amounts of liquid methane and ethane could be used for energy. The presence of liquid methane would likely prohibit the use of our rocket type propulsions systems. I can see using a “Space-Loop” launching system that would use the natural rotation of Titan in conjunction with an electromagnetic propulsion system in a series of loops to take advantage of gravity as well. It would be similar to our rail gun or levitated high-speed train technology.

Q: Are there other references to what we perceive as “natural” in space or on Earth that seem out of place to you?
A: I would say that you could see some fantastic possibilities if we changed the Prime Meridian from Greenwich Great Britain to the location of the Great Pyramid at the 31st Longitude line. This aligns several places, most notably the Mississippi Delta, the Yangtze Delta and the Nile Delta. The interesting part is that pyramids can be found close to all these river valleys. Each delta dumps out into the ocean close to the 30 degrees north Latitude. If you change the 31st Longitude line to “0” the 89th Longitude become the 120th (Mississippi) and the 121st becomes the 90th (Yangtze). Makes me wonder what is natural and what is man-made! Now drop down from the Great Pyramid to the Equator, and Lake Victoria is now the "Belly Button" of the world at 0-0. I believe if we did more archeological digs there, we would soon discover that this was the cradle of civilization, and not modern day Iraq. Check out Will Hart for some great information on this.

Q: You have hidden many things in your book. What are some of this things?
A: Well, for one I put careful planning into the names of the characters. For the Guardians, I had to pick Hispanic/Mayan names that matched with the culture. The Mayan King Ukit Took at the beginning of Guardians is the actual name of the last known king of the Mayan culture, at least in my research. I couldn’t find much about any wives he may have had, so I made Ana the Queen since I was already committed to that name. However, I wanted the name to have more of a royalty feel to it, so I created the maiden name “Ana’ka Tua’agar.” By adding the surname “de Took,” it’s supposed to mean she now is married to the “Took” family. I only refer to Ana’s full name once at the beginning, then after Chapter 5 she dropped the formal name and adopted just Ana. For those who have problems with any other pronunciations, go check out the glossary at the back. I spent lots of time making sure to include a comprehensive glossary that is organized topically to make things easy to find.

Q: How were already committed to the name Ana?
A: Harmonic Wars is a series of books, and “Guardians of the Crystal Skulls” (GoCS)
is the second book in this series that I wrote. My first try at this storyline was “Children of the Guardians,” which will now be released as the second book in this series to keep things in chronological order. When I wrote “Children” I placed no limits on myself. In doing so, it greatly helped my creativity, but the book was huge. When we got to somewhere around page 1,000, my publisher Michelle Gamble at 3L Publishing said “Time Out!” She cautioned me on the tremendous hurdles I would have to overcome in marketing and selling a book that large. So the best thing I could do to introduce the storyline was to write a prequel. And so, GoCS was born. For the ancient races, I decided to pick names that aligned to ancient Greek mythology that included the Titans and many of the Greek gods. In Genesis there is a reference to the Nephilim, and that they were “men of renown” or legend. Since there are so many references in Greek, Roman and even the Norse gods that were very similar it seemed like a cool thing to do. So the leader of the evil Warrior Guild was Admiral Ares, modeled after Ares, the god of war. The ships that carried the Warrior Guild were named after the Titans. I named our planet “Typhon” which in Greek mythology was the child of “Gaia” or Earth. It seemed fitting since the series is set on the idea that this is not Biblical Earth, but a colony. I also made sure that all numbers referenced in the book were multiples of 3, 7 or 13.

Q: I get the Biblical reference to the numbers 3 and 7, but why 13? Isn’t that unlucky?
A: Actually, I found the number 13 repeated and maintained in the most critical of ways in the Bible. We all know there were 12 Apostles, but the number of the leading group was 13 when you included Jesus. After His crucifixion, Judas hung himself leaving 11 in the main group. The Apostles agreed to maintain the number that Jesus had set and they chose Mathias to replace Judas. Jesus brought Paul forward to become one of the greatest Apostles. It's vitally important that Paul’s letters make up the majority of the New Testament. As we discussed in our last interview, there were also originally 13 Zodiacs.

Q: What was your motivation for writing this book?
A: I was watching a documentary of the Great Pyramid of Giza, and I was blown away by the high level of engineering that was used in its creation. Then, as I began to research more about the Great Pyramid, I found that the narrative of traditional historians and archeologists quickly began to fall apart when looked at from a practicality aspect. The Great Pyramid is made from some 2.3 million stones weighing anywhere from 2-70 tons each, all cut with copper chisels. That’s like using a plastic knife on a redwood. Yes, you can probably do it, but human ingenuity will take over very shortly, and a better way will be found. Also, they claim that it took 100,000 people roughly 20 years to complete the structure. That means a stone had to be cut, transported and placed about every 2 minutes. Some of the larger granite blocks weigh 70 tons and were brought across the desert from the Aswan quarry some 500 miles away…manually. Wheels of that time were only designed for chariots and could not take the weight of even the smaller 2-ton blocks, so how did they move them? That’s an incredible amount of work to put a dead guy inside. At what point does human nature take over and say “That’s good enough for government work”?

The last and most important detail is that the Egyptians of the 4th dynasty built the Great Pyramid, and its perfection was never matched. In fact, many of the pyramids built by the 9th dynasty are falling apart, but not the Great Pyramid. Did they just forget how? That seems unlikely based on how human nature works. People learn how to do things, then improve on them, so that the later models are nearly always better than the previous one. That’s almost how it worked with the automobile industry, except for the cars of the 80’s.

Q: Is this where you got the idea for the Pyraportals?
A: Yes, but only when I looked at the work that Nikola Tesla did on the Wardenclyffe tower. Tesla routinely was able to illuminate light bulbs from miles away WITHOUT any wires by transmitting the electricity through the ground or the air. Our ancestors would not build a structure like the Great Pyramid to such exacting tolerances some of which were down to .001 of an inch just to bury a dead guy inside. But they might do it to recreate a machine or a once lost power source. Those who understand the advantage of an electrical society would work very hard to recreate it. So in this series, the pyramids were power plants that generated vast amounts of energy naturally from the earth. It could discharge that power through the sphere that was used as a capstone, for either a weapon or to power a worldwide wireless grid. In Harmonic Wars inside the “King’s Chamber” there was a crystal altar that served as a portal capability that was disrupted at the beginning of the war. The picture below is from the famed "Gates of Paradise" by sculptor Lorenzo Ghiberti, on the Baptistery of San Giovanni, depicting a different scene from the Bible. The
scene in this panel is Noah’s Ark, which confusingly enough is represented by a pyramid.

Note that Ghiberti was very detail oriented to make sure all animals and people were correctly represented and proportional. See the lion, the elephant and other animals surrounding the base of the pyramid beside the people. The details leave nothing to the imagination. Now look at the top left of the pyramid, and you can clearly see birds flying, but not all of those things coming out of the top of the pyramid are the same. Some are very clearly NOT birds. The upper right side shows a being in the clouds. Historians said that was God, but note the swirling connecting line from the cloud to the top of the pyramid. There is also a strange looking being laying at the feet of the people exiting the pyramid door.

In Genesis, God is very specific with the instructions to Noah about building the Ark. It mentions nothing about a solid structure shaped like a pyramid. Scientists have already studied these instructions and recreated a model that outperformed their expectations in tests. So what else could this be?

In my opinion, this is NOT the Ark, but is much more likely the Tower of Babel, as described in Genesis Chapter 11. What was it they had built that concerned an all powerful God so much that He had to intervene to stop them? Could this have been some type of ancient portal technology?

Q: How can a highly advanced society disappear from existence without any trace?
A: That’s the easy part, and could happen so very quickly even today. How many structures have we built in the last 50 years that would survive 200 years without a massive amount of maintenance? None. In fact, we have not built anything that would last for even 100 years, much less thousands of year. If there was one well placed electro-magnetic pulse weapon placed in the U.S. by a terrorist organization it could take down the entire power grid. It wouldn’t stay down permanently, but the chaos it would create would be devastating. It might take years to recover fully. Look at the recent riots in Baltimore, Oakland, and Ferguson. Look what happened in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. Imagine what would happen to an entire nation without electricity. Gas pumps stop, water pumps stop, so food and water become non-existent and there will be no help for the short term since the infrastructure and supply chain will no longer be operable. Most citizens only have enough food to last a week, if not a couple of days. But they do not have a stocked supply of water. As citizens become thirsty, things become desperate very quickly.

Now, go one step beyond that, and make the attack a coordinated “Al Qaeda” style attack on all continents. Or better yet, a super-massive solar flare could take out all the power grids worldwide. It has happened before and will happen again. As ordinary citizens struggle for survival, people will very soon forget about the luxuries we now take for granted. Those type of things would be talked about as a memory of the “good ole days” as grandparents tell their grandchildren fabulous tales about electricity, clean running water, indoor plumbing, and the all-knowing god Google.

Q: Certainly we would have remnants of that former society long after the governments fell?
A: Sadly, I don’t think so at all. How much do you know how to do, or do you just look up everything on the internet? Most people don’t have to remember how to do things because the information is so accessible. We don’t even print it up. We save it to the cloud along with all our pictures from our phones. Many bookstores have folded with the advent of the e-books. Newspapers and magazines are all heading virtually as most people don’t want hard copies anymore. Do you know how to make soap? When to plant certain crops for the different zones? Do you even know the planting zone where you live? Certainly, some know these things, but not everyone by far. How about cement? Can you reload ammunition for your gun, or make gunpowder? Can you make repairs to your car? Can you manufacture the parts you need? Even the simplest of things become impossible to make like paper. The more abilities we lose, the harder it will be for us to be able to maintain our existing structures, much less be able to access our histories.

There would be pockets of civilization that would continue, but eventually, they would retreat to the safety hidden fortresses so that they did not have to share their hoarded wealth with the commoners who had all but forgotten about the excesses of the past as they struggled for survival on a daily basis. I believe it would only take two generations to forget where we once were. We are but a couple of generations from WWII, and yet even now we’re having debates on whether or not the holocaust happened. It’s sad, but true.

Q: What about the theories of ancient aliens building the Great Pyramid and some of the other structures around the world?
A: I’m willing to consider it as a possibility, but only one of many since there are so many unanswered questions about our past. It is harder for me to accept ancient aliens than to accept the fact that our ancestors may very well have been more advanced than we are even today. Look at how far we have advanced from 1900-2000. We went from a horse and buggy society to landing a man on the moon and ships on other planets. In the last 50 years we went from a society that barely had color televisions, certainly not even a TV in each house, to handheld smartphones in nearly everyone’s hands with more raw computing power than the most advanced computers in the 50’s and 60’s, the size of which would fill a room and still not be nearly as powerful as we now carelessly throw around daily. But most historians and archeologists would have you believe that in the last 12,000 years humanity has never been this advanced before? I find that much harder to believe, considering the advancements of the last 50 years alone.

Have you ever played “Pass It On” in school? The teacher gets the entire class into a circle and tells a secret to the child beside her and instructs the students to whisper the secret to the person next to them, and so on. By the time the secret passes through 30 students a mere 10 minutes later, it is unrecognizable from the original words whispered. This was how our history was passed down for thousands of years. Imagine how much things would have changed over 4,500 years much less 12,000 or more.

Q: Why Crystal Skulls?
A: In Harmonic Wars, I used crystal artifacts as an underlying theme throughout the series. The Legend of the 13 Crystal Skulls fit perfectly. There are several crystal skulls that are currently in existence who's quality is considered good enough to be one of these fabled skulls. One is in the Smithsonian, in spite of the fact that this legend has largely been debunked. But since Harmonic Wars is Science Fiction, I had no problem including it. The properties of quartz are undeniable, as they are used in a broad array of electronics today. Could this have been the case in the past? What are the properties? It has a consistent frequency and is used in timepieces. Quartz has incredible data saving features as scientists have developed disks the size of a half dollar that can hold over 300 terabytes of data at normal living conditions without degradation, literally forever. Stones with a high quartz content like granite can also chime when struck.

Pyramids, along with many of the ancient structures around the world, used large stones of high quartz content. I doubt that they were used for their data saving properties, or as time pieces. But what about sound? I envision that the pyramids themselves were never burial chambers for the Egyptian Pharaoh who was considered their god. The Egyptians would have never buried their god in a tomb that had no religious writings whatsoever.

We know that the construction of the pyramids in Giza used a different type of limestone for the casing. It was a highly polished limestone that some have said had almost no quartz at all. Could it have acted as an insulator? The sarcophagus they found for King Tutankhamen consisted of no less than nine beautifully decorated boxes. And yet the sarcophagus inside the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid is a solid piece of hollowed out granite that is rough-hewn on the outside. Stark contrast to King Tut's burial chamber.

I believe that form follows function. Chris Dunn and other engineers have studied the general construction of the pyramid and determined that it's feasible to assume that it could be a generator of some type. Sound, water, and resonating chambers are used in conjunction to create a wireless energy source. These are many of the same concepts that Tesla used to persuade investors to build the Wardenclyffe Tower that was never completed.

Q: How many books will be in this series?
A: I have four books planned, which I hope to release one every year. I have ideas for at least two more trilogies after I complete these four.

Q: How is this a multidimensional war?
A: I spent lots of time thinking this out, in true SciFi fashion. I envisioned that there were thousands of dimensions with infinite possibilities. That allowed me to bring the war between good and evil to multiple dimensions, making us all pawns in a much larger ongoing battle.

In this figure, you can clearly see that some of the dimensions belong wholly to the “Realm of Light” or to the “Realm of the Dark.” Likewise, there are
many dimensions that are not entirely decided for the Light or the Dark, but they’re leaning in one direction or another. The contested dimensions are balanced and struggling to go to the Light or to the Dark. These contested dimensions are where the battles between the Light and the Dark are the fiercest. We live in the “Isle of Man” which happens to be one of several thousand dimensions that are contested, but we’re beginning to lean to the Dark.

Q: What happens to a dimension that goes to the Dark?
A: The Creator takes those who still stand for the Light, then He lets the rest fall. This is a race to see who collects more souls. Currently, the Light has more souls. The Isle of Man has a huge number of souls, and the Dark wants control of this dimension desperately. If the Dark gains control then he will be close to tipping the scales in his favor, then all will fall under the control of the Dark. Evil will rule, or so they think.

Q: What about this “Land of Dreams?"
A: Again, another flight of fantasy. I had 13 characters who were Guardians of the Crystal Skulls, so I had to make them awesome. I thought the ability to be a Dream Walker would be cool. I placed the Land of Dreams as a realm of its own that permeated all of the dimensions and could be accessed by anyone. When people have nightmares about monsters, maybe they were interacting with beings from another dimension? It seemed like a cool added layer. Then I made it so that Dream Walkers could access it at will, and I gave it two sides. Dream Walkers could use it to manipulate the active dreams of people sleeping and to gain information and push people to do things through the power of suggestion. But they could also walk in a dreamy haze that is more or less parallel to the waking world, but invisible to them. In theory, a Dream Walker could be standing beside you in the Land of Dreams spying on you. I think that’s cool!

Q: What are Anti-Grav Suits?
A: What if you had absolute control of all matter at a subatomic level out to about a 50-yard circumference? You could feasibly burst things into flame or freeze them by speeding up or slowing the movement of the electrons. At least in my story you can! The Anti-Grav Suits are designed specifically for descendants of the Balsarius to keep them from the hands of the sworn enemy, the G`Alad. In theory, a person wearing an Anti-Grav Suit could also make new forms of matter, or change items from a solid, to a liquid or even to gas and back again. Remember that the humans in this ancient society also had mastery of frequency and harmonic resonance. So they could also use the Anti-Grav Suit to levitate objects, including themselves. All of the Guardians wear Anti-Grav Suits, as does the Elder of the Warrior Guild for the peaceful Balsarius, the Shihan Marcus Kahn.

Q: How is the empathic nature of the Guardians significant?
A: They cannot only sense emotions in others, but they can project emotions into other people. Can you imagine how devastating it would be to push emotions out to overwhelm your opponent? Sending wave after wave of gripping fear into them just as they begin an attack? Or doubt? Confusion? All of these things could help to falter a charge on the battlefield. Additionally, the Guardians can project nothingness so complete that it would leave their enemy standing there senseless like a drooling idiot. When you add this to their abilities with the Anti-Grav Suits, they become formidable soldiers.

Q: Is this a religious book?
A: No, it is a SciFi book. Neither will it be part of your reference library from a science standpoint…it’s a SciFi book, but there are facts associated throughout. Just as the good characters in this book do and say good things, the evil characters do and say evil, even shocking things. It is designed to make a person think about the possibilities.

Q: The story is about absolute good vs. absolute evil for control of the universe. What role models did you use for good and evil?
A: I could not find better role models than angels and demons. And the angels I describe are awesome warriors as I envision God intended. Remember that the angels are God’s army. Likewise, the demons are wicked looking.

Opening Scene for Children of the Guardians - Destruction of Nibiru!

I want to share with you the opening scene in Children of the Guardians, which is Book Two in the Harmonic Wars series. I like the use of "Flashbacks" to tell the story, and in the first scene of the Prologue I do just that. Here's the set up:
In my SciFi series Harmonic Wars I describe an ongoing war between the Balsarius and Masu`ri against the G'Alad based Warrior Guild. All of these human races settled in this solar system over 12,000 years ago. These human races all originated from a Biblical Earth from the other side of the galaxy. When space travel became possible, they settled on new homeworlds as people had outgrown the resources on Biblical Earth. In time, these human races began to drift apart and developed different values, but still needed resources to support the growing populations. They discovered a rich new solar system that was uninhabited, so they sent Deep Space Exploration ships (DSEs) to begin the colonization. Since it took many thousands of years to make the journey, the majority of the ships crews were placed into stasis. Skeleton crews rotated out of stasis to monitor and maintain the ships on their journey. When they finally arrived at the new solar system, the quickly colonized the planets and constructed portals back to their homeworlds. These "Pyraportals" used the natural energies of the planets for a variety of capabilities. They created energy, provided planetary defenses, and at the center of the pyramid structure was a small portal system.
After the races had made initial contact with their homeworlds, they enjoyed the continued flow of aid to and from their homeworlds. New technologies spilled into the colony as a massive space portal was constructed to bring the planet-based Arks through the portal. This giant space portal took just over a thousand years to create. In the meantime, the relationships between the races deteriorated as the objectives of each began to compete against the others. The Harmonic War began with the destruction of this space portal by the G`Alad when they discovered that the third Ark to make the journey would not bring more forces to the mighty Warrior Guild. Knowing that they would soon be outnumbered in the new solar system, they attacked the other races, both in the new solar system and at the homeworlds. 
This war was fought to a standstill 10,000 years before the Guardians of the Crystal Skulls. The planets of Typhon, Martius, and Nibiru were changed forever. We know these planets as Earth, Mars and what was once Nibiru is now the asteroid field between Mars and Jupiter, at least in my SciFi book! The scene you are about to read shows the results of that last battle, and is the beginning of our story:


“Evacuate, evacuate!” the voice screamed over the PA system in the ship hanger. “Load all command ships and launch immediately! This is not a drill.”
   People rushed to the ships as the giant globe of Ark II loomed in the sky above. The planet shuddered as the gravitational forces pulled at the tectonic plates of the mostly crystal world. The command crews of the last warships had already been loaded and were busy prepping for take-off as the remaining soldiers, scientists, maintenance workers and then family members boarded in that order. They quickly moved as they knew that failure to board was a certain death sentence.
   “Ark II, please respond,” Major Blane pleaded. “You’re on a collision course and must change immediately!”
   “There’s no response, Major,” Vice Admiral Hektor replied. The powerfully built man had a determined look on his darkly tanned face. “They’re approaching the point of no return. We must assume that the Balsarius killed the Command Crew of Ark II and put the ship on a crash course with us. Continue the evacuation from the Command Module aboard the Theia.”
   “Admiral, we only have 12 hours before Ark II slams into us. Any ship not off-world in 10 hours won't escape the blast zone. We can't get the entire colony out of here in time,” Blane answered desperately.
   “Admiral Ares is well aware of that. Keep pushing them and get those transport ships off the ground,” Hektor replied grimly.
   As each ship reached its capacity, they departed for the safety of space. But as the ships left the remaining colonists became more and more frantic to board. Chaos soon took over until the heavy hand of the Warrior Guild took over. Gunfire erupted into the growing mob as a spray of bullets murdered the scared civilians. The remaining transports departed half filled as the angry mob of frightened civilians descended upon the loading docks. Unspeakable atrocities began as the realization of certain death settled on the stranded citizens. Ares watched the display from the comfort of his command ship the Argus, as the last transport departed 30 minutes early.
   “Vice Admiral Hektor, did we meet our baseline objectives?” Ares asked over the Vidlink between the two ships.
   “Aye Sir,” Hektor replied from the Theia with a stern look on his face. “We evacuated all the warriors and their gear, a five year supply of food and materials and enough engineers and maintenance workers to make needed repairs on the Warships. The last 10 transport ships were all civilians.”
   “Do we have an estimate of civilian casualties?” Ares asked.
   “We left behind nearly seven million men, women, and children.”
   Ares swore, “The Balsarius will pay for this.”
   “Should we attempt an assault on Martius or Typhon?”
   “Negative. Martius will never survive the blast, and Typhon may still be too close. Send the fleet to Titan. Hopefully, it will be far enough away to escape the majority of the damage. I sent Captain Linus ahead to secure the abandoned colony there. I believe the Balsarius and Masu`ri both still have contingents of scientists. I’m sure we can change their loyalty to our cause,” Ares said with a sick smile. “Execute!”
   “Aye-aye, Sir,” Hektor replied and nodded before the Vidlink ended.

   Hours later a tremendous explosion rocked the small solar system as Nibiru, the fifth planet from the sun, was obliterated by the massive migration ship, the Ark II. The explosion was so intense that the fourth planet Martius was caught in the blast as debris rained down so violently that it all but blew the atmosphere into space, destroying the millions of people stranded there. Even the third planet, Typhon did not escape the damage, though it would survive.
   The G`Alad-based Warrior Guild had lost the battle, and their remaining forces were now in full retreat from the colonists. Admiral Ares was the last remaining tie to the vision of glory given to him as his real mission on this voyage. He had not overestimated his opponents, but his commanders certainly had done so. At least he had been able to send off one last message before they were cut off from home. With the Space Portal destroyed and no way of being able to determine the solar system’s new harmonic frequencies, it was impossible to reopen them to bring reinforcements. Any reinforcements would have to travel here from the other side of the galaxy, and that would take thousands of years, but at least they were on their way. The remaining forces here were at a standoff from a weapons’ standpoint. The Warrior Guild could not attack Typhon and survive, but at least they had destroyed the Balsarius’ mobility without hope of being able to rebuild or repair. However, the cost had been tremendous. Now they had to rebuild what they could.
   Ares sat at his desk and planned the campaign with his Political Advisor Commander Menelaos that his remaining forces would have to execute over the next several centuries as they waited for reinforcements. At least he had youth on his side, and with the use of the stasis pods and the Klah weapons, he could prolong his life span over the centuries. As Ares thought about his Klah weapons, he heard Klaxon’s song. The voices of Klaxon were always there in his head, but they sang a little louder whenever Ares thought about them. Now Klaxon seemed irritated at his reluctance to act sooner. He had never failed at a mission, and he only considered this a setback. It was a serious setback, but he could still turn this in his favor and claim victory in the end. Their lack of accurate intelligence on the advancements in the colonists’ weaponry had been the one thing they could not overcome. Well, that and the colonists’ resolve against being overrun. He had to admit their plan was an uncharacteristic move that caught them all off guard. Now, he would have to rely on subterfuge and espionage. He was much better at that than his opponents were, so it was only a matter of time and for now.
   He was confident that the Balsarius had also been able to get a message off to their home world, too. That meant that they expected reinforcements as well. Now, his mission was to upset the balance of power before any forces arrived for either side. This would be a challenge, and he loved a challenge. His superiors in the G’Alad ruling council had made it clear in their last Pyraportal transmission, that failure would be his “undoing”. Being G’Alad had its rewards, but it certainly had its downside as well. Inability to meet an objective could mean either the end of his career or the end of his life – and that had a tendency to motivate people.
   Klaxon sang loudly now as images formed in Ares’ mind. They needed a different approach. Images flowed freely into his thoughts as the plan developed. This was going to take a long time, but the promise of success was very compelling.

Excerpt from Harmonic Wars Book Two: Dimensional Warriors

Greetings friends!
   I'm working hard on Dimensional Warriors which is scheduled to be out in the Spring of 2017. For now, let me share this small segment. Guardians of the Crystal Skulls began in the early 1400s and continued through the mid-1800s. Dimensional Warriors continues the conflict between Ana and her grandson Arturo as they fight for control of Earth in our near future. Just as the Guardians were essential in Book One, these three characters will be important throughout the rest of this four-book series.

As a reminder, Book One: Guardians of the Crystal Skulls tells the story of how Ana and Arturo became mortal enemies. Guardians is now available on Amazon, Kindle, Nook and iBooks, but we have it discounted for $5 off the regular price only through 3LPublishing.flyingcart.com

Enjoy...more to come!

   Mahmoud Nasser watched Donald Frey as he talked to Dr. Khalid Abbas over dinner. Most people took little notice of a waiter, but the American was always diligent in his efforts to hide his purpose. It even appeared that he had an electronic scrambler that interfered with the bug he had planted on Khalid. It was hard to maintain the appearance of busing tables while trying to determine what a G`Alad agent wanted with this innocent man. Nasser was the best spy that the Masu`ri had, and he was going to find out the intent. For many years, the G`Alad had focused on the search for the lost Pyraportal and its inhabitants, and ignored the most obvious organization that the Egyptian Government protected. The Masu`ri identified what Arturo and the G`Alad were up to in the United States and were quick to block any attempts inside their country.
   Nasser was a modern Egyptian recruited by the Masu`ri early in his career in the Intelligence Community. His ability to gather valuable facts undercover had helped the Egyptians discover several political plots by terrorist organizations to gain control of the main public offices. He had long since left the Egyptian government and was now fully employed by the Masu`ri, who paid much better. Nasser was in his early 30’s, with thick, wavy dark brown hair, brown eyes, and naturally tanned skin. To the average citizen, he was pretty much nondescript, making him ideally suited to intelligence gathering. He intently listened as he continued to clear the dishes away from the table across the room.
   Don was a good listener to Khalid who eagerly talked about his findings on the Great Pyramid of Giza and other notable relics around the world that might be somehow connected. As the hours passed by through dinner and followed by strong Turkish coffee, Don finally came around to turning the tide of the conversation.

   “Khalid, we like your research. It’s remarkable, but we feel that the Egyptian government won’t let any additional experimentations resume on the Great Pyramid itself. Wouldn’t you agree?” Don asked.
   “I have asked several times in the past, but my requests were all rejected almost immediately,” Khalid said. “This time, I have proof that linkages exist to other locations around the world and can prove it without having to alter the pyramid dramatically. I have developed a working model of a hydrogen power plant that is 1/100th the size of the Great Pyramid. If we can temporarily rebuild the capstone, I believe it’s possible to restart the world power grid from the Giza Pyramid. If we’re not permitted to do this, then I believe we can access one of the magnetic conjunction points on another continent and send energy to the Great Pyramid of Giza.”
   “Did you have an alternate location in mind?” Don asked.
   “Yes,” Khalid replied. “The Sand Sea, near the Gilf Kebir Plateau, in Libya. It’s the location of what I believe to be an ancient nuclear blast site as is evident by the vast quantities of so-called ‘dessert glass.' An alternative site would be the Indus River Valley, but reportedly that location still has high radioactive levels.”
   Don smiled and said, “We’ll gladly fund your research giving you full credit for your discoveries, but we’ll control of the findings.”
   “Do you represent the United States in this matter, or is this a private organization?” Khalid asked.
   “My benefactors wish to remain anonymous at this time,” Don answered. “Why? Does it really matter to you?”
   “Actually, it does to some extent,” Khalid replied. “The costs associated with this research may be prohibitive for a private organization. Unless you can put up $500 million per year for the next five years, I’m afraid we are wasting each other’s time.”
   “Okay. Will you accept a check?” Don asked with a straight face.

   Nasser had enough to report now as Khalid’s eyes light up with anticipation. He hated to set things into motion that would dash the hopes of an otherwise brilliant man, but it was all for the greater good. Nasser walked back to the kitchen with the tub full of dirty dishes and walked out of the kitchen. He heard the owner yell for him to return or be fired, but Nasser just continued. Nasser drove back to his villa and entered through the garage. As he walked to his hidden office in the basement, he immediately approached the Hololink to report.
   As the gray mists faded away in the dark basement office, the face of Commandant Florian Hertzog came into focus. The blonde hair, blue-eyed man looked intently at Nasser.
   “Ah, Agent Nasser. How’re things in Egypt?” Florian asked.
   “Commandant, there has been some direct contact with Dr. Khalid Abbas by Donald Frey,” Nasser reported in his thick Egyptian accent. “Frey offered to fund all his the research.”
   “Do you have any indication that our dear Mr. Frey has contacted the G`Alad in Egypt?” Florian asked.
   “No, sir. He came from the airport directly to Dr. Abbas’ lecture and was able to sit down and have dinner with him. They talked at length about his plans to prove that a World Power Grid once existed with the Great Pyramid of Giza providing energy.”
   “Interesting,” Florian frowned. “The Director of Antiquities won’t permit it, of that I’m certain.”
   “They plan to run the test either in the Libyan desert or the Indus River Valley,” Nasser explained.
   “They said any involvement at the pyramid would be minimal.”
    “Okay, that’s significant,” Florian said rather urgently. “Find a way to delay the good Dr. Abbas until I can get there with some help. I’ll contact you there tomorrow.”
   “What would you have me do?” Nasser asked. “Kidnap him?”
   “Not a bad idea,” Florian smiled. “I like the way you think! I have a couple of phone calls to make and then Hololink with my colleagues to update them on your findings. You kidnap him, and then we’ll come in to rescue him!”
   “Sir? I’m not an agent; I just gather information,”  Nasser said. “Kidnapping seems extreme … I thought we were the good guys here?”
   “Oh, we are,” Florian said. “But if we don’t do something decisive like this, what the G`Alad will do will be much worse. This is an emergency, and you’re the only one I trust with this. I’ll triple your regular fees. Stay with him and make sure you update me the second anything changes. You have no boundaries on this, do you understand?”
   “I understand triple my fees and no boundaries, but does that also mean no retribution? And can I get that in writing?” Nasser asked.
   “Yes, I’ll send you something. Get back there and don’t let anything happen to Abbas!”
The gray mist faded as the Commandant severed the link. Nasser was glad that he had the forethought to put a tracer on Khalid as well as the bug. As long as Khalid was not right beside the American, he should be able to track his movements. Nasser retrieved his Uplink and initiated the tracking software. Khalid was alone in his hotel suite, and as far as Nasser could tell. Khalid was very unsuccessfully singing along with the music station on the TV. Nobody who sings that bad will do it in front of someone else! Something was not right about Khalid trying to sing Country and Western music with his thick Egyptian accent.
   Nasser loaded a black duffle bag into his car and hurried back to the hotel. He would have to sneak back in and had to wait until he could take someone’s place, which could mean another kidnapping. This was getting more expensive. Nasser typically just gathered information, but that didn’t mean he lacked the skills for other things.

*     *     *

   Sam Nimo, the desk clerk, walked and grumbled about having to dump out the trash for the office manager. He was happy to have a job, but he hated his station in life. He worked and lived in a foreign country that looked down on people like himself. His family in the Philippines was destitute, and there were no jobs there. Sam worked as slave labor at the whim of his boss, who kept him and the others under his thumb at all times. The company drove them to and from work, and he shared the small two-room apartment with six other guys in his same status.
   Sam was 5’5” tall, with short dark hair and a warm smile. He was very fit and worked out every day. He was so proud of his washboard abs and enjoyed the Kempo classes he took. It was his one and only luxury that he was permitted, and it helped him to make it through the long days at work.
Like his roommates, Sam sent the majority of his money home to take care of his parents, brothers, and sisters. He was not married, but he had several girlfriends back home. Oh, how he missed them! Sam thought about how much he missed his family and friends when he felt a strong hand cover his mouth, and the needle stick him in the neck. Sam woke up some time later in the trunk of a car: scared, naked and tied up. This was not going to be a good day!

*     *     *

   Nasser smiled as he walked through the halls. He pushed a cart with a bottle of wine and glasses and wore the newly acquired desk clerk’s uniform. His newly acquired badge and clothes enabled him to get back in past security. He had waited for nearly an hour before someone came close enough to him to grab. Nasser was sure that the maid’s clothes would not work, so he passed on the first four people who came to the dumpster. He didn't want to kill the young man, so Nasser secured him in the trunk and decided to deal with him later.
   As Nasser continued down the hall, he could tell that Khalid was still alone as every so often a song would come on that prompted him to start his blood-curdling singing that was about to drive Nasser insane. Nasser walked the entire floor to sweep for planted devices or loitering people.
   Nasser approached Khalid’s doorway and used his notebook to identify two devices that transmitted video and sound back to a live agent. This meant someone was actively monitoring. Nasser knocked on a door down the hall from Khalid’s room and delivered the wine from room service. Now that he had the layout of the floor, he stepped away to the service elevator and stopped at the next floor down.
   There Nasser found the entrance to the service corridors and climbed his way back up to the previous floor and up into the crawl space in the ceiling. After a few minutes, he found the cameras that obviously watched the hallway and door to Khalid’s room. Nasser recorded a loop to send information and reprogramed it to run by a remote that he controlled. He would have three minutes once activated, which would be plenty of time.
   Nasser exited the crawl space and made his way out of the service corridor on the floor below. The return to the kitchen was uneventful, and he explained to the supervisor that the couple in room 1643 also wanted a Chardonnay and two more glasses, as they would be entertaining guests that evening. Nasser picked up another tray with glasses and a decanter of Chardonnay and placed them on a cart with a large tablecloth that covered it and made his way up the service elevator to the 16th floor. Just before the 15th floor, he activated the remote and the loop. Nasser walked down to room 1658, activated his electronic jammer and knocked on the door.
   “Who is it?” Khalid asked through the closed door.
   “Room service,” replied Nasser.
   Khalid opened the door and said, “I didn’t order room service.”
   “Yes, one of the patrons from this afternoon sent it to you,” lied Nasser. “She said to tell you she loved your presentation and would be up to see you shortly if you like. I’m to wait for an answer.”
   Khalid smiled, “She? Oh, I am the lucky one today!”
   “May I wheel this inside please?” Nasser asked.
   “Oh yes, please do be coming inside,” Khalid said excitedly.
   Nasser pushed the cart inside the room, placed the wine on the table, and poured a glass. Khalid fumbled around for his wallet about to give a tip when Nasser shot him with the tranquilizer gun. Almost immediately, Khalid slumped to the ground. Nasser helped Khalid gently down to the floor and scanned him for any stray electronics that the opposition may have placed on him during dinner. The first thing he found was his own tracking device. Nasser removed it and continued the scan and found two more which he placed on the bed. Nasser put Khalid on the bottom of the cart with the tablecloth to cover him up so that nobody could see him and exited the room with Khalid. He pushed the cart to the service entrance and picked up some dishes from someone else’s room service that was lying in the hall. Everything worked very smoothly and before long, he drove away down the road with two hostages in his trunk. Issue totally under control.
   Nasser smiled until he pulled up to his villa and noticed a black van parked across the street.

*     *     *

   Khalid woke up cramped up in the dark. The second thing he noticed was that his head ached as if he had a bad hangover. Khalid tried to rise and banged his head on something over him. He was confused and scared when he realized that his hands were tied behind his back.
   “Where the Hell am I?” Khalid said.
   “You’re in the trunk,” a voice close by replied.
   “Who’s that?” Khalid asked.
   “I’m Sam Nimo, the desk clerk at your hotel.”
   “Are you all right?” Khalid replied.
   “Not really. I’m stuck in a trunk with you!” Sam replied.
   “I meant, are you injured?” Khalid asked.
   “No, I’m okay except for one small problem,” Sam answered. “Somebody took my clothes.”
   Khalid thought about that for a moment then remembered that room service delivered a bottle of white wine to his room. Khalid’s eyes were starting to adjust to the darkness of the trunk, and he was could now make out details of his surroundings. They were indeed in the trunk of a car, and they were driving somewhere. As his head continued to clear from the grogginess, he could make out the small Filipino man that had greeted him at the front desk this morning. Sam was completely naked and lying uncomfortably close beside him.
   “Great God Almighty!” Khalid exclaimed. “Have these dogs no shame? They stripped you of your clothes and even your underwear?”
   “No, I didn’t wear any today,” Sam replied. “I woke up this morning in a hurry and couldn’t find any, so I just left them off. Talk about bad timing!”
   Khalid laughed. “Incredibly, my friend! Incredibly!”
   “So you see, you don’t really have it so bad after all. At least you’re dressed!”
   “No, you have just proven that it can be worse,” said Khalid who was thinking now about how to get out of this. “Are you tied up?”
   “Yes.  Why?”  Sam said
   “Maybe if we turn around back to back we can get each other’s hands free before we stop,” said Khalid.
   “Okay, let’s try,” Sam said.
   Both men struggled for a few minutes as they tried to turn around inside of the cramped and dark trunk. Finally, they maneuvered back to back; Khalid began to feel around for Sam’s arms.
   “Where are your hands?” Khalid said.
   “At the end of my arms. Hey, that’s my ass you’re grabbing,” Sam exclaimed as he moved his arms around to where Khalid was feeling.
   “Sorry.” Khalid was sure he was blushing terribly, but there was nothing else he could do. “Okay, I can feel your hands now. Seems like they used duct tape. Give me a second. There we go!”  Khalid unwrapped Sam’s hands. He, in turn, unwrapped Khalid’s hands and they worked themselves down so they could untie their feet as well.
   “Now, see if you can find anything that we can use as a weapon,” Khalid said. They felt around for a few minutes and felt the car leave the pavement and start to drive on dirt.
   “Oh, that’s not good,” Sam said. “They’re going to stop, and that can’t be a good thing.”
   “It’s going to be okay, Sam,” said Khalid in as calm a voice as he could muster. “We just have to jump out together and attack them as soon as they open the trunk. We’ll have the element of surprise on our side. Did you find anything we can use as a weapon?”
   “I’m still feeling around. Wait, I think I have something!” Sam pulled up a roadside emergency kit from behind him.
   “Perfect! See if there are any flares inside,” Khalid exclaimed. They opened the kit and found three flares and a tire iron, as the car slowed.
   “Yes! You take two flares, and I’ll take the tire iron and the last flare,” said Khalid as the car ground to a halt. Then he continued in a whisper, “Remember, we have the element of surprise. Jump up, scream and start the flares as soon as the trunk opens, but don’t burn me!”
   They heard the car door opened, and a person slowly walked to the back of the car. The seconds passed until they heard a voice.
   “You know your element of surprise works better when you’re not screaming your intentions in the trunk.”
   “Damn!” said Khalid. “What do you want with us?”
   “Actually, I’m helping you escape – you're being hunted by some very bad people. I’ll let you out to sit in the front on two conditions.”
   “Okay, we’re listening!”  Khalid answered.
   “First, drop the tire iron and all three flares. Second, the freaky little desk clerk has to put his clothes back on.”
   Khalid winced as he realized that their captor had indeed heard everything. In the excitement, they were much louder than he thought.
   “We’ll do as you ask. Now, will you please let us out?” Khalid asked.
   “See that large white latch beside you that says TRUNK RELEASE?”
Khalid certainly felt like a fool now. Tentatively he pulled the latch directly in front of his face and the trunk opened immediately. Khalid recognized the smiling face of the man who had delivered the wine to his room. He stood about 10 feet away from the end of the car with Sam’s clothes in one hand and a gun pointed at them in the other, and patiently waited for them to get out. The sun had begun to set in the desert, and the temperature had dropped. They were clearly miles away from anything and were completely at his mercy.
   “I’m Mahmoud Nasser,” he said as he threw the clothes to Sam. “But my friends call me Nasser.”

D.B. Stearns Returns Home!


I had a great time speaking at the San Gabriel Writers' League in my hometown of Georgetown, Tx. on August 4th. Our discussion centered mostly around using social media for marketing and the importance of indexing blog posts, with a little bit of Harmonic Wars thrown in for fun. If anyone is interested in having me as a guest speaker at your next function, please message me. I can speak about marketing, publishing, motivation and most definitely about my research into ancient archeology bordering on the paranormal. I've been a guest on several well-known shows, such as "Caravan to Midnight" and "Coast to Coast AM" and "Midnight in the Desert" among many others. Speaking fees are negotiable. 
The audience was engaged with the conversation of using social media to promote a product, or in this case our books. We discussed branching out into different groups that were connected to our books. I gave several examples of how I do that with SciFi, archeology, paranormal, and strong female characters. By leveraging your posts to groups of different genres you can gain huge amounts of views and contacts not possible through your friends list alone. We also discussed things like how often to post, how to improve your organic reach through your friends' list, the best days and times to post, and the importance of monitoring the analytics in each social media platform. My analysis showed greater organic reach if I only posted Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, but I had to post early in the morning. It seems that the first thing corporate America does when they go to work is to check Facebook! We talked about blogs and the vital importance of indexing and ranking your blogs. It was not surprising that very few people know and understand the importance of indexing and ranking, as it can make the difference between your blog showing up somewhere on page 456 or at the top on page 1 of any search.
Unfortunately, we ran out of time and really didn't get to share the information about the research I did on ancient sites. There were several people who would have enjoyed more of that, but the purpose of this event was to share what I learned about marketing. But, I can talk about Harmonic Wars here now!
Guardians of the Crystal Skulls is part one of a four-book SciFi series that uses ancient Egyptian, Mayan, Incan, Hopi and other European sites as focal points in this futuristic story. I tie in our ancient past with a probable future for an epic struggle of good vs evil for control of the universe. Witness the unmatched power of 13 beautiful women who project their emotions with devastating effect. Imagine a frontal assault from a full army that could be stalled because 13 women projected fear and confusion so overwhelming that the attack faltered. Armed with Anti-Grav Suits and the gift of the Crystal Skulls, they are the last hope to stop the powerful armies of a Warrior Guild driven insane with the lust for power by an unknown force of evil that nobody has ever known before.
How powerful could one person be, if they had complete control and awareness at the subatomic level of all forms of matter surrounding them? Imagine what they could do! They change matter from a solid to a liquid. They could sense pockets of gas in the ground around them, draw it up to the surface and cause it to explode. They could easily sense objects approaching them at any speed and change their course, even redirecting it back to its source at greater speeds. The possibilities are endless.

Talking points for X Zone Interview

On Aug 2nd starting at 10 PM CST, I'll be a guest on X Zone with Rob McConnell. Here are a few of the talking points that we will discuss during the show.

Below is a picture of the "Gates of Paradise" by sculptor Lorenzo Ghiberti on the Baptistery of San Giovanni in Florence, Italy. Each panel of this 400-year-old set of doors represents a different scene from the Bible. The panel below is said to represent the flood of Noah's time. I found it VERY interesting that a pyramid represented the Ark, and confusing.






























First, note that Ghiberti was very detail oriented to make sure all animals and people were correctly represented and proportional. See the lion, the elephant and other animals surrounding the base of the pyramid beside the people. The details leave nothing to the imagination. Now look at the top left of the pyramid and you can clearly see birds flying, but not all of those things coming out of the top of the pyramid are the same. Some are very clearly NOT birds. The upper right side shows a being in the clouds. Historians said that was God, but note the swirling connecting line from the cloud to the top of the pyramid. There is also a strange looking being laying at the feet of the people exiting the pyramid door.

In Genesis, God is very specific with the instructions to Noah about building the Ark. It mentions nothing about a solid structure shaped like a pyramid. Scientists have already studied these instructions and recreated a model that outperformed their expectations in tests. So what else could this be?

In my opinion, this is NOT the Ark, but is much more likely the Tower of Babel, as described in Genesis Chapter 11. What was it they had built that concerned an all powerful God so much that He had to intervene to stop them? Could this have been some type of ancient portal technology?

In Harmonic Wars, I used crystal artifacts as an underlying theme throughout the series. The legend of the 13 Crystal Skulls fit perfectly.

There are several crystal skulls that are currently in existence who's quality is considered good enough to be one of these fabled skulls. One is in the Smithsonian, in spite of the fact that this legend has largely been debunked. But since Harmonic Wars is Science Fiction, I had no problem including it. The properties of quartz are undeniable, as they are used in a large array of electronics today. Could this have been the case in the past? What are the properties? It has a consistent frequency and is used in timepieces. Quartz has amazing data saving properties as scientists are developing disks the size of a half dollar that can hold over 300 terabytes of data at normal living conditions without degradation, literally forever. Stones with a high quartz content like granite can also chime when struck.


Pyramids, along with many of the ancient structures around the world, used large stones of high quartz content. I doubt that they were used for their data saving properties, or as time pieces. But what about sound? I envision that the pyramids themselves were never burial chambers for the Egyptian Pharaoh who was considered their god. The Egyptians would have never buried their god in a tomb that had no religious writings whatsoever. 

We know that the construction of the pyramids in Giza used a different type of limestone for the casing. It was a highly polished limestone that some have said had almost no quartz at all. Could it have acted like an insulator? The sarcophagus they found for King Tutankhamen consisted of no less than 9 beautifully decorated boxes. And yet the sarcophagus inside the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid is a solid piece of hollowed out granite that is rough-hewn on the outside. Stark contrast to King Tut's burial chamber.

I believe that form follows function. Chris Dunn and other engineers have studied the general construction of the pyramid and determined that it's feasible to assume that it could be a generator of some type. Sound, water, and resonating chambers are used in conjunction to create a wireless energy source. These are many of the same concepts that Tesla used to convince investors to build the Wardenclyffe Tower that was never completed.


Cymatics is the study of the impact of sound on matter. Scientists can now levitate small objects like drops of water and ping-pong balls.  Michael Tellinger has been researching numerous sites in South Africa that were built in ancient times. Historians today claim that approximately 10,000
hunter-gatherers used these structures as nothing more than cattle pens, or "kralls." But Tellinger has found thousands of these structures. In fact, there are more cattle kraals than the 10,000 inhabitants.

If you were to search the internet for examples of cymatic experiments, you would see an example of sound frequencies aimed at a thin sheet of metal with salt poured on top. As the pitch is increased the salt forms intricate patterns at specific frequencies. Now look at the picture of one of Michael Tellinger's cattle kraals and compare it to the cymatic experiments. Of interesting note, the stones used for the cattle kraals are called "bellstone" because they are of such high quartz content that they ring like a bell when struck. How does this relate? On a guitar both the top and bottom strings are tuned to "E". If you strike the lower string, the upper string will resonate because it is in tune. The same thing applies at a harmonic level. Additional notes in a chord will ring out when singers are in perfect tune with each other. Although you see four people singing, you can hear 5 notes because of harmonic resonance. All things have a resonance or vibrate. All matter is in motion at the subatomic level. My question: when the Great Pyramid was creating the massive vibrations what was resonating harmonically with it? Was it the perfectly tuned solid granite obelisks? Was it these cattle kraals? More importantly, why did it stop?

An interesting side fact on the cattle kraals, these stone walls were 8-12 feet tall and had no openings. How did the cattle get in or out? They are also filled with various levels of sediment from some great flooding event.

Harmonic Wars is a SciFi story based on an ancient and highly advanced human civilization that settled in this solar system 12,000 years ago. In this book, Earth is not the Biblical Earth described in Genesis. Due to a horrific war, the advance civilization was destroyed as the war was fought to a standstill by two opposing forces of humans. Now, after 10,000 years of skirmishes, the war starts anew and threatens to blast humanity back to the stone age. Watch as the ordinary citizens once again see evidence of these two adversaries living amongst us as the battle spill out for all to see.

I use ancient ruins as focal points throughout the series. The Great Pyramid, Puma Punku, Machu Picchu, The Pyramid of the Sun, Stonehenge, and Gobekli Tepe are some of the sites you will see referenced or implied. The series is best described as Star Wars meets Game of Thrones, but without the incest. It is an epic story of good vs. evil with multiple storylines and many characters.
