  How one of our books came about.  Thursday 2-29-24 (Leap Year) This book released by two of our daughters was based on a set of conversations one night. Back Story: Back around 2008, we moved into a home in an Austin suburb on a street named Hollow Ridge. After a few weeks, we began to hear a woman's voice at night coming from empty rooms. Weird things kept happening. Several nights when I was alone in the computer room I felt a presence behind me but no one was there. Then some nights I would feel a light touch on my right arm or ear. Again no one was there.  After a while, you would not be surprised by this.  When one of my brothers and I were playing an online game we both felt someone brush across our back from left to right. We both turned at that moment and saw a figure go out the wall where a window was. My brother turned in surprise and asked who had just gone out the door. I pointed and said that it was a window, not a door.  Our daughter Brandy and h...

2-24-2024 Our series The Dark World, book one was originally published in December 2021. The original title was Truth Dreamers.  As the storyline grew book one went through a revision and additional details were added to tie it into book one.  Here are a few AMAZON reviews.  Check it out yourself and leave a review.  This book is a gripping and imaginative read that effortlessly blends science fiction with ancient mythologies and modern-day narratives. As someone in my 40s, this book offered a delightful escape into a world where the lines between past and future, human and alien, are intriguingly blurred. The author’s background in science fiction and ancient history is evident in the richly woven plot, which moves seamlessly from the dawn of human civilization to contemporary Chicago. The story of Officer Dylan Bryant, transitioning from a tragic event to discovering his newfound powers as a Truth Dreamer, was both captivating and thought-provoking. What makes this...
