Can't talk about the day the sun stops shining without mentioning the Mayan Calendar which is supposed to end December 21, 2012. So what's it all about and why is it so fascinating? The Maya calendar was adopted by the other Mesoamerican nations, such as the Aztecs and the Toltec, which adopted the mechanics of the calendar unaltered but changed the names of the days of the week and the ...

Hitler and the Occult
The interesting backdrop of my novel, The Tower's Alchemist, deals with Hitler's obsession with the occult. There are plenty of fascinating documentaries out there detailing how the fuhrer and his elite SS believed in and practiced the occult in hopes of reclaiming what they believed was a lost heritage (such as being the descendants of the race of Atlantis)--and their destined future.

Three Days of Darkness
Okay, tell me that's not creepy. I remember in a high school Humanities class we had to write a play. Our quirky teacher was obsessed with Nostradamus (and with dressing as if he were still in the 70's) and it sort of rubbed off on us. Not the 70's gear, just Nostradamus. So, it wasn't a surprise that we came up with a short play based on the famed seer. Ever since then I've ... View Post
