ABOUT THE AUTHOR – To be completed shortly

“The Bell’s Tell” presents as a fascinating, or better still mind-boggling concept and is a ‘must’ read.

A most compelling work that sets the imagination on fire, Greg Sexton has created a masterpiece which is able  to evoke the question: whether it may be expedient to conduct some further research into the possibility of this scientific formula’s validity; and whether it presents  as a workable experiment of substance.  Is it able to open doors to a whole dimension  of scientific wonders and calibrations – rather than merely providing a speculative theory merely to tickle our fancy, and love for Sci-Fi Fantasy thrillers.

We shall let the readers decide…

ABOUT THE BOOK

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Keel Manning wrote a science fiction book, and now someone wants him dead.

With help from his lifelong friend Mac, FBI agent Nate Seaver, and NASA consultant Frances Wilson, he joins an investigation to discover the source of the threat. As Keel comes into contact with both his best hope and worst enemy, he realizes that the dangers he faces are related to mindspeed and timespeed, life’s bells and time’s bells, and the search for the shape and origin of the universe itself.

Book Description –  “Beneath Blackened  Clouds”

Jonathan wakes up in a desert, his past wiped from his memory. He finds himself alone in the world, and what is worse – he has no clue who, and what he is, or where he has come from. Least of all has he any idea as to where he should go.  He realizes there is only one way, and that is forward – when in the far distance, he spots a little township.

All he finds when he arrives there is empty and forlorn streets, old and dilapidated houses and buildings, and the town seems almost ghostlike in its uneasy abandonment. There is no one to ask for help and there is nowhere to go.

Jonathan feels urged onward and begins to wander through the township in search of any sign of life; whilst wrecking his sore brain to try and bring back his memories. But only odd visions haunt him from time to time and flood through his mind,  as he continues quest for answers and search of the town, leaving  him feeling utterly exhausted and confused.

Soon Jonathan comes to the realization that he is moments away from some deathlike invisible clutches that pursue his every move, as the almost diabolical air and presence that dwells throughout the deserted township is seeking to capture and devour fresh souls, and to be sucked up in its evil and dark dimensions. The seemingly dead, forlorn and deserted town void of any life is only outwardly seemingly, empty of life.

With its Grey ominous sky hanging low over the buildings and fields, the absence of sunshine to brighten the place up is overly depressing. After some time Jonathan realizes that the dark and somber days that follow never really turn into nights, and seem to be stuck and fixed in a kind of twilight zone. The somber half light days of the township proof utterly soul destroying, monotonous and never-ending.  The only road leading into the town and the only exit and escape route out of the place, is filled with gruesome shadows of entities and a multitude variety of other evil creations, Jonathan has never witnessed or envisioned; even in his worst nightmares. He begins to realize that he is not hallucinating after all, but is actually finding himself firmly locked in the grip of an evil force that wants him to stay. He senses that he is looking straight into the face of hell on earth.

Who is he? Who brought him here? He feels lost, frightened and confused, but after a lengthy and thorough search of the entire township and its buildings, shops and house he discovers one tenant – a sole female resident whose name is Elizabeth.  He tries to discover about his past life and hoping in time to regain his memory, together with Elizabeth he attempts to find their way out to escape from the oppressive  and evil presence dominating the town; which could only be described as a no-man’s land, locked into the clutches of unspeakable forces of wickedness.

Meet the Dragon Pit!

This is a group of PhD students who decide that the war on terror is crazy, never-ending madness. They believe this war can only be won by fighting fire with fire; by getting on the same level as the terrorists. This tiny group of intellectuals take it upon themselves to “fight” the war themselves by getting rid of the constraints of Western morality and principles and going after the terrorists on their terms. Things become very personal when they lose one of the members of their group. More determined than ever, they plan their own version of retaliation. Does it work or does it backfire?

What a super movie that would make!

ABOUT “SIEGE OF THE SMALL WORLD”

Many years ago, the smaller inhabitants of the Upper world became overpowered by their larger brothers. The bigger ones (men and giants) wanted more land forcing the little ones; (dwarfs, elves, leprechauns, and lepelves) into ever smaller corners of the world. Before long they didn’t have enough land to farm and they were forced to become dependent on the bigger ones. This is a path of discovery the Small World exceedingly delivers.

ABOUT THE XLs PROJECT – Category “Alien and Other Dimensional” Orientation

Another completed SCI-FI work entitled THE XLs, a 92,000 word count, is also under consideration for publication and Film Project which has now also been allocated to a new publishing house, but for which no date for publication has yet been designated, but we’re aiming for 2019.

THE XLs adventure is a genre that especially today, fits admirably into the Literary and cinematic landscape, as the rise to prominence about anything Alien and ET phenomenon constantly graces our news reports. With the declassification recently of highly Secret classified files by NASA and the Pentagon, admitting that a research program had been in place for some year on tracking UFO Sightings on which a cool $200 plus million dollars had been allocated testifies to the existence of UFOs.  Many of these sightings were brought to the attention firsthand to our US Air Force pilots specifically, who were no longer prepared to keep these phenomenon to themselves on the advisement of their superiors and respective authorities until recently.  The verification of these sightings by Air Force Pilots, Navy and Military people and even retired NASA Astronauts, and the general public worldwide can no longer be denied.  From observation by Pilots in particular, these crafts prove to be of a highly sophisticated and advanced technology in both maneuverability, and speed, and which suggests these crafts are not of this realm.

What seemed rather outrageous claims which have surfaced on line and YouTube over the years and the hundreds of reputable witness accounts bravely provided by those that worked at top level high security clearance departmental levels in the US government may now be counted as true and genuine. .  Many hundreds of these government personnel bodies, now in their retirement age since having worked within the sectors of the US Air Force, Black Military complex and the Secret Space programs at NASA, and more importantly their involvement at Roswell Area 51, and various other secret Area locations at Roswell in a professional capacity, have now come forward to testify of their experiences and speak freely of what they know.  Let me rephrase that – what they know from firsthand experience to be true and which brought many forward to provide these accounts in the public arena and even presented their reports and findings to the US Congress.  We’re talking Astronauts, NASA, Naval, US Air Force and military high ranking officials who all provided their testimonials, no longer afraid of the consequences.  Some have gone as far as to admit that they were aware of Alien back-Engineered technology research programs and advanced space craft technology in progress still now, about which information overload continues to surface and grace its presence on various Internet Websites, Social Networking and YouTube mediums and International Organizations like CSETI.com, an organization run by a Doctor Steven M. Greer, and is devoted to everything that encompasses Alien, UFO and ET news.

It is now common knowledge that these secret programs in connection to not only Alien back engineered technology and unlimited energy technologies, but also that NASA-funded-scientists-have-created-alien-dna/development Biological programs and research which now comes under the label of  ‘cryptogenetics’, and researched with a view to where this application could serve humanity and its future generations to the better.

We have high hopes for this amazing project to become a Film or a Sci-Fi Series to thrill fans and which will be able to project and even support the idea and possibility of advancing the human race in all areas of life, and medical advancements.  Watch that space and most of these new technologies which will continue to be broadcast and dealt with on YouTube.

Overview of THE XLs:-

Gerhard has published 18 books and over 150 articles plus those since recently not counted as yet ( www.Gerhardplenert.com ), four of which are his riveting and exciting novels.

When asked what the book is about he answered:  “It’s a science fiction novel that breaks free from traditional sci-fi themes and explores new worlds while attempting to maintain some level of scientific integrity. It mixes drama and suspense with a scientific twist.  It introduces thought-provoking themes that leave the readers emotionally involved as they weave through a tangled web of intrigue both on earth and in space.”

The book begins with a brain tumor which is operated on by a medical specialist.  The surgery results in the unexpected result where the patient ends up with super mental powers, including the ability to communicate telepathically, retain information with a photographic memory, and develop the ability to multi process.  The doctor successfully replicates the process on two additional patients at which point he goes public and announces his success.  Rather than receiving positive acclaim, he is criticized for performing experimental surgeries.  Additionally, he was criticized for recommending brain surgery as something that should happen to the population at large.  Even worse, he now became the target of computer industry moguls who see him as a threat because of his claim that these new super mental powers will eliminate the need for computers and cell phones.

The doctor is killed and the XLs (the individuals with the super brain powers) make a run for it, hiding out in Peru.  Eventually they are attacked and have to find a new hiding place.  In the meantime, one of the XLs has made contact with alien life forms on another planet and they plan to come visit the earth.  Another of the XLs has gone off in search of an access point for the center of the earth, which he became convinced must exist.  The center earth access point is found and all three of the XLs head there to hide out from the attackers.

The aliens arrive and find it difficult to communicate verbally with anyone.  They prefer to communicate with the XLs which requires one of the XLs to travel out from the center of the earth to see what he can do to help out.  He gets the US president involved, but is concerned about the threats on his life posed by the computer industry assassins…….

There is another full page of information in this Overview but for now we won’t give away anymore than is necessary of this amazing and  thrilling adventure.   We will make the appropriate announcement as and when the book goes to print with a new publisher hopefully also in 2019.

In the future, Earth is controlled by one man, Supreme Leader Jeremiah Johnson. Fueled by a desire to control the world, Jeremiah Johnson infiltrated himself into the mega-churches and led a campaign of suppression and subversion that resulted in one Church of Enlightenment, with himself as leader. The political influence of the Church extended into the political arena where Jeremiah Johnson was also elected Supreme Leader of the World. With both the power of the church and the government in his hands, nothing stands between Jeremiah and world domination.

Henry Thomas’ parents were on a mission to uncover evidence that would undermine the doctrine that is the foundation of the Church of Enlightenment. Ten year old Henry watched as his parents were deemed heretics and violently murdered by a death squad of Church fanatics. Captured by fanatics himself, Henry is sent to a Church orphanage to be reprogrammed. After six years of captivity he manages to escape and begin a life on the run. He meets the love of his life, Annie Pearl, who shares his hatred of the oppression that has created a world of extreme wealth and extreme poverty. When Annie is murdered for her outspoken views, Henry’s life is set on a course of revenge and hatred. His mission to destroy Supreme Leader Johnson will take him all the way to the Martian deserts surrounding the new Mars colony. On Mars he hopes to find the proof his parents were seeking, the evidence that will topple an empire and exact revenge for the murder of those he loved.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR  –  This page is still under construction

Tom Foster is what I would call a ‘prolific’ Author extraordinaire who possesses an inexhaustible wealth of imagination, and shows to be an Author of much promise.

The “Of Light and Shadows” Book I in the Series is one of many books and projects the Author has produced and added to his repertoire of fine literature.   This is a must read work, and we can confidently guarantee that our readers will be hooked into and completely mesmerized by the unfolding events within the story.  Once immersed and carried away into the story and familiarized with the characters that dominate our attention,  the unfolding situations and scenarios that sweep across the nation allows us to be swept away by the emotional rollercoaster existence of terror and heartache, hate and betrayal, and confrontation and situations which threatens the very survival of its  citizens.   In a world where virtually overnight as it were, the normalcy of all routinely daily chores and lifestyles are being plunged into a world of utter hostility, madness and confusion by an invisible evil presence;  where friends and neighbors become formidable enemies, and where trust and compassion no longer exists.

ABOUT THE BOOK – “OF LIGHT AND SHADOWS” BOOK I OF THE OLAS SERIES

A single noise alerts Tyler that something is wrong, though as he steps from his bedroom he enters a world where nothing is as he remembers, and friends have become enemies. Into this uncertain world Tyler finds it necessary to fight, to kill, and to survive as he and his girlfriend Kera are attacked. Former classmates and friends turn upon the two as they are forced to fight for their lives, thrust into a hellish nightmare where nothing is as it seems and monsters lurk within the shadows.

Into this madness the two find their way throughout the northern end of the Longbeach Peninsula, their home and haven for so long, seeking out whoever might remain. Little more than madness and destruction await them however, the bloody trails leading from so many homes attesting to the unrelenting insanity that has suddenly gripped the land. Only after gathering several of their friends to their side do the two realize that the greatest of threat lies not within the shadows surrounding their home, nor the frightening creatures that now roam the dark. Through blood and fire the small group soon learns of the greater threat, represented by a small group of friends turned enemies, who seek goals much different than their own.

By Brett Dana (Author, Public Speaker and Motivator).

Brett brings home a springer spaniel puppy thinking that the time in the field hunting with his son and the new dog would create a stronger bond and create wonderful childhood memories. He and his son Brandon choose one of two black and white female puppies from a litter only days old. Brett finds the puppy to be aggressive and defiant forcing a decision to be made whether or not to keep the dog or return her to the seller. Although hesitant, Brett and his family decide to keep the dog, naming her Decoy. It was rough in the beginning but Decoy becomes the perfect family member and a joy to all those who meet and spend time with her. The biggest concern Brett has is when the time will come to decide on letting go, walking away from one of his closest relationships. His greatest fear confronts him and Brett takes an emotional rollercoaster ride watching one of his most precious possessions age and deteriorate before his vary eyes. In the end Brett learns from Decoy much about life, aging and dying with dignity, preparing him for the loss of his father. The dog that was a nuisance in the beginning becomes a significant part of Brett’s life preparing him for what was to come seven months following her departure. “Decoy” is not just a story about a dog, it is a story about LIFE, LOVING, and LETTING GO.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

A brilliantly narrated account by George A. Bowley, “A Son of the Empire”, offers a frank delivery filled with courage and excellent good humor, and is a story that many will relate to who were like George in a similar situation. The book offers the reader a first hand view of what it would have been like, to be torn away from familar surroundings and all that he knew and felt comfortable with.
Like so many children during WWII in Great Britain, many were seconded to Australia and New Zealand and various other British colonies. For George the destination was Rhodesia, where he grew up into a fine and well-principled young man, who came to love his country of exile – proving a safe haven away from the turmoil and destruction that was raging in Britain and throughout Europe; providing him a brand new life.

AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY – Curriculum Vita Information

Question: Tell us something about yourself, your educational background, your professional life and personal achievement/wish list yet to be achieved, your other accomplishments if any, literary wise, or anything you’re comfortable parting with.  You are in control George 🙂

Answer:  I was born in England in the year of the start of the 2^nd world war. Grew up from the age of five in an orphanage. Sent by ship to Cape Town- S.Africa and by rail to Bulawayo in Southern Rhodesia at the age of 8yrs.

The Fairbridge Home for migrants was an R.A.F pilot training school that was used to train pilots during the war. Our dormitories were Nissan huts on brick plinths encased in corrugated iron- hot in summer and bitterly cold in winter. Mosquitoes were a menace in the rainy season- each bed had a mosquito net and every morning we would squash the bloated insects, that had penetrated the nets and smear our blood on the material, as a sign of victory.The home was set on 2000 acres of bush veld teeming with wild life. There was hardly one of us that didn’t have a pet chameleon, a bat eared fox, a snake or a darling rat with huge innocent eyes- it was a hard life of discipline and freedom. The school holidays were the best of times whether one remained at the home when discipline was relaxed and the children were encouraged to spend the days fishing, hunting and camping out in the bush, or if you were lucky might spend the holidays as guests of the public in their homes in the towns or on farms.

After five years of primary school I achieved nothing more noteworthy than a first class award for elocution in the Rhodesian Eisteddfod and was chosen with others to meet the Queen at the  unveiling of the Kingsley Fairbridge Memorial on Christmas Pass outside Umtali.

Life changed abruptly- and for the worst, the year I began high school. Cruel initiations and bullying were the norm for the first year but if one could bear the worst year of one’s life, things could only get better. I survived don’t ask me how, however each year as a senior got better. I always wanted to be a school teacher however the cost of years at the teachers training college was beyond the affordability of the Fairbridge Trust so I was encouraged to become a farm hand instead, so I left school with a G.C.E at the age of sixteen. For the next ten years I was given to farmer after farmer to do with me as he pleased- years of hard slogging for a pittance, years of racism, brutality and deceit. But I shrugged it off and grew stronger for it.

When British sanctions were imposed on Rhodesia after U.D.I. was declared, and a bloody war was in progress. Many of the migrants emigrated to Australia, or moved back to Britain. Many of us stayed as Britain would have had us do, but not a word from her as life worsened. For years after I was married in 1967, I fought my way up. Britain’s sanctions had ruined any chance I had of leasing a tobacco farm so I joined the corporate world instead and between fighting and killing for what I believed was a lost cause, I never-the-less improved my lot and became a Pulp Plant Manager with a Paper Company after having completed a three year course in pulp technology in a the space of eighteen months- with at least six of those months spent in the bush fighting the enemy- I obtained my diploma.

One day in about 1971 I survived an ambush which had a strange effect on me. It was a fear if you like. A fear of dying without knowing who I was. Memories flooded back to me names of my siblings I spent a life with in the orphanage and above all who were my parents?.

The wanting to know became an addiction so I began a search and two years later I met my father for the first time. I met my two sisters too- both of them were strangers to each other and my father. The sad thing is the girls have remained strangers and have no desire at all to meet their father. More than thirty years on I met a brother the eldest of us, I was seventy-two he was seventy- eight. Our story drew the attention of the press- A serialised version of or meeting was programmed on a BBC radio channel.

Sadly one year later my brother died. In recognition of his death and my life as a migrant I was invited to represent the Rhodesian migrants at the apology given by the Prime Minister-Gordon Brown at the Palace of Westminster. There were seventy odd migrants from Australia, Canada and New Zealand. I was the only Rhodesian/Zimbabwean migrant.

 BOOK DESCRIPTION: “Son of the Empire”

Until the age of five George Bowley spent his days on the streets of Brighton, but when his mother was imprisoned in 1943, he and his four siblings were sent to an orphanage where they were split up. Five years later George Bowley was selected by the The Fairbridge Society to be included in their mission to relocate disadvantaged children around the Empire. He was sent to what was then known as Rhodesia. Years later George embarked on a search for his lost family that became the subject of a BBC radio documentary. In 2010 he and other victims of the policy of forced child migration received an official apology from the British Government. This is his story.
