I KNOW I HAVE BEEN AWAY FROM MY BLOG LATELY. I JUST WANT TO LET EVERYONE KNOW, I HAVE BEEN BUSY WITH WORK, AND CHRISTMAS SHOPPING FOR THE FAMILY. BUT I AM STILL BUSY AT WORK FOR MY NEXT BOOK, "ENTITY UNKNOWN".

AS I HAVE TOLD A FEW OF MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY, I WILL BASE IT ON A MODERN DAY "JACK THE RIPPER". SERIAL KILLER, ON THE LOOSE IN SAN DIEGO. I HAVE BEEN BUSY RESEARCHING THE REAL RIPPER CASES, FROM READING MANY BOOKS FROM RIPPER EXPERTS AND AUTHORS. TO MANY NEWS DOCUMENTARIES, TO EXPERTS DISCUSSING THE SUSPECTS AS THEY HAPPENED IN, WHITECHAPPLE, ENGLAND. IN THE LATE 1800's. WHAT I HAD INTENDED TO DO, WAS BASE THE STYLE OF THE KILLER TO THE RIPPER MURDERS. AND MAKE THE KILLER, POSSESED BY A DEMON, WHO HAS UN-HUMAN SPEED AND STRENGTH. BUT I  STOPPED AND THOUGHT TO MYSELF, TO STORY DIDN'T SOUND VERY REALISTIC TO MYSELF, AND MY READERS MAY NOT LIKE A STORY LIKE THIS. SO I RESEARCHED THE RIPPER SUSPECTS MORE, AND WONDERED MYSELF WHO WERE THESE MEN, WHY WAS THERE NEVER AN ARREST MADE IF SCOTLAND YARD, AND THE LEAD INVESTIGATORS AT THE TIME. FELT THEY KNEW WHO HE MIGHT BE. FIVE TO EIGHT TOP SUSPECTS, HAVE BEEN MENTIONED AND NOTED IN DOCUMENTS IN SCOTLAND YARD TO, THE JOURNALS OF THE TOP POLICEMEN AT THE TIME THEN TO NOW. I LOOKED OVER THE SUSPECTS, READ AND VIEWED THEIR BIOGRAPHIES OF THEMSELEVES. WHERE THEY WERE IN ENGLAND AT THE TIME OF THE MURDERS. WHAT KIND OF KNOWLEDGE THEY POSSESS TO COMMITE THESE CRIMES. AND FOR WHAT REASON, NO ARREST WAS EVER MADE OF ANY SUSPECT. TO ME, I MAY NOT BE AN EXPERT ON FORENSICS, PROFILEING AND I'm NOT A POLICE DETECTIVE AT ALL. BUT IN MY OPINION, ONE SUSPECT STANDS OUT MOE THAN ANY OTHER, AND I WILL TIE THAT SUSPECT INTO MY BOOK, AND REVEAL TO ALL MY READERS WHO HE IS IN THE END OF THE BOOK. AGAIN THIS IS MY OWN OPINION, AS TO MANY OTHERS WHO GAVE THEIR OWN AS TO WHO, THE IDENTITY OF WHO; "JACK THE RIPPER". MIGHT BE.

I WILL START TO WRITE; "ENTITY UNKNOWN". BY MARCH OF THIS COMING YEAR, AND LOOK FORWARD TO IT'S RELEASE BY SUMMER 2012!!!!

I just wanted to let everyone know, my new book is out for purchase. "THE ENCOUNTER OVER ALASKA". Based on the true events of flight, JAL 1628. That encountered three massive UFOs, while flying high above the Alaskan tundra, in November 1986. The book  while based on true events, is then very fictional as I did my best, to capture the understanding of many true cases of UFO sightings and alleged crashes, of alien aircraft.

     I just wanted to warn my fans and all readers, that the book is very violent. And should be read by adult theme readers, above the age of 18. Any feed back from all my fans either positive or negative, I would love to hear what you all have to say about the book. They are for sale at, Authorhouse.com and soon Amazon.com.

Did the 1947 Roswell Incident, really happen?

Why I believe in the Roswell incident and UFO's in general. I have come to learn in over ten years of investigation and study. That the Roswell incident did indeed happen. Some UFO's are real! Like Stanton Friedman has been stating for over 40 years now. Not everythiing you hear is the truth, most of the caes are hoaxes and just plane B.S. So in this blog, I'm going to help you understand the true cases, I have come to know that have convinced me. That Roswell did happen, and why we are not alone in the universe.

I first heard of the Roswell case when I was just 11 years old. In 1983 there was a UFO documentary called, "UFO's ARE REAL", written by Stanton Friedman, as he and many other experts spoke, on why they believed Roswell and many other cases are true. I thought to myself even at that young age, that this Roswell thing could not have been true. But when I was on active duty in the Army in 1999, I was told by a high ranking Officer, that the Roswell case did happen, Area 51 does exist. Some Alien races are visiting the Earth, and there is a cover up of the biggest story in mankind's existance. So now lets look at the facts together, and analyze them together.

There was the press release a day after the Army announced they had receovered a downed disc. They then recounted the statement and said, it was a miss guided weather balloon only. In just under 20 years later we are flying men to the moon! How did we gain this knowledge and know how in just that short time! they got the knowledge from the Roswell crash of 2 flying discs that crashed in the New Mexican Deserts. The 1953 Kingman, Arizona crash. The 1965 Kecksburg, Pennsylvania case. We have broken down these crafts propulsion and engine systems. To understand how they fly in our own air space and beyond. At Wright Patterson Base in Ohio, and at Area 51. So we know when and where we are doing this work, now lets look at the witness testimony to know and see if we can believe it!

Jesse Marcle was the intelligence officer at the time he was sent to investigate the claim by rancher, Mac Brazel, that he had wreckage of a UFO at his Foster ranch, 75 miles East of Roswell. Upon inspection of the wreckage, Marcle said it was nothing of this Earth! That he has seen before, and this is a man who is a Major in the Army, a pilot in WW II, knows all kinds of aircrafts at that time. So why would he lie! As he was told to shut up, by General Ramey. So the cover up began as it was stated only a weather ballon. In 1978, Stanton Friedman, a nuclear physicist. Was introduced to Marcle, and just years before his death, he gave interviews to Friedman, and to Leanard Nimoy on In Search Of. Explaining how he was ordered to be quiet of the incident, that the public is not to know Aliens exsit. So I don't think a man who was a major in the Army, his won sone at 12 years of age, Jesse Marcle Jr. Who is now a medical Doctor and Army reserveist. Who aslo saw parts of the wreckage the night his father brought it home. None of these men would lie about this! And waste their good names and reputations that this was nothing but a hoax!

SO THIS IS WHY I BELIEVE THE ROSWELL INCIDENT HAPPENED! WHY I BELIEVE IN SOME UFO's! WHY I BELIEVE IN THE JAL 1628 UFO INCIDENT! AND WHY I WROTE A BOOK ABOUT IT! THAT WILL BE OUT VERY SOON!!

Choosing my All-Star Cast

I’m working very hard to get The Dark Mist of Autumn and Evil’s Redemption turned into a movie. And people keep asking me why Hollywood screenwriter David Sheldon and I are changing the books from a Satanic cult into a Druid Cult.

For one, this concept has never been done before in any movie in history. An evil Druid Celtic cult in modern day times, searching for its one female to sacrifice to their living God, Jacob Mulkryne, is a new concept. David and I think that the Satan theme has been done too many times in the past to present day in Hollywood films. And we feel a Satanic cult will not be well received with the media with all the other movie themes going on right now.

But I promise you all, the main characters from my book are staying the same. We are adding a lot more action scenes for the screenplay for the movie. We want to make it as action-packed as we can, to entertain everyone.

Someone asked me who would I like to see play the part of Marc Collins in the film. To be honest, I have always liked Mark Wahlberg from when he made the films Shooter and Max Payne. He is by far one of the best action-hero types.

But if you add the elements needed for the character of Marc Collins, it calls for an actor that has all the traits of not only action-hero status but very dramatic, romantic and daring as the big hero. So I changed my mind to Matt Damon.

Matt Damon has the qualities needed to play the part of Marc Collins very well and bring all the action and drama to a climatic head. The parts of the villains should be played by George Clooney as Lucas Westscott, and if you make him all gray, Nicholas Cage as Jacob Mulkryne.

There you have my picks for an all-star cast for the movie.

"The Encounter over Alaska:" A UFO Incident

I just wanted to update everyone about my new book: "The Encounter over Alaska.” I have completed it and my publisher is currently working on the project!

I can't give you a specific release date just yet, but it should be around September or early October. I'm very excited to announce this since the story is also based on true events, as were my first two books.

I'm really looking forward to finding out how critics and fans of UFO's will react to my book. It's the first ever fictional biography based on the real events of the Japan airlines flight 1628 in November 1986.

I promise all my fans there will be plenty of action and plot twists in the story. To keep you all entertained from beginning to end, I did something different in the plot. I don't want to say too much. But when the readers think they know who the main character and hero is, another character will be introduced into the story. That will culminate all the action and deep secrets to unravel one of the biggest UFO true cases since the Roswell incident of 1947.

As for my current books, they are doing very well. Hollywood film producer David Sheldon and I are making the necessary changes to the screenplay to make certain the coming movie will be as good if not better than both books!

But as Steve asked, there is a lot of action, especially in Evil's Redemption. Also, Steve asked me what makes the hero, Marc Collins, different than other action heroes we have come to know in other novels or movies.

As the person who created the character, I wanted to make Marc Collins not only brave and strong as a skilled homicide detective, but I wanted to show my readers that he is very down to Earth person. He is well-liked in the police force and in the small town where he lives. But also he has feeling of sadness and love, for both the women in his life. 

 His first wife, Andrea, was murdered in order to keep him from piecing the whole investigation into the cult's activities. And then he meets Dr. Shannon Medford, who at first was the state's police psychologist to help him deal with Andrea's death. Soon they become romantically involved, as Shannon taught Marc how to love again and not to give up on life.

As more murders of young people are happening in the town, Marc is thrown back into the investigation of what he believes is a serial cult behind these murders. And he doesn't want Shannon involved with his investigation in order for her not to be hurt like his first wife. 

 Shannon though is very strong-willed and will not tolerate Marc's feelings of pushing her away from him. As they eventually get back together during the story, Marc now becomes more determined not only to protect Kathy Westscott but Shannon as well. And he will go all out to fight for his friends and risk his life in the entire ordeal.  

Toward the climax of the Dark Mist of Autumn, we finally find out who betrayed Marc and the other good policemen in Malapaso. As Marc gets ready to battle it out with guns blazing, he is attacked by one of the cult's main villains. It leads to a great hand-to-hand fist fight. Marc battles it out all the way through to the end, as Shannon was abducted along with Kathy to be killed.

But Shannon is very strong and fights herself out from impending death. Marc is able to save her. And he and Shannon fight together to save Kathy at the very end. They thought it was all over, but the lead cultist, Jacob Mulkryne, had plans for his Holy Redemption on Marc and his friends in Evil's Redemption.

Trying to Find my Way to the Big Screen

Not only was the true missing case of Kelly Dae Wilson the inspiration behind my book, I also wanted to create a hero never before seen in novel or film.

This hero has immense odds stacked against him as he battles many evil foes that get in his way: Marc Collins has to save not only Kathy Westscott again but rid the world of this cult of evil that will stop at nothing until they achieve their goals of reclaiming Kathy and killing Marc and his whole family and friends.

 I wanted to make a hero that all my readers could relate to. Marc Collins is a not only a very skilled and physically strong police detective, but he is also a down to Earth good-hearted person, who is very religious and has many friends in the town of Malapaso. I wanted to show he has true feelings and shows his emotions.

When his wife Andrea was murdered, he became a recluse and blamed himself for her death. But he then found love and stability again when he met Dr. Shannon Medford, who helped him overcome his sadness and guilt for Andrea's death. He and Shannon share a very passionate love that very few couples ever find in real life. Marc marries Shannon in Evil's Redemption, but only a few days after their happy wedding day tragedy will strike Marc again as Shannon was severely injured in a horrific attack planned to kill them both. Marc survived the attack with far less serious injuries than Shannon.

 Again he blamed himself for his second wife being almost killed by Jacob Mulkryne and his people. Marc then didn't think of revenge, but just wanted to retire from the police force and make certain Shannon and his family were safe from this point on.

But Marc was almost killed again in another well-planned attack on his life. And he was convinced by FBI lead agent Ron Hamilton that he can't run and hide from the cult because they will seek him and his family out where ever they go. Marc knows he is right, and he decides to work with the FBI and not only try to stop the cult again but also protect Kathy Westscott, who Marc became very fond of and will risk his life for a second time to protect.

 People ask me why I named the hero Marc Collins. Did I name him after myself or someone I know? The real answer is two-fold: I used my own personal military experience to show that Marc Collins is very skilled and strong, but also I named him Marc after one of my favorite actors, Mark Wahlberg, in hopes if the books were ever made into movies that Mark Wahlberg could play the part of Marc Collins.

After I saw the film Max Payne in which he was the lead character, I felt that Mark Wahlberg was my choice to play the part of Marc Collins. Like in the movie Max Payne, he showed he was a real person, down to Earth and filled with love for his wife and baby that were stolen. And he goes all out to find the people responsible for their murders.

In time, we may have that chance to see both The Dark Mist of Autumn and Evil's Redemption brought to the big screen. Leading Hollywood writer, producer and director David Sheldon is working on the screenplay for The Dark Mist of Autumn. He and I have been in constant contact ever since the books were released, and we talk about and make the certain changes we feel will bring both books and all the characters to life for everyone to enjoy.
