Ancient Illusions
A long-lost diary, a rare book of ghost stories, and unrelenting nightmares combine to send archeologist Michael Rempart on a forbidden journey into the occult and his own past. When Michael returns to his family home after more than a decade-long absence, he is rocked by the emotion and intensity of the memories it awakens. His father is reclusive, secretive, and obsessed with alchemy and its secrets—secrets that Michael possesses. He believes the way to end this sudden onslaught of nightmares is to confront his disturbing past. But he soon learns he isn’t the only one under attack. Others in his life are also being tormented by demonic nightmares that turn into a deadly reality. Forces from this world and other realms threaten madness and death unless they obtain the powerful, ancient secrets in Michael’s possession. Their violence creates an urgency Michael cannot ignore. The key to defeating them seems to lie in a land of dreams inhabited by ghosts … and demons. From the windswept shores of Cape Cod to a mystical land where samurai and daimyo once walked, Michael must find a way to stop not only the demons, but his own father. Yet, doing so, he fears may unleash an ancient evil upon the world that he will be powerless to contain.
Guess What The Fish Sings To The Hook
Sabienn Feel and his brothers enter the rich and powerful country of Upper Deerland. His father, the Grand Inquisitor Profound, has covertly pushed his Secret Police into the country to catch and kill him, as a final act to extinguish his impure blood. Sabienn has undertaken a journey to gain a read on a locket owned by a young woman in his quest to find a missing stone of power. He encounters privileged and violent teenagers and uncovers evidence of terrorism to be committed in the land. When he finds clues that his father is involved, in sensitive matters of sabotage, Sabienn sees a chance to bring his father to book. But an encounter with an old friend proves he’s moving towards more trouble than he can handle. “Guess What The Fish Sings To The Hook” is the fifth of twelve books in the Sabienn Feel Adventures. Interview with the Author Q – That’s five books down. How’s the journey unfolding? A – It feels like peeling an onion. More and more layers. All the characters are evolving. Old characters are returning. Sabienn Feel is learning more about himself. It was a pleasure to write this fifth book in the series. Q - What inspired you to write The Sabienn Feel Adventures? A – I’ve always loved the idea of the epic journey. I’m acquainted with the book Journey to the West but was more familiar with the TV series in the 80’s based on the book called Monkey. The idea of four souls travelling across a wide expanse of geography to complete a quest appealed to me. So I planned a series of twelve books to go from one place in the south of this space colony that they live on twice removed from Earth, to end up in the north, meeting danger at every turn. Q – Why does your main character Sabienn Feel grow wings? A - Good question. I wanted something very drastic to occur to these people physically. Something that would be difficult to hide and offer an immediate prejudice. The idea of growing wings constantly came up for me. There’s a Pearl Jam song I found inspiring that says, “And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky. A human being that was given to fly”. And in my mind’s eye, I could see this figure. Almost like the Led Zeppelin Icarus logo but with bat wings. But they couldn’t fly otherwise they’d hit the sky and the journey would be over in no time. I made them only able to swim because being submerged in water has elements of dealing with the subconscious. To me it satisfies all elements of those prophecy, fantasy, epic adventure type of stories that involve friendship and brotherhood.
