Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Barbieris final novel in his trilogy continues with EMILY MADDINGs journal; in it, Emily documents PALE-MOONs narration of life in her [Pale-Moon] ninth-century Native American village. Pale-Moons connection to Emily, a woman living in the nineteenth century, enables the two women to dream-travel to each others time-band. Thus begins a celestial relationship that endures for centuries. Emily frequently dream-travels to the ninth-century village and is present during the birth and much of the subsequent twenty-year life of Pale-Moons nephew TEH-GHUT-SA. The narration recounts the periods during which Teh-Ghut-Sa undertakes two vision quests: the first at age thirteen; the second at age twenty. As events unfold, an imbalance in the interstellar positive-negative polarity develops. Emilyher ability to dream-travel to time-bands within the past, present, and futurereveals several possibilities that would result if the balance tips in favor of the negative polarity. If the imbalance were to progress unaltered, mayhem and death would result. When Teh-Ghut-Sa, age twenty, returns from his second vision quest, he becomes the target of a negative-polarity plot. The confrontation's eventual outcome will affect the lives of all beings residing in the known universe. A more immediate consequence: the stream of consciousness that had given rise to the mind-consciousness of many village inhabitants would be obliterated, along with the lives of those connected to it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How will HG Wells react when he awakes 200 years in the future on a strange planet, faced with a terrible truth? Two young brothers make a frightening discovery about the neighbors. Do robots secretly want to rule us all? A scientist goes to extremes to change the future of mankind. But is it possible to change our destiny? Tales from another dimension is a strange and fantastical collection of ten short stories. Robbie Sheerin is inspired by classic Sci-fi, invoking nightmarish twists and turns with each story. Travel to another dimension and meet strange characters, sometimes human, and at times not so human. They will make you question the solidity of the earth and mankind. Explore prejudice, fear, imagination, kindness, empathy, and human frailty. "The Truth Comes in Storms is wonderfully evocative -and the twist caught me completely unawares. Sheerin is a writer to keep an eye on!"- Rob Yescombe. Writer of the movie "Outside the Wire" These stories are strong echoes of the classic science fiction of the 1950's, and bring back fond memories of the Twilight Zone.-Noel Chidwick. Founder and editor of the award winning sci-fi magazine Shoreline of Infinity ....Sheerin's Sci-if shorts engage the mind and senses with dread and wonder at the same time. What happens on the moon....stays on the moon, even it's from different planets.- ARZONO Publishing "With a voice of clarity and surprise, Robbie Sheerin is well worth the quick and wondrous read each of his stories provides, the insight into our humanity (or inhumanity) they present, and the lasting impression they leave. Indulge and entertain yourself!" - Jason J. Marchi, author of Venus Remembered with Ray Bradbury and the Barnes & Noble recognized bestseller The Legend of Hobbomock: The Sleeping Giant. Robbie Sheerin's insightful story "The Protector" is a chilling tale that underscores humanity's most troubling shortcomings. At its core, it reminds us that we must remain open-minded and compassionate toward those who are "not like us" or suffer the consequences..... ..."The Future You Imagine, Doctor, Is Not The Future Of The Future" is inventive and imaginative. In my opinion, all tales about our future should be appropriately apocalyptic.They should shake the foundations of our hopes and dreams .....- Leith MacArthur, author of "The Death of Harry Crow", from The William Snow Series of thrillers.

Book excerpt: PETER BARBIERIS mesmerizing Book One of his trilogy depicts the resentment, suspicion, and intrigue that direct the lives of one Native American family living in North America prior to the European invasion. Book One begins with the birth of a son and ends with two brothers fi ght-to-the-death. The Purple Sky is an account of EMILY MADDINGs (b. 1765, d. 1857) dreamvisits to a small Native American village. In a manner most mysterious and uncanny, Emily lives the life of PALE-MOON, one of the villages women. Emily defi nes her relationship with Pale-Moon in this way: It is as if I am here now, on the tenth of January, 1806, sitting at my desk, living a life as wife and mother a life with a memory, history, and a fancied future and yet I am vaguely aware of a ubiquitous presence hovering in an indefi nable space; a presence that connects me to all that has been and to all that will be. In so far as the Native American woman is concerned, Emily is her ubiquitous presence, and she [Pale-Moon] is to a certain extent aware of it. Through Emily, Pale-Moon narrates the compelling story of her peoples struggle to maintain a harmonious existence within a world teetering on the brink of transfi guration. BARBIERIS previous works of fictionTales From the Soft Underbelly of Confusion, a collection of short stories, and Tree Of Dreams, a novelwere published by iuiverse in 2007 and 2009 respectively. Peter Barbieri received his doctorate in Music Composition from the University of Colorado, Boulder. He completed his post-doctoral studies with Luciano Berio in Florence, Italy. For the past twenty-fi ve years, Barbieri has been touring the United States and Europe as pianist/ accompanist for the Nancy Spanier Dance Company. Currently, Dr. Barbieri is the executive director of the ijamjazz summer jazz camp in Bonefro, Italy and teaches Jazz Th eory and Improvisation in Boulder, Colorado.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tonight, across America, countless people will embark on an adventure. They will prowl among overgrown headstones in forgotten graveyards, stalk through darkened woods and wildlands, and creep down the crumbling corridors of abandoned buildings. They have set forth in search of a profound paranormal experience and may seem to achieve just that. They are part of the growing cultural phenomenon called legend tripping. In If You Should Go at Midnight: Legends and Legend Tripping in America, author Jeffrey S. Debies-Carl guides readers through an exploration of legend tripping, drawing on years of scholarship, documentary accounts, and his own extensive fieldwork. Poring over old reports and legends, sleeping in haunted inns, and trekking through wilderness full of cannibal mutants and strange beasts, Debies-Carl provides an in-depth analysis of this practice that has long fascinated scholars yet remains a mystery to many observers. Debies-Carl argues that legend trips are important social practices. Unlike traditional rites of passage, they reflect the modern world, revealing both its problems and its virtues. In society as well as in legend tripping, there is ambiguity, conflict, crisis of meaning, and the substitution of debate for social consensus. Conversely, both emphasize individual agency and values, even in spiritual matters. While people still need meaningful and transformative experiences, authoritative, traditional institutions are less capable of providing them. Instead, legend trippers voluntarily search for individually meaningful experiences and actively participate in shaping and interpreting those experiences for themselves.

Book excerpt: The journey and the experience. Life as we know it, and the world around us, continue to inspire an incredible amount of questions even after thousands of years of technical innovation. Discovering answers to those questions sometimes completely alter the understanding of who we are spiritually, where we came from, and what our future holds. From building amazingly complex structures to exploring personal enlightenment, unanswered questions are capable of motivating the most astonishing feats ever known to mankind. Throughout a lifetime we are faced with moments that forever change us. In those moments we are given the opportunity to persevere; to adapt and overcome those obstacles placed before us. Contained within is a compelling, personal journey of clairvoyance experienced by the author, J.C. Vintner, in a transcendent rite of passage. The experience forever changed how Vintner understands mankind's place in the universe and prompted an extensive, ongoing research effort to explain the unexplained by means of relation and relativity. Along with Vintner's experience is the complete three volume ancient mysteries series including Ancient Earth Mysteries, Mysteries of the Universe, and Legendary Cryptids, expanded with additional research articles and notes. By opening pathways deep within the mind, expanding our perception of knowledge, and accepting alternative explanations to our existence, we may begin to recognize the ultimate beauty of our reality and the cosmos. Ancient World Mysteries explores these pathways by tapping into the knowledge of our ancient ancestors in search of a hidden truth able to explain our existence as one with the universe.
