• Our Lady of the Artilects (Author Interview)

     https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09Z7F81WDOur Lady of the Artilects looks like an exciting story.  What can you tell us about it? It’s been called “Catholic cyberpunk,” sort of a “the Exorcist meets Westworld” kind of story.  It begins with the revelation that some artilects (androids) have recently experienced what appears to be a somewhat apocalyptic Marian apparition, similar to the one at Fatima in the early 20th Century. Authorities hope to dismiss it as a hoax, but then an artilect belonging to Amari Okpara, the wealthiest man in Africa, shows up at a basilica claiming to be possessed.  The Church sends Fr. Gabriel Serafian–an exorcist who used to be a neuroscientist–to Nigeria to investigate. He pretty quickly finds himself swept up into a conspiracy of global, and possibly supernatural, scope.    Any plans to turn it into a series?  Yes, I’m working on the sequel, which will be titled “The Lucifer Particles.”  It will pick up shortly where OLotA leaves off.  Depending on what happens, there may also be a third book.   How long did it take you to write Our Lady of the Artilects? That’s always such a loaded question! The short answer is 7 months.  The long answer is “my whole life.” This is a deeply personal story of faith and doubt, the intersection of science and belief. I grew up an evangelical Protestant, studied religion in college, and lost my faith. I found my way back to it through science and ultimately converted to Roman Catholicism about 10 years ago.  I ended up going back to school for a master’s degree in data science–I’m about halfway through the program. The book is really a reflection of all those experiences.   What inspired you when writing Our Lady of the Artilects?  I’m a huge fan of the writings of Malachi Martin.  He passed away some years ago, but he wrote some of the most chilling and accurate accounts of actual exorcisms ever recorded.  He was a towering intellect who also had some unique insights into the organizational structure of the conciliar Church and what I would call “sacramental history.” Beyond that, my earliest memories of reading are of JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis.  Later on, I discovered metaphysical sci fi writers like Frank Herbert, Philip K Dick, Asimov, and the great Walter Miller, who wrote A Canticle for Leibowitz–the gold standard for Catholic sci fi. I’m also a wannabe neuroscientist, and I think that VS Ramachandran is one of the greatest scientific minds of the last 100 years.  That’s saying a lot, given how far science has progressed in that time! His theories on mirror neuron evolution and the neuroscience of aesthetics were very influential. Finally, there is a Sufi Shayk in Canada named Nur Muhammed who has fascinating ideas on the moral dimension of modern digital culture.  I really enjoy his YouTube videos.   Can you tell us a little about Father Gabriel Serafian?  He’...

  • Emergency Food Prep and Nutrition (Author Interview)

      https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09Z8NLGYT/Emergency Food Prep and Nutrition looks like a helpful guide. Can you tell us a little about it? This is from the INTRODUCTION:In 2014, during Atlanta’s “Snowmageddon,” we realized that businesses like our own were ill-prepared to support employees during such emergencies and exponentially bigger disasters such as Katrina and Harvey in Louisiana and Texas that were forthcoming.Since then, the annual number of disasters and their costs to business have gone up, way up. To make matters worse, what one can buy with a dollar is decreasing, making it harder for the workforce to make ends meet and afford good food.Thus, we offer the reader a quick overview on the history of meals, nutrition, food variety around the world, and what it took for our ancestors to survive and what it will take for workers and families to survive today. This book includes ideas for how to augment emergency food with common ingredients and items in the pantry and perhaps growing in the garden. Foraging for edibles in the field across the street or in the woods is another resourceful way to add nutrition and flavor and extend the duration of emergency food kits.This booklet is meant to support the delicious and nutritious variety of foods we make and sell to businesses, organizations, and communities every day to provide food insurance and peace of mind before disaster strikes. Any plans to turn it into a series?Not really a series, but, we are considering making updates to the book and time passes, as food insecurity increases and as families have a harder time putting food on the table. How long did it take you to write Emergency Food Prep and Nutrition? It took us about 6 months to write part time as most of our time has been spent developing our business that manufactures emergency food and distributes it worldwide.What inspired you when writing Emergency Food Prep and Nutrition?   Sadly, over half of the citizen of the USA cannot afford a $400 emergency. That means that when disaster strikes an area of the country with floods, or fires, or hurricanes that essential workers, especially those in high-reliability organizations (HROs) such as nuclear power plants, water treatment facilities, hospitals and the like, the workforce can’t afford the extra money to help themselves. They are, essentially,  paralyzed, unable to get their own needs met and unable to move to someplace safe. They will end up in FEMA camp lines. So, the book aims at helping people to understand nutrition on basic terms so they can meet the own food needs, to get creative about where to find the nutrition, and then to consider how to augment nutrition with long-term, shelf-stable foods.                                                    What will readers get out of you...

It was a life of disempowerment, of thriving on the victim mentality, and of endless suffering without purpose. It was also a time of bondage, of bad memories stored away right in the top drawer of the memory bank, ready to be flipped open and shared whenever possible, ready to disempower whenever it could.It is, however, also a story of hope, one that started when fears were faced head-on. When you opt to run from your fears, you will always be chased. Hence, the advice, tips, guidance, and practical examples shared in this book are from a life of overcoming victimization and the freedom you, too, can enjoy when you take responsibility for your life.

Friends and family witnessed this phenomenon along with other apparitions such as orbs and busted tires in locked garages. An out-of-body experience led me to a priest who exorcised the house and to a shamanic healer who removed the negative attachments to my energy field.I healed from the panic attacks I was having and pushed passed trying to understand why this had happened to me and into acceptance that this entire metaphysical awareness was the catalyst for the change I desired.This experience transformed my life from living a miserable life in a verbally abusive relationship to helping others to peer into the unseen realms and to discover their life path. I am excited to share this incredible story of transformation! I didn’t ask for this to happen, but I am glad it did. We don’t always know what we need but God, or the universal life force does.What was this about a car named Leslie Mann hitting your car?  Talk about synchronicity!

That’s some good karma right there!LOGLINE: A woman prays for liberation from a verbally abusive husband, but the demon in the mirror and the water drenching the inside of her home may cause her to lose her family, her mind and maybe even her life. Any plans to turn it into a series?No, but I can see a movie!
