What
inspired you to author this book?
At an early age, I
began experiencing unexplained situations that caused me a lot of anxiety. I
passed these moments off as growing pains. In 2007, I photographed my first
apparition (ghost) images in a screened window (not a glass plate window).
Their images were clear. This is what sparked my interest in investigating the
paranormal. 100+ experiences later and 3-4 extraterrestrial visitations, I had
so many experiences that I needed to get them down on paper. My stories to date
have turned into ten illustrated books.
Where
did you get the inspiration for your book’s cover?
Book 10 artwork cover
was inspired when I was choked in bed by an unseen force (three times). This
book is a typical flavor of the many stories you hear when someone isn't
careful enough in their investigating or ridding unwanted spirits.
Who
has been the most significant influence on you personally and as a writer?
I do not have one
significant influence. I admire people who have the gift of artistry but
struggled to perfect their craft. To me, this reflects the strength of
character while overcoming the usual obstacles (wanting to be seen or heard). I
recently spoke to Terry Fator, famed ventriloquist, who inspired me to stand up
in front of a paying group of people (this UFO conference requires paid tickets
to see me) and to just do my best. I am inspired by many who take their
interest seriously.
What
were your struggles or obstacles you had to overcome to get this book written?
My books are
self-published, non-fiction. I did not have too many obstacles to overcome. I
simply sat down and began writing. Some of my most frightening experiences,
though, were difficult to process again because they were difficult to live
through the first time. Reliving terrifying memories is always the most
challenging.
Paranormal Encounters:
Message Received is a non-fiction book containing several true accounts about
the experiences I had with the paranormal and extraterrestrial. My book, like
all the others, begins by sharing the story, notes definitions to help
understand or do an analysis of the situation, debunks and questions the
experience, and then, wraps up with final thoughts. By the end, my goal is to
educate the reader about the phenomena or possible alternatives of what may
have occurred in that situation.
Who
is your target audience, and why?
Target audience for
this book is anyone who is a believer in the paranormal and wants to learn more
about types of experiences to make sense out of their own.
What
do you consider your greatest success in life?
Marrying my husband.
Outside of that, achieving many advanced degrees, being able to immerse myself
into my passions, travel, and being who I was meant to be, me.
What
one unique thing sets you apart from other writers in your genre?
I cannot answer this
question for this reason -- in this field, we learn from each other and
appreciate what we learn from each other. I am a contributor and experiencer in
this phenomena.
This week is exciting as I launch my new novel A.D.A.M. THE BEGINNING OF LIFE. Only another author knows how antsy we get the week of launch. We become this way because we have put our heart and soul into our book and we want people to like it. For them to be able to that, someone has to read it, which means that the novel has to be purchased. It's not easy writing a book much less launching one to the best-seller list. We can't do it alone and that is why we form book launch teams to help us. Will you help me launch A.D.A.M. THE BEGINNING OF LIFE by forwarding this blog and the link to purchase the book to your friends and family after you purchase the book?
Several years back Jack Curenton and I co-produced a sizzle reel film for A.D.A.M. Gary Sievers was the Director of Photography. Take a look at some of the photographs taken that day that features D.H. Lewis, Jamie Alyson, and Stephen Beal in the roles of Dr. Sandra Bradford, Jessica Parker, and Dr. Peterson respectively. That day was a lot of fun.
THE REAL SCIENCE BEHIND A.D.A.M. THE BEGINNING
Sometimes the truth
is stranger than fiction. In this case, it is. The inspiration for this
fictional novel, A.D.A.M. came from a scientific discovery by Dr. Felisa
Wolfe-Simon, a NASA Astrobiology Research Fellow in residence at the U.S.
Geological Survey in Menlo Park, California and the research team’s lead
scientist who, in 2010, discovered a new life form that thrives off arsenic in
the bottom of Mono Lake, California. Her discovery led to an international
debate on what defines life.
The majestic and colossal monolith limestone crystals,
calcium-carbonate spires and knobs formed by the interaction of freshwater springs and alkaline lake, mark the area
called the Mono Lake Tufa State Reserve.
Mono Lake, CA – Picture by Ian
Parker of Evanescent Light Photography.
Taking up sixty-five
square miles, the area looks like an alien world, is over one million years old
and is one of the oldest reserves in
North America embracing over one thousand plant species, including algae; four
hundred recorded vertebrate species, including brine shrimp, alkaline flies,
and fourteen different ecological zones within its watershed. It is an
astonishing ecosystem where birds in the
area can thrive without having to fight fish for food.
In 1872, Mark Twain wrote about his
impression of Mono Lake and said, “It lies in a lifeless, treeless, hideous
desert,” not being impressed when he traveled to the area. “This solemn,
silent, sailless sea—this lonely tenant of the loneliest spot on earth—is
little graced with the picturesque.” Like an alien world, the murky waters of
the lake crawls with trillions of microbes and life forms. The
“venomous waters are nearly pure lye” and twice as salty as seawater complained Twain. “There are no fish
in Mono Lake--no frogs, no snakes, no polliwogs--nothing to make life desirable.” In the middle
of the lake is an island covered with ash and spitting hot springs, and it is
here where A.D.A.M. begins. The findings challenge the definition of life for
the scientific community.
There are six basic building blocks of all
known forms of life on earth - carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus,
and sulfur. When Dr. Wolfe-Simon
conducted tests on the microbes from Mono Lake water samples, she discovered
the first known microorganism on earth to reproduce and survive using arsenic.
Unlike our carbon-based life forms,
humans, this microorganism substitutes arsenic for phosphorus. Oddly enough,
arsenic lies just below phosphorus on the periodic table. Ed Weiler, NASA’s
associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate,
said, “The definition of life has just expanded. As we pursue our efforts to
seek signs of life in the solar system, we need to think more broadly, more
diversely, and consider life as we do not know it.”
Let’s ask the question
if an extraterrestrial alien came to earth, would it be able to breathe our air and survive? What would be the
odds? According to David Catling, a planetary scientist at the University of
Washington in Seattle, the answer is that it’s likely they could. How? Catling
contends that their species would have evolved to use molecular oxygen for
respiratory metabolism. In an interview,
Catling said, “There’s wide agreement that life originated without oxygen. But to
get complex life – mobile, multi-cellular organisms with specialized differentiated
anatomy, you need oxygen.” Therefore, scientifically oxygen is needed for
metabolism to occur. Oxygen is the best element on the periodic table to
produce abundant amounts of energy, that in turn allows humans, our species, to
evolve. In a sense, Darwin’s evolution comes into play. It is this same belief
that once oxygen came into the picture, it allowed them to evolve as well –
meaning they too would be able to breathe
oxygen.
When you research the
viability that oxygen and energy creates an environment conducive for
evolution, the concept brings us to the
arsenic driven microbe discovered on the bottom of Lake Mono in 2010 by Dr.
Felisa Simon-Wolfe. If Catling is correct, once a non-oxygenic (or anaerobic)
microbe encounters oxygen it can or will evolve to become something significant or more complex.
Victor Thannickal, a Professor of Medicine at
the University of Alabama at Birmingham said, “From accumulating geological
evidence and biological plausibility, it’s becoming increasingly clear that
oxygen sparked speciation and the evolution of more complex earth forms,” that new
life dawns. Catling speculates that some six hundred million years ago when Ediacaran organisms first encountered
atmospheric levels of oxygen, they evolved most likely by relying upon
diffusion of nutrients through their skin because they had no mouth or nose. As
they developed, so did our planet’s
oxygen levels, and it was only then that oxygen breathing species evolved, including our own. In hindsight, it
appears that the writers of the early black and white film era got it right.
Aliens and creatures could breathe oxygen on earth.
Dr. Felisa Wolfe-Simon said, “If something
here on Earth can do something so unexpected, what else can life do that we
have not seen yet?” In A.D.A.M., the scientific discovery by Dr. Felisa
Wolfe-Simon propelled into the science fiction arena when the microbe develops
from its original microbe state with the ability to morph, transform, and
breath oxygen. In essence, a new life form challenging the long-held scientific
belief of what constitutes life.
A.D.A.M. is an acronym for Arsenic Driven Astrobiological Microbe. As the life form develops, my
fictional protagonist, Dr. Sandra Bradford, builds and establishes a bonding
relationship with him. Over seven days, she and Adam, the name she gives to the
life form, explore a range of human emotions including love, pain, hate, fear
of death, and confront the question of whether
there is a God.
A deadly cover-up conspiracy is born when Dr. Bradford becomes caught between one of the
most important scientific discoveries and the government’s fear of it.
The novel explores the reality of finding an alien life form, and explores what
if the microbe developed when introduced to oxygen, what would it become, and
what would be the impact on humanity? Are we alone in this universe?
