There is a lot of interest these days in space exploration. After 50 years, we are looking at going back to the Moon to build a base and planning early for a manned trip to Mars. After that, further exploration and settlement of the Solar System will be on the table. One of the main limiting factors for all of this space exploration are the types of rockets and rocket engines available to get there.

A manned mission to Mars has been the dream of humanity at least since the 19th century, when we first saw details of the surface and thought there might be canals filled with water there. Here I’ve looked at the history of unmanned exploration of Mars over the last 50-plus years, proposed missions to Mars, Mars settlements, and other major issues regarding traveling to and living on Mars. Some proposals have lots of details of proposed scenarios, if you want to know all of the engineering and scientific analysis work.

I’m also a Reiki healer and have experimented a lot with vital forces and different healing methods. In looking at all the books available on this topic I saw a lot focusing on the spiritual aspects and some focused on chakra usage or Reiki healing. What I didn’t see was an overview and history of the whole topic to help people understand how spiritual and energy healing developed and how it fits into the science and medicine of today. There is also a need to see how spiritual and energy healing integrates with other medicines to improve a person’s long term health.

As I write this in May of 2020, the annual travel season is upon us. There are travel guides on lots of subjects and locations. This book is kind of an unusual travel guide to ancient and (mostly) unusual sites in the USA. Most persons think that the United States doesn’t have much in the way of ancient ruins, and they would be wrong. There are amazing ruins all over the country, and some are not even accepted by conventional archaeology or anthropology as being real. These sites are fascinating and some are mysterious in terms of who built them and when?

I love creativity. Creativity has become a big part of my life. I can’t imagine life without fundamental creativity. Being creative is a way to express yourself to the world. Many consider that only the arts offer an avenue of creativity, but they would be wrong. And many people think you are born being creative or not. That you can’t change your level of creativity. This is not true. You can definitely improve your creativity and use it in your professional or personal life.

I’ve written a number of books on longevity and immortality. But I’ve only had some partial chapters on long-lived plants and animals. This is an important subject because all of this life is based on the same DNA code we have in our own bodies. If this life can live for hundreds or thousands of years, then this says that it is possible for humanity to live that long, also. Here I’ve researched and included lots of specimens of animal and plant life which represent the extremes of longevity for widely varying life.

Many of my friends who know me well and know some of my experiences insist I should write an autobiography because many people will find my stories fascinating. My life has been about my spiritual and paranormal explorations of the world and studies of our universe. These stories include a spirit attacking me, many prophecies of mine - some of which saved my life - a fight with a bear in the wilderness, and many other strange experiences, including a spiritual-enlightenment event and specific memories from before, during, and just after my birth.

In this book I present the listener with four sources of proof that aliens and UFOs have been on the Earth for not only thousands, but millions of years. The first source is about giants existing on this Earth not only thousands, but millions of years ago. It was before humanity existed. Giant footprints have been found in stone in many cases, which is strong evidence that alien giants existed back then, who walked the Earth. I hope you enjoy the evidence collected here, and if you are already knowledgeable about this subject, maybe you will find something new.

Thunderbirds are giant birds which have been known by the North American Indians from time immemorial. These birds are part of the culture, totem poles, and Indian history and mythology. The giant birds have also been seen in modern times. Some observers say they are just giant, regular birds, while others say they have the appearance of pterodactyls. In this book, we review American Indian beliefs and legends about these giant birds. We also review the many reports not only in North America, but all over the world of giant birds and/or flying reptiles.

This book covers the best evidence I can find on the reality of ghosts and spirits. In 1975, while in college, I had an adventure where I was attacked by some type of entity.It is not the focus of this book, but I do believe that entities can invade and take over people’s minds. These may be what the ancients called demons. In 1980, while on a trip to Israel, I also took a picture in front of the Holy Sepulcher Church which showed some type of entity or spirit very clearly. There is a lot of evidence that ghosts or disembodied spirits exist, so we cover many ghost pictures.

I love investigating out-of-place artifacts. The idea that they exist in contradiction to many accepted theories of our history says to me that we don’t know the real history of humanity and the Earth that we thought we did. In this book, we cover some well-known and documented devices like the Antikythera Mechanism, and others that may be unknown to most of you.

In this book, we will cover some of the amazing facts about the moons we know about, many of the amazing objects around our star the sun, and colonization ideas around the solar system. Even though mankind dreams of someday traveling to the nearest stars, our solar system has enough places to visit and colonize for thousands of years. This book lays out the structures and objects of the solar system in detail and discusses which parts of it we should colonize, build on, or mine.

I was curious about the reality of many claims over the centuries of sea serpents or large ocean monsters, so I thought I’d research this subject myself. There were many amazing stories, such as the giant whale which attacked a ship in the 19th century. This event was the reason Herman Melville wrote the book Moby Dick. There are many records of giant fish and serpents in the water. The question is which of these have some basis in reality. In this book, I tried to do some comprehensive research on the giants of the deep. I hope you find this interesting.

In this book, we examine the history of dragons, stories about them, and evidence for their possible existence.

Man’s climb from animals to modern humans is closely related to the usage of fire. We would probably not have survived through history without the command of fire.

In this book, we cover the paranormal ability of levitation. Levitation has been reported throughout history from stories of Christian saints, Indian gurus, and many more people.

I want you, the listener, to learn about some of the most fascinating stories I’ve read in science fiction and fantasy so you can enjoy them yourselves. I’ve also reviewed Hugo Award winner novels to see if I had overlooked any authors. The most important Hugo Award winners are also included here.

The book/ebook/audiobook market has continued to advance and change. There are also some new markets like audiobooks that have taken off like a rocket in the last few years. My own experience has also evolved as I continue to self-publish new books and gain more experience with additional sales channels. There are many books available to tell you how to make money and have fun writing your own book. However, many of these books become out of date quickly as the market evolves.

NASA has plans to land on the Moon again in 2024 and then build a Moon base following that. What is the history of plans to build a base on the Moon and what are all the issues involved? Where should the base be built and what will be do once we have long term habitation on the Moon? There are lots of ideas and lots of issues to consider. My hope is that the reader will learn about all of the issues important to building a Moon Base to better understand what will be required. You might even want to become a Moon Base resident!

Overall, this sequence of books shows that there is a theme throughout history that aliens have affected humanity, not only since Homo sapiens evolved but even well into pre-history to hundreds of millions of years ago, when animal life didn’t yet exist on Earth’s land. That giants lived on the Earth back then and had their own civilizations. Our civilization today is, in many ways, a result of our interactions of aliens for our entire history.
