I’ve been writing for what seems like forever. My mom taught me to read even before I started kindergarten, so I was highly praised in school for my awesome talent! My mother also read a lot, which made me want to read a lot, too. So I read and I read and I read. Finally, [...]

Mar 06, 2011 Neil Leckman rated it I enjoyed this book for several reasons, first and foremost would be the writing itself. If a book isn’t well written I’m falling away after the first two pages. Julie takes you for a ride that always surprises you, and leaves you wanting more. It is a vampire [...]
I would like to dedicate this book to my wonderful children, without whose support I couldn’t have done this. They are the light of my life. I would also like to dedicate [...]

Then she noticed a dark form standing just outside of the sliding glass door. Its eyes glowed red. She screamed and dropped the glass to the floor. A shard of glass bounced up and cut into her leg. Blood flowed from the wound. Paul slid the door open and walked in. His eyes were now their normal blue color. But something wasn’t right with him. He stared right through her. Then he saw the blood dripping down her leg. For the first time since she’d gotten to know him, she felt fear. Willa looked down at the glass on the floor. There was a good sized piece she could use to defend herself if she could get it in time. But Paul was next to her in an instant. He looked into her eyes as he bent over. Then he put a finger to the blood on her leg and lifted it to his lips.
“Just one taste,” he said. He put the finger to his tongue and closed his eyes. Willa held as still as she could. Paul seemed to savor the taste. After moments had passed he opened his eyes. They glowed red again.
“Paul?”
“Shhh,” he quieted her by putting his hand gently over her mouth. Her heart was doing double flips. Sweat made a sheen over her entire body. She could smell her own fear.
“Don’t be afraid,” said Paul.
He said it so calmly, she remembered thinking, although she was past thought at this point. She was going on pure instinct, and it was telling her to run. But she couldn’t move a muscle. Paul removed his hand from her mouth, still looking into her eyes. It was as if he were staring straight through to her soul.
That night, as they slept, Paul twisted and turned in the sheets. He saw a young boy; another student of his: Damien. They were feasting on rat’s blood together. Paul loathed rats. They didn’t even have that much blood in their veins. Besides, they gave him the creeps. Yet the two of them were bloodthirsty. [...]

An enthusiastic tale about the metaphysical. Some adventure; you can let your kids read it. If the metaphysical is your genre, this book would make an ‘eyebreak’ when you want something to read that not a text book.
One of the themes that resurfaces when there is a “new” prediction discussed is the idea of the “end of the world.” I’ve been reading quite a few since 2012 is “possibly” the year! You know, when we will all be gone… Myself, I don’t pay too much attention to these predictions, even though I [...]
Achterhoff has written a great science fiction piece. The book starts with a tsunami rushing to the beach of a southeast Asian coast. A team of researchers is investigating the possible cause of all the natural disasters that are happening with more frequency recently. Mel Hawkins heads a team of metaphysical scientists who are searching [...]
I feel this is a subject which should be imagined now, as we are on the verge of what this book is predicting. As Peter Lorre said in almost every one of his films, “We are Doomed!”
Quantum Earth is about a team of seven metaphysicians, lead by Mel Hawkins (“Hawk”) and Shauna Troy, investigating why the Earth is in peril. In light of the tsunami, earthquakes, volcano eruptions, and other natural catastrophes, many people are wondering if Armageddon is coming for real. Would 2012 be the end of the human race, [...]
“A team of metaphysical scientists is dedicated to finding out why the Earth is in crisis. The rate, size, and destructive power of hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions is out of control. All of these acts of nature have become more devastating to human life than ever before in history, but why? Is the [...]
