OK, I know. It's been two weeks. I'm such a bad blogger these days. In my defense, I only have a few daylight hours off of work this week, and the same next week! So, honestly, updates might be sparse.

I do have some good news, though. Book of THoTH: Wisdom of the Ages article winners addresses have been sent along to Reality Entertainment, and prizes should be in your mailboxes soon! The final typos and spelling edits are being done as I write this, and the book should be in publication very soon.

The upcoming UFO DVD is also in final editing stages, and a new DVD, on ghosts this time, is just beginning to ramp up with ghost hunting expeditions being filmed in the UK right now.

In other news, I have a question for all the knowledgeable people out there. Recently Book of THoTH has been defamed as a "psy-ops site" but a site called "Signs of the Times". I guess it's run by someone who claims to channel Cassopeians, so I think they're off to a dubious start right there in my mind. However, if anyone out there has any experience with them, I'd be curious to hear about it. Going on the their forums and discussing it with them is kind of like bashing your head against a brick wall...

One last thing for the day. I'd like to send some well wishes to a couple of people I consider my on-line friends out there who are having rough times. Mac Tonnies has been battling tinitus. Gary Osborn was having some problems with a sick family member last time I heard from him. My friend Kathy has had numerous close friends die or get diagnosed with cancer lately, and my longtime friend WhiteTiger from Book of THoTH has had serious heart problems for a while now, and has dropped off our radar. I wish each of you the very best with what you're going through.

Of course, lots of people are still e-mailing and asking questions about The Book of THoTH article competition, which just ended.

If you were a winner, and you submitted an e-mail address, you should have received an e-mail confirming that your article will be in the book by now. As the e-mail stated, you'll need to send your address back so that you can receive your prizes, which, will be two DVD's, 6 CD's, and a grab bag of other prizes for most people, from Reality Entertainment. These prizes will be sent to you first, and then as soon as the book is published, you'll also be receiving a copy of it.

If you haven't received an e-mail, and you submitted an article, please check the list of winners to see if your article is among them. If it is, please send me an e-mail immediately using the "e-mail me" button in the right hand sidebar of this blog, and we'll get you taken care of.

If you weren't a winner, don't fret. The articles were so excellent that Reality Entertainment has confirmed that there will be a Volume Two! We'll be announcing details later in the year, but we will feature another article competition coming up this year, for another book to be released next year sometime.

The winners of the big Book of THoTH competition have been announced!

I've been flooded with e-mails and communications from people wanting to know about their articles and the big Book of THoTH competition.

Well, good news is finally here. We are gearing up to announce the winners very soon. Even better news for all you authors out there, is that Reality Entertainment has agreed to more than double the size of the book. Instead of 20 published articles, there will now be 50! Each winner will not only get their name and article(s) in the book, but a prize pack will be furnished by Reality Entertainment as well.

All of you eager authors won't have to wait much longer. Winners will be announced on the Book of THoTH front page, and each will receive an e-mail as well. Thanks to everyone who submitted an article. They were all such a joy to read through. There's really a lot of talented authors out there who deserve a chance at being published, and hopefully for those of you who wish to follow that path this will get you a foot in the door.

Last, but certainly not least, each of the sites/people listed below has been instrumental in assisting us with getting out the word on this competition, and we would like to thank them for helping out along the way. You'll be seeing each of their names and urls in the book, as well.

All I've got to say today is CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who managed to write an article for the big Book of THoTH book competition. I'm truly in awe of all the great articles, and, for all of you who are wondering, I promise every article will get read, accepted if it's acceptable, and the winners will be announced very soon! So, keep an eye on your e-mails, and if you've changed e-mail addresses since you entered the competition, please just send me along an e-mail and tell me your new one. I'm certainly looking forward to reading all the articles. As you might assume, we got a lot of them(I think I've got it at about 120), so the judges are going to be quite busy!

Good luck to everyone!

Over at Book of THoTH Mr. Bourne, aka. THoTH, has posted a very interesting article along with photographs of an unknown flying object which he took while out with his fiancee on the 16th. The pictures and the story seem to be quite anomalous, leading him to believe that perhaps he snapped off some legitimate unknown craft photos with some military crafts in the vicinity. You can check out the article along with the pictures right here.

Also, please don't forget that the book competition ends in just over a week, so if you want to see your articles in print, make sure you finish them up and submit them by the end of the month!

I've got some important Book of ThoTH news today. There's only about two weeks left in the book competition, so make sure you get those articles in to the site in time! I know I've got some work to do...

I hope everyone's having a nice holiday season. Things are looking up on the knee injury front, so maybe I can actually get back to regular posting here!

First off, before I get to updating today(hopefully...anyone else having problems with super slow publishing lately on blogger?), I wanted to sincerely thank my girlfriend, Jessica, and Gary David for getting together and getting me a signed copy of The Orion Zone for Christmas. That was a wonderful and thoughtful gift! I'll certainly be reviewing it right here in a couple of weeks along with two other books.

Hopefully, I'll also be submitting at least one, and hopefully more, article(s) in the last month of the Book of ThoTH competition. Only one month left, so if you're thinking of writing something, hurry up and get it in!

Here's the latest graphics and preview for the upcoming book release of Book of THoTH: Wisdom of the Ages. I really think this is going to be a fascinating book on a wide variety of paranormal and scientific topics...even if none of my articles make it in there! Hehe

Check it out right here

First off, there's a big announcement on the book competition for the upcoming book, Book of THoTH: Wisdom of the Ages. The competition has been extended for one month, until January 31st! Reality Press was so happy with the entries so far, we've decided to do one more month to let some more people get in on the competition. So, make sure you get something entered, get published and win some cool prizes!

On the front page of Book of THoTH right now there's some excellent articles. There's two in-depth interviews from MAD. The first one is an interview with actor Michael Moriarty titled, "Set in Stone" and the second one is called "Planting the Flag" and it's with Henry Rollins.

The other two articles currently on the front page are both by one of my favorite authors; Mr. Gary David. He's got an excellent article that ties in with some of my writings and thoughts(which of course I've come to find out that he wrote and thought about first. Great minds, you know...) called "Orion’s Global Legacy: A Celestial Plan?" This is a nice look at the global influence of Orion, and some thoughts as to why it appears to have been so popular all over the ancient world. The second article that he has up is "The Anthills of Orion" which takes a look at the fascinating story of the Ant People of the ancient Hopi culture. Both are must reads.

Thanks to Jezzie for pointing out that I had a link to Renderosity for the other winners of the cover competition which you had to be registered there to see.

Of course, we have the winners in the Book of THoTH gallery as well, and you can look at them without registering. Enjoy! They were all really good.

Two big announcements today!

The cover for the upcoming book The Book of THoTH: Wisdom of the Ages has been chosen in the cover competition hosted by Renderosity. The first place winner, and the featured cover is right here:

I know Philip Gardiner and Michael Bourne had a hard time deciding on a winner, and six other entries each received prizes as well.

A big thanks to everyone who participated in the competition, the entries were amazing, and we ended up with over 200 of them!

Don't forget, there's still time to get your article entered into the competition to get it published in the book. That competition ends December 31st, and we've had some wonderful articles submitted so far. I'm really looking forward to seeing what comes in over the last five weeks. With any luck I'll even get an article or two of my own entered this week.
