Hi Christine, so nice to hear from you! I am very much enjoying Briggen. It has a lot of similarities to Star Trek in the world Ann has created (I am a big Star Trek fan!), she has created a very rich world...
I look forward to comparing notes with you :)

God's Gift
Little baby on the hay,
soon there'll be another day
when nails shall pierce You hands
and feet as You provide our sin's defeat.
Risen Jesus on the throne,
we lift our praise to You alone-
for You're the gift that we receive
the moment that our hearts believe.
-Roy Lessin
This Christmas,as you consider all the awesome things that have come to you through Jesus,God's perfect gift,remember that it is but a taste of all the good things yet to come.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

SECRET OF THE SANDS by Rai Aren and Tavius E.Welcome to Egypt’s hidden past.
Sometimes the past is better left buried.
In an Egypt before pharaohs and pyramids, a mysterious civilization nearly changed the course of mankind. Now its secrets are about to be unearthed – but is the world ready for the consequences?
Inspired by the best parts of Indiana Jones, The Mummy and National Treasure, Secret of The Sands by co-authors Rai Aren and Tavius E. is a captivating hybrid of science-fiction, historical fiction and mystery. The story covers a time before what is in the history books, giving authors Rai Aren and Tavius E. the freedom to propose explanations for many of ancient Egypt’s unknowns still shrouded in mystery today.
The most unique aspect of Secret of The Sands is the dual intertwined storylines. Questions asked in the present are revealed as the past unfolds, slowly inching towards the stunning revelation. Who was this civilization really and where did they come from? What went wrong? Will they ever return and finish what they started?

Hi Rai,
I'm glad that i heard about this site on the Amazon forums. The people seem nice, and i've had an increase in book sales since i became active here (maybe a coincidence, or maybe because we're entering the holiday season), but i hope it keeps up.
How is your next book coming along?
I'm about 90% done with the sequel to Harbinger of Doom. I'm trying to get it done by the end of the year, but that may be too optimistic.
regards,
glenn g. thater

Thanks Rai for the warm words of encouragement. You don't know how much I truly appreciate it.
I'd love to stay in touch. I'm sure I'll have loads of questions before long and you're wonderful to offer your help. God bless you!
Hope your weekend is awesome.
Blessings,
Jeannie
Hi Rai and thanks for adding me as a friend. I went to your website and it's so cool. If you have time I'd love for you to visit mine. www.jeanniebarber.com I'm currently co-authoring a novel with a friend of 30+ years. I'm open to any suggestions, also.
Blessings,
Jeannie
