Book Cover & Preview Text
Myers took a deep breath and gazed at the mantles glowing brightly. There was something oddly reassuring about the hissing of the Coleman lantern, reminding her of her childhood and days spent camping with her parents. It seemed like a very long time ago to her, those carefree childhood days. The world was a much more complex place now and rapidly changing from one day to the next. She realized with sudden certainty that the Druids had it right. It was time for humanity to re-discover its roots; to embrace the simplicity of life by living in harmony and balance with Nature. It was all suddenly clear to her as she stared at the lantern. Humanity had lost itself in the fast-evolving technologies that had taken over people's lives. They had become dependent and addicted to technology and without it, people were no longer able to function, to do the simplest things for themselves! And she understood in that moment just what Gaia Magni was showing the world. Without all the technological advances we had become so dependent on, our species was more vulnerable than at any other time in our history. More vulnerable than any other species on the planet. Dependency, addiction, call it whatever you wanted. Myers suddenly understood what it was all about. Humanity was facing its own destruction, not because it lacked the scientific and technological ability to engineer its way out of the myriad problems in the world, but because of the technological advances that had been achieved within the last few years! Myers shook her head in wonder. But could Gaia Magni turn humanity away from its own destruction? Would the peoples of the world be willing to give up their smart phones, virtual reality devices and electronic bots to live in harmony with Nature? She very much doubted it. It would be like asking the people of the Renaissance to go back to living in caves! And yet, it would be a way forward...wouldn't it?

About the Book
Sacred Ground is the sequel to Death’s Bright Angel, Part One: The Prophecy. The novel incorporates characters from both the Blackthorn and Silverwood Trilogies., tying together all of the author's previous novels. There are two Time Streams: 2016 and 2018/19, so the past and present are juxtaposed. As the story opens, Dr. Glen Abbott has awakened from a coma following surgery to remove a benign lesion from his brain, only to realize that he is now living two plus years in the past (2016). His young daughter, Hannah, after her transformation into the supreme spiritual being, Gaia Magni, during Samhain, The First Rite of Winter (2018), has sent him back in time to relive a portion of his life over again to free him from the heartbreak and despair of losing his wife and daughter. But there are numerous challenges ahead for Abbott as he attempts to navigate his way through his second life with knowledge of the future before him. Gaia Magni is the fulfillment of a Druid Prophecy. A supreme spiritual being, she is charged with restoring harmony and balance to Nature and preventing an Apocalypse, a Sixth Extinction Level Event (ELE) as the result of humanity’s relentless assault on Mother Earth. Armed with the Wisdom of the Ancients and the power of Dark Energy, Gaia Magni is truly omnipotent with powers unimaginable. She begins her campaign to rescue Earth and the Biosphere by first demonstrating her power to the world by affecting a global blackout that turns the Earth into a Black Marble. Though an “enlightened spirit”, Gaia Magni makes it clear to everyone that she is prepared, if necessary, to wipe humanity from the face of the Earth in order to protect the millions of other species in the Biosphere on the brink of extinction as a result of humanity’s wanton destruction of the natural world. But there are those in governments and billion-dollar corporations who vigorously oppose the Rules of Natural Law that Gaia Magni has imposed and resist The Way Forward. They are intent on keeping their wealth and power at all costs, even if it means the end of humanity…
