Blake Carver has launched his new site LISWire this week. Working with Robin “birdie” Blum they are creating a site where businesses and individuals can send news releases and get them online and subscribable/linkable. I am looking forward to being able to send this URL to all the nice well-meaning people who send me press releases in email. I always write back to them, “this sounds great, do you have a URL where I can link to this information?” and now I can give them someplace to send it so it can be linkable by them and readable by others. Blake is inviting feedback on the new site, if you have a second, drop by and give him some critique.

In The Reincatnationist, Rose looks into a mystery that is thousands of years old. But unlike other books dealing with ancient historical mysteries, she focuses on an ancient pagan mystery. It was a refreshing change from all the Christian and Knights Templar stories that have proliferated in the past decade. It centers around a dig site outside of Rome where the last Vestal Virgin was buried alive after she breaks her vows and becomes pregnant. The book’s main character, Josh Ryder, has been having flashbacks to past lives for the past few years after a near death accident. Upon visiting the site, Josh knows he has been there before and believes that he knows who the woman’s skeleton they found is. She holds the secret of the Memory Stones. Death, thievery, and mayhem follow and soon Josh is intent on helping people that he believes he knew in previous lives. There is a madman who wants the stones and though he does not want people to die, getting the stones is more important that everyone. The present day story is interspersed with flashbacks of Josh and a few other characters to ancient Rome and to the US in the 1880s. It is a gripping tale although some of the plot lines were left dangling at the end of the story. Yet it does all come together to make a complete picture surrounding past life regression and the memory stones. The premise was interesting and delves into an area not often discussed in Western literature (or at least not that I have read). I hope that this will spawn other stories of its ilk.
