CHILD OF AQUARIUS book 2
Book two appetiser;
Josh Douglas
furrowed his brow and walked closer to Anderson; lowering his voice he answered
him
“What did
you say?”
“It’s over
josh, you’re going back to Sharlomy, this charade ends tonight”
Josh scowled
deeper and then pushed his face closer to Samuels face squaring up to him
“I would be
careful what you say to me ‘shift boy’”
“Pack your
bags Josh, you leave tonight” Samuel replied sternly
Josh looked
deeply back into his eyes and held the stare for a moment, Josh’s face looked
crazed, he then let out a low guttural growl and moved his top lip just enough
to reveal a set of fangs
“You forget
whose son I am”
Anderson
backed away from the confrontation and paused for a moment before replying
“Then start
acting as Viktor’s son, you bring shame upon his memory” he said with a
slight apprehension in his voice
“I will
revenge his memory! Any Empreen I find will perish for what they have done to
Viktor Drend”

Who I'd like to meet:
Who I'd like to meet:
Theirs a few people i would like to meet down a dark alley or at the north pole, they know who they are and i wont waste my time giving the mugs importance.
Spike Milligan with us on a night out in the west end, that would be a f..king laugh!!
ELVIS!! just to show him i can sing burning love better than him. Gorden Brown and all the slippery sell-out crooks he works with.
Micky Rourke in Sin City, he would make a good member of The Firm.

Friend of the Krays
IS BLOGGING THE LONLIEST PLACE IN THE WORLD
I cant stop laughing to myself that I might be going crackers! for days and nights now I have been sitting here writing BLOGS to what seems like and endless void of cyberspace.
Surely someone in this cyber universe is out there, surely someone finds me maybe just a small amount of interesting to comment to.
I cant help feeling that I am getting like one of those crazy people you see on the street corners or park benches, eyes all wild just talking to themselves!
I am laughing now thinking I must be bonkers!
oh well on the positive side, it has brought a smile to my face, I will just have to make sure this blogging lark does not turn into an obsession.
then I would really be in trouble, sitting huddled, eyes all manic tapping away to the stars with only a cup of coffee and a packet of cigarettes to comfort me and keep me company.
Blog mania! IT CAN BE A LONELY PLACE!

A Writing exercise in trending keywords
Let us see
who can write a short story featuring words that are trending on the internet
at the moment and the last couple of days.
Here goes;
Rhianna
gazed across the Twilight to the Niagara falls, she raised her hand and brushed away
the hair from her face which gave her a hair style like
Lindsey Lohan she smiled as she thought about what it had taken 2 get her here.
She wondered
why she was here, was the stranger who looked like Christiano
Ronaldo telling her the truth, was it believable that she would once
again meet with the stranger who had spent the night with her until the breaking dawn at Stone Henge on
last year’s summer solstice.
It had now
been a year since that night of glee where she
danced under the stars listening to Radiohead
blasting form her stranger’s car.
In that one
night she had fallen in love but by morning she was betrayed, she swallowed
hard as she painfully remembered waking to her stranger dancing with the
brunette who looked like Kristen Stewart, she
wiped away a tear remembering when the other girls around
began to laugh at her.
looking at
her watch she laid her eyes back onto the waterfalls, she smiled as she looked
at the cascading waters and marvelled at the colours 'fifty
shades of grey' she whispered to herself.
For the next
two hours she sat wondering why she had returned from her teaching job in Iran, she wondered and questioned if she was a fool to
think that her Dark knight would come for her.
How would
she react when she saw him? Or would this night end in another Greek tragedy?
Only time
would tell, one way or another this night would end in only one direction.
Zachania quote of the day!
What a toll this life takes from me, what of my soul, what toll will my children have to bear for my actions, self-doubt, I hate it, I detest it, what games my nature plays with me, I kill like no other man has killed before, then my soul rips me apart.

Great review posted for my book The Krays Not Guilty
This review is from: The Krays Not Guilty Your Honour (Series 1) (Kindle Edition)
A friend of mine recommended this book to me, and I'm so glad he did. As I've not read a book that has kept me on such a knife edge for a long time.I've never heard of the Author before, but apparently he is one of only a hand full of people who actually knew The Krays personally & this comes across in his very inventive writing. The story structure is well balanced, as it flows from situation to situation, without leaving you guessing. More like it kept me salivating for what was going to happen next.
The author builds up the tension & then BANG, it all kicks off, not just the once, but many times!
The way conversations are written in this book made me feel as if I were there in the room. It goes into graphic, bloody & bone crunching detail of what The Krays were like, dealing with "Business on their Manor".
A very harrowing and scary tale, not for the faint hearted. It also gives insight into how big the Krays empire could have grown, bent coppers trying desperately trying to fit people up, sarcastic humor & everything else involved in the sinister world of the underworld.
It may not be to everyone's taste, but I loved it & can't wait for the next book.
Better still, if the original film about The Krays is anything to go by, this would make an even better movie

WRITING AND MUSIC
When I am writing I like to make a soundtrack to set the mood for certain chapters or scenes of the book. I am currently writing a chapter from Child of Aquarius book three 'LOHAN's REVENGE'.
Zach Jensen and his group are flying into Niagara international airport to confront members of the Shalm, in my mind I am thinking about the Martha reeves and the vandals song 'nowhere to run'
I am thinking about the plane landing as this music is playing and then Zach and the group driving around looking for an address where the Shalm are supposed to be at.
Do any of you ever write to music?

ZACHANIA quote of the day
“Arun you have just proved
your substance as king, never forget that as king there are things that you
must do which you do not want to do, that is what makes a king, it’s the
ability to act when most men doubt”

CHILD OF AQUARIUS Description
Ever since mankind began to climb the ladder of
civilization we have asked why we are here.
Empires come and go; gods and religions are created then
denounced but the one thing which remains a constant in the development of
mankind is the burning question of what is the meaning of my existence.
We have documented our history and boxed it neatly into
various time periods.
The time of the pharaohs, the time of the Greeks, the
time of the Roman Empire, the middle ages, bronze age, the stone age to name
just a few.
Over the centuries we have gathered a mix match of
documented history filled with truths, fantasies and legend and called it our
history.
With this lack of substantiated material we find
ourselves awash with unanswered mysteries about our past and we still ask the
question of who we are.
We can place men on the moon, we can split the atom yet
still we cannot find our past.
With all the technology in the world today it is time to
ask yourself this question with your eyes open, it’s a simple question but has
so many different answers from so many different cultures and societies, in
Christianity we come from Adam and Eve.
The native Indians of America believe we come from the
stars and from their beliefs they have developed countless different beliefs
and religions, the feather religion, longhouse religion, drum religion, the
Indian shaker religion are just a few. Across the continents we have the Asian
beliefs where mortals are godlike as with the emperors of Japan and China.
In ancient Greece and Rome we have Zeus and Jupiter, in
Scandinavia we have Odin.
The mind of mankind is filled with legend and myths; it
is like we have been programmed to believe in some celestial being that rules
over us and dictates what we do and holds our fate in its hands. Every
civilization from every corner of the earth has its beliefs rooted with the
ethos of some kind of divine being or god.
If we step back and add all this data together we find a
parallel, a common bond where we can find that of all the beliefs there is
always something in common, it is the yearning or expectation that we are part
of something bigger or more powerful than ourselves.
What has been totally overlooked is the power of
evolution, it is the way of the universe yet we dismiss it for myths, fantasy
and faith.
Evolution has the power and the answers to solve all of
our questions, evolution over time enabled trees and plants to evolve with
spikes and thorns on their leaves to stop the dinosaurs from eating them, a
simple tree or plant, it had no brain or conscience yet somehow it sensed it
was in danger from the mammoth eating habits of the huge dinosaurs and it found
a way to survive, it found the way to exist.
Evolution gave insect’s wings and the power to fly;
evolution gave fish the ability to turn amphibian therefore allowing life to
exist on land.
How can this be answered, if we rationalize this it
cannot, but this is evolution, the same evolution that brought us from apes to
where we are now but with the trees it took millions of years to achieve, with
us we have done it much quicker.
In this book, ‘Child of Aquarius’ we discover our truths,
we discover what we really are, within this series of books we learn where we
come from and how evolution has pushed some individuals to the limit of our
capabilities as it has left others behind’ We discover the truth about the
myths of our nightmares, the vampires, werewolves, the truth about the dark
side of our character, Zachania and the lost histories of mankind.
And you will also discover the ancient and secret
societies of the Empreen and Shalm, and what is more startling you will
discover that not everything we know is not how we believe it to be.

Off Topic Dogs in the Park (A WAR ZONE)
Just got back from the local park with my Greyhound and four children and it was like walking in a jungle, my was attacked twice by a Staffordshire bull terrier and an English bulldog, the bulldog also knocked my 10 year old boy up in the air while he was playing football.
I am getting sick and tired of constantly entering a war zone every time my kids want to play in the park, something has to be done.
I had an argument with one of the dog owners and told him to put his dog on a lead when there are children around, his response was 'my dog has as much rights as your kids' I told him that my kids are hardly likely to rip the face or arm off of your dog'
every week we hear of someone poor kid being mauled by these dogs, I say if a dog is in a public park then he should be muzzled.
I am not kidding but the next time I go to the park I am going to take a hammer with me just in case one of these dogs attacks my kids or me, it is absolutely crazy that i will have to go 'tooled up' to go to the park.

Zachania quote of the day
I can hear the enemy across the battlefield, tonight we rest, we prepare, we steady our nerves, I wish morning was here, I wish I could hear the sound of battle, then there is no time to think, no time to doubt, no time for your conscience to play games with you, I wonder if they feel the same way, tomorrow they face the legendary Zachanian warrior, we are fearless, relentless, we never surrender, one Zachanian warrior is worth ten imperial soldiers but tonight as we all sit waiting for what horrors the morning will bring we are the same, just men, just men thinking of our loved ones, just men trying to sleep under the vast blanket of night.

WEB PROTACOL
Social media is driving me crazy!
I have spent the last two days trying to connect with people via;
Twitter
Facebook
Google+
Blogger
Wordpress
Now I know it has only been two days but i cannot get a single person to tweet, blog or add me!!
is there a special internet-cyber goof talk which I clearly lack?
I have followed this tweet and that tweet and cant even get a Hi from someone.
I have seen some awful boring tweets where hundreds of people are replying but not a soul in the whole universe is saying anything to me, I must be pushing the wrong buttons because I refuse to believe I am dull!
I have lived a very alternative life and (excuse the pat on the back) can, and do add some very humorous and enlightening topics to any conversation I enter into.
going to go back into twitter now and see if I can get a response!
wish me luck or am I just typing to myself, oh well Dallas is on TV in a minute so I can always go and talk to JR on the TV instead.

A NEW BEGINNING
It was prophesied that 2012 would be the end of the world!
Mankind is on the verge of something big, technology is moving faster than at any time in history.
What is now apparent is we are now very close to being ready top learn, to learn the secrets of our evolution and the secrets that have been hidden from us since time began.
2012 is not the end of the world by some catastrophic event, it is the end of the world as we know it.
