Since I was a kid I have always been fascinated with space and what is beyond our solar system. Planets such as Jupiter were mysterious as to what was beyond the thick atmosphere of gas that swirled around the giant red storm. Mercury, the hot, molten rock constantly bombarded with radiation from the Sun seemed terrifying; yet somewhat unreal. However one planet has always been in the human eye, Mars. This red world so close yet so far away has always caught the imagination of scientists and authors alike.

George Lucas
Ok, this is dear to my heart. George Lucas has announced that he will absolutely never, ever, make another Star Wars movie! He is tired of the criticism from all the "prequel haters." It saddens me to hear this news and see what the mighty internet has done to a great mind like Lucas.
I sure was hoping to see a Knights of the Old Republic type movie someday. I have two great ideas. (1) He could let me do these movies. I have a story line already swirling around in my tiny cranium. (2) This is far the better idea. He could let his daughter Katie Lucas make three more set in the Old Republic time line. She did an awesome job on some of the Clone Wars story lines, especially introducing Savage Opress.
George, you inspired my imagination and gave me the courage to write my book in what I consider the same style of thinking. Thank you!

Adam
Well as I stated few posts back I will be revealing a little about my characters' personalities and past lives. I will not however give away too much to spoil the main story or give too much away for future books.
Adam was born December 15, 1997 in the small town of Hobbs, NM or so he was raised to think. His parents, Jason and Christina Dolby, chose Hobbs because of its location. They knew as well as Mentor that with its quite demeanor and low key location, that Adam would be hidden from King Distar's agents.
Adam was raised with the same values as other human children but somehow he knew things were different for him. Now Adam's powers never fully came to fruition until he was older but as a child certain did happen that made him wonder who he was. When Adam was 11 even unknowingly performed a miracle for a girl down the street. The little girl's cat had died from a car running over it but Adam was not fazed by the gruesome sight. He helped the young girl scoop up the dead cat and bury the her beloved pet. When Adam put the dead corpse into the ground a slimy goo crept through his hands and onto the cat but he only thought it was bodily fluids from the smashed animal. That night the little girl came knocking on Adam's door squealing with excitement. Mrs. Dolby called for Adam to come down from his room and as he the living room he was astonished to see the little girl holding the cat, but it was no longer dead. For nights he could not sleep as he wondered how this could be until finally he put it to rest years later and forgot the incident had happened.
Please post comments and let me know what you think.

2012
The famous and possibly fateful year is here, 2012. I'm not too sure if the Mayans have been misinterpreted or just misunderstood, but they were amendment about something great happening this year. Of course many of us know that our solar system will line up with the center of our galaxy and start the Winter Solstice but there are some that say it will start a cataclysm of devastation here on Earth.
I say hogwash! This has happened many times before and look; the Earth is still here. Now will something miraculous happen? Who knows. I for sure cannot wait till December, 21st, 2012.
I will however continue to write the remainder of The Codex and will luck start carving out the continuing story of my characters from Planet X The Annunaki Wars. Plus look out for more book giveaways this month!

Character Profiles
I've been thinking of new ways to draw in readers, but I had kept hitting wall after wall of nothingness. Then it hit me. What is it that intrigues readers to a story. The characters! In my book, Planet X The Annunaki Wars, I gave some insight into who my characters are, but left a lot of mystery to where they had been. So in the coming weeks I will posting character bios here on my blog. Now the question is: "Who do I start with?"

The Codex update
Chapter 3 of The Codex has been uploaded to my website. Head on over to planetxbooks.com and check it out.
Many of you are probably wondering what The Codex is about and how it ties into The Annunaki Wars. The Planet X universe has a wide array of wonderful characters that I have wanted to expand upon. I think we have all tried to image how and why a character has gotten to a certain point in their lives, but in the end it's all up to the author of the story to give the readers something more solid. One such character I wanted to evolve was Coldor Vam; the despicable, vile, and selfish alien soldier from The Annunaki Wars. In the book I touched on the fact he has a relationship with Vulpina and he has other agendas in mind other than enslaving the humans. I felt like he would be a hated character for his deeds and I wanted to give readers a different perspective of why he is the way he is. Plus The Codex also ties into King Distar's eventual invasion of Earth. So head on over and read Planet X The Codex and feel free to post comments here or on facebook as well.
