This evil table mentioned in this novel IS REAL. IT can be found in Parinacota, Chile inside the tiny village's adobe church. Still today, the people who live in Parinacota keep the little, wooden table chained to a wall inside the church to prevent it from roaming the streets and stealing souls. The picture on the back cover is the ACTUAL table. When I was looking for a story to write, I was inside the church of Paranicota. I asked the church-keeper why the ugly, old table was chained. The old chap readily replied, “The table, it is evil, it drags itself down the street and next morning someone inside the house is dead. You see? One of its legs, it is worn down from dragging itself.” I became interested in why the table why was evil and since when. No one from the little village knew the answer. Hence, I created that story. I started in modern day, and somehow ended back in 1712. I love the bygone days of tall ships so I got the idea and created my ship. Now, I needed a name for her and had already decided that it would also be the name of my novel. She was a carrack, grand and majestic, built in 1683. I searched the web to find what astronomic discovery was made that year: Stellar Wind. (Stellar wind is a flow of gas ejected from the upper atmosphere of a star).
To be as accurate as possible, I studied what sailors and people wore and ate back then, which ports were friendly, what was traded IN to and from the different ports, where pirates normally raided ships and their pirate lingo. It was important to know religious customs and where natives were uprising against the white man. The Mayans are weaved into the story along with Pacal Votan, the Long Count Calendar, the Dying World of the Fourth Sun, the different tribes in South America and more. This research was not only fun for me but also very enlightening. I hope that you enjoy Stellar Wind’s adventure as much as I enjoyed writing it.
A Federal Holiday on the calendar means nothing but dread in the city of Annapolis. Fear has been king ever since a black man in dreadlocks began snatching young girls on federal holidays. Any man with dreadlocks is a suspect, but only one in particular is targeted, Barry Duval. He is black and he has dreadlocks...reason enough, it seemed. The media tarnishes his good name to the point that he loses his job and was kicked out of his apartment while lying in the ICU, in a coma! Even after the FBI cleared his name, a nurse injected something into his IV, attempting to kill him. It was obvious then, that no one believed that he was innocent…except Mildred. Born and raised in Bay Ridge, Mildred Saunders, a USA Olympics Gold Medal winner has acquires a variety of psychic abilities after a near-fatal accident and today she is learning how to use them. Mildred realizes that her new gifts can help; she discovers where the abductor has been hiding. While Mildred helps Barry through hard times, he teaches her about something that she thought was a thing of the past: racism.
