WEX Club

Summer is in full swing at the Kempton clubhouse with the flowers and trees blooming, and the frog pond gurgling. The Arizona clubhouse has got its birds, snakes and scorpions now. No sign of the tarantulas yet. Hawks and vultures circle the skies.

We had a great trip to Athens and then to the Peloponnese and Delphi to look at the many megalithic sites in Greece in May. Check out future trips at: https://wexclub.com/events We had a fun autograph party at the Kempton Bookstore on June 3. Friend and fellow author Christopher Dunn showed up as well and autographed a few books. His new book, Giza: The Tesla Connection, is available for presale. Order it here: https://www.adventuresunlimitedpress.com/proddetail.php?prod=GTC

I will be a speaker at the Stairway to the Stars conference November 10, 11 and 12. It is at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas and my friends William Henry, Robert Clotworthy, Nick Pope and others will be there. Check it out at disclosurefest.org

There has been some pinball trading and we recently acquired a Cactus Canyon game with an Arizona theme of bandits, shoot-outs, saloons, dance hall girls and old mines. We also picked up a James Bond 007 game for the store in Kempton. Come on in and see if you have what it takes to be a Double-0. I was at History Channel’s AlienCon in Pasadena, California in early March. It was a good time with old pals Giorgio Tsoukalos, William Henry and Hugh Newman. Not sure when the next AlienCon will be, but I will let you know.

The bookstore in Illinois is open so take a nice summer drive in the country and visit. Stop in to browse and play one of the pinball machines. My latest book is The Bigfoot Files: The Reality of Bigfoot in North America. It is packed with the latest in bigfoot activity. It includes the Bigfoot FBI files and an 8-page color section.

My previous book, Andromeda: The Secret Files, is doing well. It covers the bizarre history of German flying saucer research and the mothership called Andromeda. Order a copy today!

The new Season 17 of Ancient Aliens is now airing on the History Channel. Check your local listings. There are more Ancient Aliens Live dates coming up in 2023 including shows in Seattle, Portland and Florida.

Adventures Unlimited and the World Explorers Club now have several YouTube channels.
