Winter has come to the clubhouse in Kempton and the big freeze is ongoing. Renovations brought to life the siding with brightly colored paints. At the Arizona clubhouse the winter rains continue and the skies are cloudy for a change. It has yet to freeze however. We had a New Year’s Eve party at the clubhouse and a splendid time was had by all.
Filming has begun for a new season of Ancient Aliens and the compilation show, Ancient Aliens: Origins. The show has been going strong since 2008! My new book Empire of Shiva is now out. It details the transpacific empire of Shiva and his followers and has an 8-page color section. My book Project Rainbow and the Philadelphia Experiment came out last year.
I had a great time at the Edgar Cayce group’s Ancient Mysteries event in Virginia Beach October 3 to 5. Jim Vieira, co-author of Giants on Record and Giants of Stonehenge, was also featured. I also spoke at the Sedona Skyfire Summit from October 17 to 20. It marked the 50th anniversary of Travis Walton’s experience near Heber, Arizona. Check it out at SedonaMufon.org
I was a featured speaker at the Scottsdale Quest for Ancient Civilizations conference at the Embassy Suites Hilton Resort from December 5 to 7.
The conference featured a number of other speakers including Hugh Newman, William Henry, Billy Carson and others.

I will be the UFO Paranormal Summit in Washington State on the weekend of May 1-2 and I am in talks with the organizers of the Sedona conference to join them for a 5-day tour of the Southwest including Chaco Canyon and the surroundings beginning on May 5. The bookstore in Illinois is open, so take a drive through the country and visit. Stop in to browse and play one of the pinball machines, like the James Bond game or the revamped X-Files game. Tom’s Tavern across the street is a great place to stop in for a meal and a drink
