Dream worlds, the lost continent, and lovely ladies.The fourth novel is about another type of journey. . . one that takes you to someplace very familiar and yet . . . very far away. It is a time-travel novel which sends our hero, Tyler Grant, reeling back to his past fourteen years ago. This is OF TIME AND THE DREAMER, a novel told from a male and a female third-person point of view (except for some notes and memoirs made by Estra Gudrun). With the help of a dream researcher and experimenter, Tyler volunteers to be sent through his own dream corridor to his own past. The first two journeys are successful, but the third is brought about by a car collision where someone apparently tries to kill him. His body is in a coma in an Atlanta hospital and his mind is floating free, connecting finally with his life as a graduate student at a southern Illinois university. The interesting thing is . . . he knows what is going to happen. . . he knows what everyone is going to say. What he does not realize is that he will soon not be alone in his own past. Others will join him from his own world in the present. Be prepared for the journey of your life.This novel unfolds inside your eyelids . . . in your psyche. We all have pasts . . . some less pleasant that others. Would you want to be trapped in your past and forced to re-live it . . . in a parallel dimension?The fifth journey is a different kind of adventure -- the discovery of an ancient village inside the earth that may be a remnant of the original destroyed civilization of Atlantis. What begins as a search for a missing British explorer turns out not only to be a violent struggle between members of two search parties but mainly the discovery of an extraterrestrial device that can act as a time machine. Sloan Abbott connects with this device and travels back to the original Atlantis, only to realize that he and others in the search party have connections there. He sees the actual lost civilization and as well as ancient versions of two of his colleague who are occupying ancient versions of themselves. In fact, he also has an antediluvian counterpart whose body he is inhabiting. The question is . . . can any of them survive the impending destruction of Atlantis? This e-book novel is titled FROM HERE TO ATLANTIS.For some reason, Sloan Abbott cannot give up traveling through time as he demonstrates in RACING AGAINST TIME, an e-book novel using a phrase that often shows up when descriptions for certain films use the phrase "races against time." Instead of going into the past to visit ancient Atlantis, his time-traveling ability acquired by his past journey takes him this time to the future and ends up in a post-apocalyptic world. He jumps two years at first with his young girlfriend Mina; he and Mina then become separated until he and a friend, Warren, rescue her. They are taken by Dr. Gillian Nash (who is rescued along with Mina) to a mysterious island where the Elite populace that considers itself to be superior to humans from the mainland. Mina is kidnapped by people from two more years into the future and Sloan is sent by Dr. Nash to find her and learn more about this society that has connections with not only ancient Sumer but also ancient Atlantis. In this story, you will learn never to look at text messages in the same way, particularly if you discover than they come from the future.

All of the photos below were taken in China and in the Philippines. The first photo was taken in Anshan, the second in Liaocheng City. The photo of Holden, my ginger tabby cat, was also taken in Anshan. Actually, a cat does appear as a character in the third novel in the trilogy, DARK JOURNEYS. The three lovely ladies have counterparts in CIRCLES AND REALMS, the sequel to FROM HERE TO ATLANTIS titled RACING AGAINST TIME, and THE DARK JOURNEYS SERIES which now includes a fourth novel entitled DARK TWILIGHT.

Dark NeighborhoodsThe Dark Journeys Trilogy is now available on Amazon-Kindle.Anyway, the first novel, as you know by now, is the one shown on the right. It introduces Dr. Harper Paget and his friends from McAbee University back in Illinois (where Harper is from). In Atlanta, Georgia, to do research, he and friends believe that they have opened a gate to admit these dimension-traveling entities. However, they have been around since ancient Greece, taking the forms of mythological creatures, and have been able to re-appear in different times in history. As it turns out, they have been battling with Harper's family for generations, and now he must deal with them in the form of the hideous kuntilanak creatures from Indonesia. In murderous fashion, they strive to take over the funky, eclectic area of Atlanta known as Star Cross Corners. Their ultimate goal, Harper learns from research and an Indonesian lady, is to take over a world which humans have not taken care of.Star Cross Corners is a suitable Gothic setting for the creatures who descend upon the neighborhoods in and around this area. Unfortunately, Harper, like others, cannot be sure of what he is dealing with. People that he loves can be killed or made to appear as themselves when they are actually disguises for the shape-shifting entities.Dark CorridorsAfter Harper Paget loses his wife and his friends, including an Indonesian love interest who was killed by one of the creatures while traveling in China, he leaves Atlanta and flies first to Indonesia and then to China. He teaches for a short time in a university that has an exchange program with McAbee University back in Illinois. Not long after his arrival, he is attacked by an inter-dimensional female creature and bedridden for weeks. When he loses that teaching position because of two more attacks around him, he transfers to a different Chinese university located in a rural area and moves into a campus hotel. This soon becomes haunted by the mind-twisting, memory stealing vicious creatures. His friend Pierre offers sage advice and support in the war against the kunti, as Pierre calls them. The kunti are able to control a wormhole or Einstein-Rose bridge which not only allows them to travel from one dimension or one time to another, but to transport humans from the present to the past and from one country to another. When Harper's Chinese lady friend is transported to a town in Illinois where Harper grew up and at the time when he was a youth, a girl from that town is exchanged with her and materializes in China. The problem for us is that we don't always know if all of the characters are who they appear to be ... even Harper ... when we are trapped in the dark corridors of the haunted hotel.Dark JourneysWarrick, Illinois, is a small town on the banks of the Mississippi. On Main Street is a closed movie theatre owned by the family of Corey Braedon, film instructor at McAbee University. When a young couple disappear near the theatre building, he is called back to his home town by farmer and instructor at the nearby community college, Lawrence Reuter. Other apparitions at the theatre when Corey and Lawrence visit it one evening cause Corey to summon Dr. Harper Paget from China.Harper and Corey stay at the farmhouse owned by Lawrence and his younger wife Elaine. Elaine is the older sister of Gordon, the boy who has disappeared.Also involved in the mysterious events is Selena Herrmann, former high school teacher and former friend of the girl, Patty, who vanished along with Gordon. Inside the theatre which inexplicably opened for her, she was drawn into a vortex which took her to China. Trading places with her is Geraldine, Harper's former lady friend in China. She ends up, however, shifting her timeline to appear when Harper is a youth. Controlling this vortex are the insidious, dimension-traveling entities whose goal is to take over this town where their enemy, Harper, like Corey, grew up. They aim to do this by not only occupying the bodies of the hideous creatures called kuntilanak from Indonesia but residents of Warrick as well.Recently added to the DARK JOURNEYS TRILOGY is a fourth novel to extend the series, DARK TWILIGHT.This one finds Harper back in China again and in more danger than before. He keeps in contact with Elaine, the wife of a friend in Warrick, Illinois, USA. He has two new lady friends, one of whom is actually human. Adjani is a former student that he now sleeps with and the other a deadly and illusive kuntilanak with whom he slept only in a created illusion. When was the last time that you exchanged SMS texts with an evil non-human?DARK TWILIGHTIn this fourth e-book novel in the DARK JOURNEYS SERIES, you learn that Harper Paget did not destroy them all. The lamiae, often disguised as the kuntilanak from Indonesia, can take the place of women he thinks he knows, including Christabel, the young woman he knew from his previous visit to P.R. China. The lamiae -- enemies of his ancestors who even caused one them, Jacquema Paget, to be burned as a witch -- can appear and disappear, endangering those around him, including his Canadian colleague Brady and his former student and now girl friend Adjani. Adjani even makes a journey to Indonesia where the kuntilanak originated. But is she really the same when she comes back to China?The dark journeys are not over, Harper. Did you really think they would end so easily? Question is . . . what are going to do when dealing with deadly creatures that can find you in your dreams and even in your past?Coming soon.
FROM HERE TO ATLANTIS
If a second journey were being made delving into the earth after an earthquake opened a passageway -- one that would take you to ancient ruins of a subterranean village that may have been originally part of Atlantis, would you go? And what if on a high ledge above that village you find a remnant of a time capsule from space that existed before the time of Atlantis, one that could take you back to that lost civilization, would you make the ultimate time journey?
CIRCLES AND REALMSThe novel is finally here . . . the story of extraterrestrials who occupy a small Illinois town. A crop circle is discovered in a corn field on a farm owned by Jerry and Helen. Helen's family is coming for a reunion, and she and her husband hope her two brothers, Cale (a college professor), and Paul (an astute businessman) can help them solve the riddle. It has strange effects on people -- causing them to see shadowy figures in town and causing duplicates of deceased and absent family members to appear. Eventually, cell phone and computers cease to work, and the town goes ballistic.
Cale encounters in various forms throughout his life a female form (at one time she is gigantic) whom he first remembers seeing during his high school play. He thinks that she may have been one of the Anunnaki gods or aliens from ancient Sumer and speculates that he may have a genetic connection with her.

When the southern college where Alex Barteau, taught for 16 years goes belly up, he tries his luck
teaching in several universities in China. While there, he learns several things.
He is the only foreign PhD teaching English.
Many of the Chinese teachers of English have only BA degrees.
Many Chinese teachers resent his being there and even bump him from behind, sometimes in public.
Many of the other foreign teachers are really there as tourists and do not consider teaching to be their priority.
He is expected by some of his Chinese colleagues to teach as they do (although some secretly admire him). He tells him that when their hired him, they hired American methods. His British colleague
makes the same point about using British methods.
Falling in love with a beautiful Chinese teacher had its drawbacks as well as good points.
Some of his fellow foreign colleagues who had been teaching there for a while believe that they are in charge of new teachers.
He not only asks himself why he came over here in the first place ... but why it is that he is in no hurry to return to his own country.
In China as well as in the US, Alex Barteau discovers that he is only one of the
FORBIDDEN VOICES.
FOREIGNERS AND EMPERORS"You can't come into a Chinese university and expect it to be like teaching back home in the US. That is not the way we teach here in China.""They didn't hire me to teach like the Chinese. When I come into the classroom, it becomes an American classroom."Alex never stopped being the foreigner and the boys continued to be the little emperors.When Alex returned for his second tour-of-duty as a professor of literature at universities in China, he encountered even more problems with Chinese teachers (they would even strike him in the back in public), with administrators back at the university in Indiana because of inept communications, and with students who thought he should teach like the Chinese teachers. Fortunately, he maintained text communications with a former colleague and an ex-girlfriend at the university where he taught in the past.He tried to explain that he was not hired to be like the Chinese teachers who were often intimidated by parents who believed that because they were paying tuition, their little emperors should pass all of the courses."This is not how our last teacher taught us.""Do I look like that teacher?"SMS: THE SCAMMERSWhen Alex Barteau, returning from spending seven years teaching at universities in the People's Republic of China, settles down in his childhood home Waterfield, a small town in Illinois on the Mississippi, he becomes involved in a business scheme with a corrupt man in the Philippines.He also communicates through the internet sites with lovely young Filipina women, many of whom display their bodies but end up being gold-diggers. One of them even pretends to be a girlfriend he has met online.By the time his brother warns them about their scams, it is too late and he considers filing for bankruptcy. As he struggles, however, he learns that not all of them mean to cheat him and one -- maybe two -- want to remain in touch. What should Alex do? What would you do if you were lonely and wanted a touch of love and fantasy in your life?What if one of them who did not cheat you tells you that she loves you? What if you actually love her?TENSION AND FAMILY RELATIONSHIPSEXPLODE ON THE SCENE IN SMS: THE SCAMMERS. COMING SOON.ISLANDS INT I M ETWO FUTURE WORLDS . . .

You teach at one of these centers where you have to be careful about what you teach. When an elite woman who cared about you is killed, you are taken to the headquarters of the revolutionaries where Dr. Gillian Nash, who came with you to the islands along with your girlfriend Dina, has now joined the anti-establishment group.The problem is that Dina has not joined Dr. Nash but the elite authoritarian establishment. Your safety in this new world order turns out to be only one of your concerns if you wish to survive. You are, after all, dealing with the ISLANDS IN TIME.The Alex Barteau TrilogyA DAY IN CHINA:Before they were seated for the meal, Alex stood away from one of the tables with Tony and Hans. They complained to each other about the teaching situation in the English Department, and Tony groused about how his students had told him that Chinese teachers sometimes sold to them answers to exams in advance.This was denied in a department meeting where a Chinese teacher was present. She expostulated that it was impossible, but she did not give any evidence to support why she thought it was impossible. Parents were glad that the foreign teachers from English-speaking countries were there, but many Chinese teachers were not. Some could be quite rude and even physical. Alex had been bumped harshly from behind on several occasions. -
A scene from The Alex Barteau Trilogy -- his dealings in China and with the ladies of the PhilippinesWhat would YOU do if you were a foreigner teaching in China?______________________________________________“Don’t do it, Alex,” Tony shouted.“No,” Hans agreed. “They will be embarrassed,” he added in his jaw-twisting German accent.“Embarrassed?” Alex echoed.It was Thanksgiving, and the International Affairs Office was hosting a dinner for the foreign teachers and some of the Chinese teachers. They occupied two large circular tables in adjoining dining rooms upstairs of the hotel restaurant across from the main campus, the restaurant where Alex and Jerry ate on the first day he arrived in the city. Joining them were the three Fu Wu Yuan ladies who worked for IAO.Again, members of the hotel staff served as waitresses in their green and gray short skirt uniforms and Big Chief Dr. Zhu drafted Little Chief Jeremy to pour the water, wine, and Snow beer. To their table, they brought turkey that had been sliced in large flat pieces with a turkey head propped up in the center of the serving plate.Before they were seated for the meal, Alex stood away from one of the tables with Tony and Hans. They complained to each other about the teaching situation in the English Department, and Tony groused about how his students had told him that Chinese teachers sometimes sold to them answers to exams in advance. All three of them balked at the idea of submitting blank copies of their exams to the department prior to the final exams, one of the requirements given to them verbally --- not in writing; however, when Alex suggested that they talk to school administrators about what the department was doing, his two colleagues abandoned their tough stance and turned their vehemence against him.“Yes. You will embarrass them.”“Okay. Fine. Let them be embarrassed.”The room seemed to grow warmer. The colors in the wall, the varnish of the woodwork, and the clothing of those seated around him seemed to increase in brightness and richness, like the colors on a television screen that seemed to overflow the boundaries of the characters and objects when someone turned up the contrast. The faces of the other diners at the table became as blurred as their over-lapping voices, and the sounds and images seemed to swarm together like a flowing combination of melted butter and syrup.“Don’t do it,” Tony again demanded.Tony used the assertive tone that he often used in bars when he began comparing universities in America with universities in Canada. Since he was a Canadian, it was natural that he regard American universities unfavorably during a comparison, but when his diatribes became more and more often launched from the bottom of his cups, only to be joined by Jody with her comparing an American education with a supposedly superior one from Britain, Alex decided to stop joining them for dinner – dinners that usually devolved into later visits to a bar where Marie’s drinking led to her sitting at the table in a sullen stupor and Tony’s drinking led to his being increasingly generous with his fatuous and unsubstantiated rhetoric.“You can’t point out their flaws and errors in this country, Alex,” Hans continued. “They don’t want their positions to be made more difficult by complaints from below. They only want to hear compliments from below. That’s why they hold dinners for the Chinese teachers and demand that they attend. They want to be given face.”Hans and Tony were so emphatic that Alex felt cowed. He didn’t know what to do with his indignation. Had he already started drinking Snow beer from the green bottles, he might have been relaxed enough or confident enough to shift into response mode, not that being more forthright with his colleagues would have guaranteed any recovery of face on his part._www.smashwords.com/profile/view/chukkgarardwww.alternate-world-of-cjg.com

Some of these horror sites can become a little profane, so be warned. You will also find some excellent science-fiction sites, most of which I use for my time-travel e-books. There are also sites for writers in general, such as KINDLE PUBLISHERS, NOOK AND KINDLE READERS, AUTHORS PROMOTING AUTHORS, BOOK WORLD, CELEBRATING AUTHORS, ALL THINGS BOOKS, AUTHORS AND READERS SHARING POOL (which has an excellent policy for promoting your books), PROMOTE YOURSELF, PROMOTE YOUR BOOKS, THE LITERACY LOUNGE: AUTHORS, WRITERS, PUBLISHERS, AND ILLUSTRATORS.etc. Join one of more of the sites and have fun chatting with others who share your interests.New sites seem to crop up everyday.

Come and join in -- share your opinions. Even though I don't consider myself to be strictly a horror writer (more of a writer of the macabre, as Harlan Ellison, philosopher and author, states regarding his own work), it is a good place to start. I try to focus more on suspense with a few scares instead of splatter-gore and an abundance of four-letter words. I rely on psychological terror, even though the insidious entities from another dimension can be pretty nasty (see photos below).
DARK TWILIGHT
She's coming after Harper, and she's evil. She was burned as a witch in
17th-century Britain. In Indonesia, she was a sorrowful creature whose
unborn infant had been ripped from her body. Even with this hole in her
back, she was known to seduce young men to death.If you are a male, she may destroy your manhood. If you are a female, she will eliminate you as
competition. But is she really a deadly Kuntilanak or an ancient Lamia? The Lamiae have been enemies of Harper's family for generations. But if time meansnothing to them and dimensions are no barriers for them, how can you and your friends survive?
Think about this before you enter the DARK TWILIGHT. _________________

The image in the sky seen through the clouds and above the jet trails is probably nothing.The mysterious woman that Cale encountered in his youth is still with him in the small rural community where a crop circle appears in his sister's field. So, you think you are safe living in a small town where extraterrestrials cannot affect your past memories as well as your present? Think again.The trails in the sky might be jet exhaust or an oxidant, as most people think, or they might be traces of something traveling just outside of this dimension.

A scene from . . .SHADOWSANDREALMS
Samsung Android cellular phone (in medias res):
Cale: “Last week, by the way, Gaby and I were walking just outside the northern perimeter, starting to take a short cut through the farming area, and we saw what looked like a burning aircraft in the sky.”
Paul: "Just like before."
Cale: "Yes, actually."
Paul: “UFO?”
Cale: “To us, it was unidentified. This week, we found an area in the corn as if something had landed there.”
Paul: “A crop circle?”
Cale laughed to himself. “You’re thinking like I am, showing our Midwestern roots.”
Paul: “So? What was it?”
Cale: “I thought there would be some news of the UFO, but nothing. It is apparently being kept silent or secret from the populace.”
Paul: “If it gets out, they’ll just call it fake news.”
Cale:“No doubt. But now I don’t think it was a UFO. It was an aircraft.”
Paul: “What? You saw this?”
Cale: “Yes. I can see what it was kept silent. I thought it belonged to the aliens who visited Lakeville, but it may be something hundreds of centuries older.”
Paul: “So now we’re dealing with your mythology.”
Cale: “Not mine, Pal. This time it’s the real thing.”
Paul: “So you really found Gaby. That’s great!”
Cale: “Yes. She just showed up in a chariot driven by Ningal.”
Paul: “A chariot? Pulled by horses?"
Cale: "Yes."
Paul: "Weird. Is Gaby okay?
Nick: “I don’t know. She seems to be in some sort of a trance.”
More aboutCIRCLES AND REALMSCale and Paul are both drawn into a separate realm by the aliens where they experience moments of their lives in the future. They also discover that the small theatre in town, owned by their father but managed by Elliot Weiss, a high school friend of Cale's and owner of a local electronics store, and other prominent citizens have been using the theatre building as a channel for illegal immigrants. His wife, Virginia, learns of this and warns Cale, a person who has also been his friend since high school; she also knows of the scandal
involving him and a classmate. Apparently he has a reason for being uneasy about being back in town; however, Virginia has forgiven him and becomes involved in his search for answers.

FORBIDDEN VOICES and FOREIGNERS AND EMPERORS are my only non-science-fiction and non-horror novels so far. Both will take readers inside the classrooms in Chinese universities.Alex tells the Little Emperors students with their smart-phones that he was not hired to teach like the Chinese, and when he enters the classroom it becomes an American classroom.
