WINSTON TRILOGY—The Future of Man


Some said:
Great Book! - A Must Read Unforgettable! - A Superb Read! - Awesome Book! - Simply Brilliant! - Sizzling philosophical fiction!

Dr. Peter Thornton, professor of Comparative Religion, must face an irreconcilable mystery engulfing his life. Is he dealing with witchcraft?
 Witchcraft? Magic? Or a gift of God?

The story unfolds from one mystery to another. Only Winston, the enigmatic butler maintains his composure. He seems to know a great deal more then he’s showing.
Then, all hell breaks loose.
Kidnapping, international intrigue, and rapid journeys across Europe follow. A beautiful woman and a mysterious majordomo come to Peter’s aid. His exploits take him to the Vatican where he learns how to overcome death itself.


1. ONE JUST MAN
Almost immediately, both lovers are engulfed in a disturbing enigma. Dr. Peter Thornton, a man at the top of his career, discovers a gift of healing manifesting through his unwilling hands. The ‘gift’ turns into an insidious curse. He cannot practice medicine and “witchcraft” simultaneously. His promising career is in shambles.
This is where Stan Law, the author of the acclaimed WINSTON TRILOGY comes into his own.

2. ELOHIM—Masters & Minions
This is a tale of global evolution. The bestselling author of Visionary Fiction entangles the whole world. In truly Stan Law’s style, this book is both: a bold exploration of human potential, an endearing romance, and an international thriller.

Finally, Stan Law unravels the enigma of man’s destiny.

3. WINSTON’S KINGDOM
This novel is also a fascinating work of speculative metaphysics. Winston, the mysterious majordomo, leads humanity towards the next unavoidable evolutionary step. Winston’s Kingdom is not of this world but, for now, within the Solar System!
"In Book 3 of the Winston Trilogy, Stan Law collected every historical movement, every way to tie together all of mankind's beliefs and knowledge, fused all competing humanist and economist ideals, integrated science and psyche, theories and thought experiments, reasons and rationalizations, and wishes and wonders."
"…an enthralling page-turner…"
"…a superb read…"
"…a philosophical gem…"

(From 5-STAR reviews)

VICIOUS CIRCLES—Eliminating Paradoxes


From time immemorial, people suffer from an intense predisposition to either create a Creator, a God, in their own image, (those are the religiously inclined). Or to imagine that everything that happens, that has happened, or that might have happened, did so entirely by accident (these are, of course, the atheist who also call themselves, often, scientists).
Both do a lot of harm.
Since both groups are confined by their fundamentalist orientation, both are only half right. What is sadder, however, is that they are both… half wrong. It’s like a girl being halfway between pretty and ugly, or… pretty-ugly.
Half measures don’t count.
Even if the Universe had emerged from a Black Hole of presumably gigantic proportions, although lately it was reduced to a pinpointing — before the Black Hole there was absolutely Nothing of indeterminate colour.
In fact, there was a completely undefined nothing, floating around, although there was no space, yet nothing floated around, although there was no time…
This is the problem of all who think with an immature mind which assumes that everything must be “as below” so “above”.
It is not.
Nevertheless, this theory persisted, or according to my favourite scientist’s general theory of relativity, it lasted for 13.8 billion years.
Now that’s quite a while.


And yet, this Einsteinian proposition is as close as we can get to the minds of many scientists, whose heads appear to be filled to capacity with the same stuff that existed before the Big Bang. (According to them, there was nothing).


Then, though only recently, quantum equations began to predict that the Universe had NO beginning! Wow! It sounds like God Himself, or Herself, or… I wish to offend no one. Do they mean that the Universe is God?
Well!
Imagine, no beginning!
Hopefully so, and, in the fullness of time, it might also reach the minds of our noble theoreticians to conclude that it also has no conclusion.
No end. No End of the World.
There go the religions…
Actually, all religions have been created by men. We need someone to worship. And even more so we need some means of controlling people’s minds. Preferably, with a carrot and a stick. Or Heaven and Hell.
The consequences are staggering for a primitive human mind. Something that has no beginning and no end doesn’t fit into our phenomenal orientation.

Ah,  yes… phenomenal orientation.
We accept our dreams as real but refuse to accept our reality as dreams. I have another surprise for you. We are all energy. All is energy. That’s science. Or as the religious might say, “All is Spirit”.
Or am I dreaming?

THE POWER WITHIN—Avatar Trilogy


Some subjects cannot be contained in a single volume. We all start as children, we grow up, and then some of us, just the “Few” from among the “Many that are called”, take the next step. They awaken.
We know from science that all is energy and that energy cannot be destroyed. It can, however, metamorphose into different forms of expression. Hence, the unlimited diversity of the Universe.
I cannot explain our purpose, the dharma of each one of us, in a single blog, but I can try to share with you an idea of the places I’d visited in my lucid dreams.
 Trust me, you really are immortal.
No. Not your ego, but those aspects of you that enhance the Universe. As Einstein once said, we must learn the Universal Laws, and then play the game of life as best we can.


Today, Anne Howell would probably have been diagnosed autistic. She took the road less travelled. Yet, she was richly rewarded. Perhaps, after you read the Trilogy, you’ll decide to follow in her footsteps. Remember, the Avatar is dormant within every one of us.  This includes you. Enjoy!
The AVATAR TRILOGY consists of three full-lengths, self-contained novels. You can read them individually. You can also read them as a continuous life of Anne Howell. You’ll benefit and enjoy more if you read all three books in sequence.

1. AVATAR SYNDROME is a mystery...
A troubled, taciturn girl grows into a world-renowned violinist; from misunderstood recluse to messiah of a higher truth and beauty. Pain and pleasure, science, talent, and mysticism, combine into a symphony of fame, glory, and enchantment.
2. HEADLESS WORLDThe Vatican Incident
The story pits the traditions and beauty of the Vatican against the cold mechanical might of the American War Machine. The whole world is the playing field. Join Anne; her husband, Peter; Sir Ian, the affable maestro; Gabriel, the mystical butler; and their new friend, Gio, the powerful Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church as they unravel the most sinister bid for power the world has ever seen.
3. AWAKENINGEvent Horizon
The next gigantic step in Human Evolution. Anne Howell and her group of friends experience the most cataclysmic events in human history. Join them in a most incredible experience that changed their reality. They learn the secret of the Event Horizon, where the centripetal and centrifugal forces remain in perfect balance.
Enjoy!

CATS & DOGS

If you like Cats and Dogs and love, (and romance?), and suspense, and mystery, and murder... (and don't forget humour), well, you’ve come to the right place. Every single story has been dictated to me by my friends. Speak to your own friends. They’ll confirm every word. Of course, you must speak Felinish and Caninish. It’s easy to learn. You’ll see. They don’t always come out quite right, but, well, nothing is perfect in this world. (After all, we are cats and dogs).

However, if you think that we’re smarter than they are, think again. We make WMD, they don’t. We wage wars, they don’t. We destroy our bodies with drugs, they don’t. We pollute our atmosphere with smoke and other life-destroying gasses, they don’t. The list goes on… And you know why?

Because they, the CATS & DOGS have remained in Eden. They still live there. After all, Eden, the Paradise, is a state of mind, and their behaviour assures us that they are still filled with awe at the life they lead. We are lucky they agree to live with us and share with us their indestructible goodness.

Below the anthology of Verse and Short Stories:

Our Park,
My Cat is Fat,
The Ark,
I am a Fat Cat,
Just my Luck,
I am still a Fat Cat,
The Broohos,
Sphinx,
Two of a Kind,
Sharing,
Dreamax,
Bad Apple,
To Sleep or not to Sleep,
The Good Witch and the Warlock

Some 5-star blurbs:
So, So Clever!
Entertaining Uniqueness!
Thoroughly Entertaining!
Funny True But Inspirational Too!
Delightful and entertaining stories!


Let me know if you liked CATS & DOGS, or better still, say so on in writing. Reviews are gratefully appreciated. And by the way, read the reviews already published. You'll enjoy them.
