Book excerpt: Untouched for thousands of years, Australia continues to host some of the oldest and most captivating cultures on our planet to this very day: those of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. By the close of the 18th century and within a mere few decades, colonization abruptly terminates a way of life as ancient as the world itself, rupturing traditions and propelling entire communities into warfare, decline, and hopelessness. However, to the south of the expansive Australian continent, a vast and isolated island endures an even more dreadful fate: the utter vanishing of its original nation. Tasmania serves as the stunning setting for the prehistoric series "The Forgotten Island Clan," which envisions the foundation and endurance of a fictional clan across countless millennia, spanning both before and after the island's separation from the mainland. In the wake of climatic and ethnic changes, each book offers a chance to reveal the customs, beliefs, and wisdom of the Aboriginal people through the adventures of clan members who face new challenges. Indeed, the Traditional Owners of the ancestral lands of the southern island of Trowenna have cultivated rituals, artifacts, and an exceptionally rich culture over the ages. We are just starting to catch a glimpse of the complexity and mystery that it holds. How did the women and men of the past imagine the creation of the world and manage to preserve their ancestral customs? What techniques did they develop to sustain their livelihoods away from 'civilization'? What can we learn from this incredible legacy that modern-day Australians are rediscovering and celebrating? These are just a few of the questions that the series 'The Forgotten Island Clan' aims to address with plausible answers, backed by the research and imagination of the authors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shell Necklace The Forgotten Island Clan 1 Lowinné, a young Aboriginal woman, eagerly anticipates uniting with Tughanah now that he has come of age. But the two lovers still have to be patient. For countless cycles, their respective clans have converged during their grand annual journey to Trowenna, the majestic land at the Earth's edge. During one such journey, Lowinné has an extraordinary encounter, compelling her to make a daring proposition to her father, the sage of the Nyu clan. This proposal risks shattering an age-old taboo. Has she genuinely received a divine message? Can her father grant her audacious request? Seeking clarity, the elder retreats into the wilderness, hoping to commune with the celestial patriarch. However, the perpetual motion of the clans persists. The grand gathering at the Great Rainbow Serpent Mountain is on the horizon, signaling the day of unions. This significant event is a time of joy and sacred ceremonies for all southern clans. Lowinné ardently desires to honor Tjukuba, the primordial creation narrative, also known as the 'Dreamtime'. But a sudden twist of fate catapults her life in an unforeseen direction, filled with challenges and moments of isolation. During these challenging moments, the celestial spirits unleash the fury of nature, threatening the very essence of their world. How will the Nyu confront adversities that jeopardize their clan's existence? From where can Lowinné summon the resilience to secure a future for her loved ones? What revered artifacts and ageless traditions will guide her? The Forgotten Island Clan Untouched for millennia, Australia remains a sanctuary for some of the world's oldest and most captivating cultures: those of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Yet, by the close of the 18th century, colonization swiftly obliterated ancient lifestyles, shattering traditions and plunging entire communities into conflict, decay, and desolation. Even more tragic was the fate of a vast, isolated island to the south of the expansive continent: the utter annihilation of its original inhabitants. Tasmania serves as the dramatic backdrop for the prehistoric series 'The Forgotten Island Clan'. This narrative envisions the establishment and endurance of a fictional clan across numerous eras, both before and after Tasmania's detachment from the mainland. Amidst climatic and demographic shifts, each installment unveils Aboriginal customs, myths, beliefs, and sagacity, narrated through the exploits of clan members confronting novel challenges. Indeed, the Traditional Owners of the ancestral lands of the southern island, Trowenna, have over time cultivated rituals, relics, and a profoundly rich culture whose intricacy and enigma we're just beginning to glimpse. How did the forebears visualize the world's inception and successfully preserve their age-old traditions? Which strategies did they craft to sustain their existence, distant from what's known as 'civilization'? What insights can this remarkable legacy offer, especially as contemporary Australians rediscover and celebrate it? The series 'The Forgotten Island Clan' seeks to furnish credible responses, fortified by the authors' research and creativity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He was truly a man of God. He was vibrant and courageous in his Christian faith. Realizing he was called by God to evangelize the islanders, he was determined to at least touch one heart and change a life amidst great persecutions. Sent by the church in the United States of America, the Christian missionary felt alone and neglected on an island full of people who didn't want to do anything with his Christian God and teachings. When he was ridiculed, laughed at, and mocked, he silently and reverently turned to God for encouragement, wisdom, and guidance. He spent many hours a day in prayers and reading his Bible, asking God for the grace he needs to overcome his trials and tribulations. Then one day, when he decided to leave the rebellious islanders in peace, out of the blue, God spoke through him and prophesied against the indigenous people and their island. Soon after, the prophesy came true and changed the lives of the present generation as well as the future generation forever! Consequently, to this day, the Christian faith is vibrant among the islanders in the Namoluk (Na-mo-look) atoll, Chuuk State, in the Federated States of Micronesia, both home and abroad.

Book excerpt: Over three hundred years ago fhte first European colonialists set foot in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean to found permanent outposts of the great empires. Theis epic migration continued until after World War II when these tropical outposts became independent black nations, and the white colonials were forced, or chose, to return home. Some of these colonial descendants, however, had become outcasts in the poorest stratas of the society of which they were now a part. Ignored by both the former slaves and the modern privileged white immigrants, and unable to afford the long journey home, they still hold out today, hiding in remote valleys and hills, 'lost white tribes' living in poverty with the proud myth of their colonial ancestors. Forced to marry within the tribe to retain their fair-skinned purity, they are torn between the memory of past privileges and the present need to integrate into the surrounding society. The tribes investigated in this book share much besides the colour of their skin- all are decreasing in number, many are on the verge of extinction, fighting to survive in countries that alienate them because of the colour of their skin.

Azra is an incubus, a Dark Creature from the world, Ether, forced to hide out on Earth after a clash with his former clan. Needing to feed on sex and sexual fantasies, Azra corners Helix one night in a dark alley. But Helix’s fire powers take over, and Azra realizes that she is not just another human; she’s a Zodiac from his own home world, though she doesn’t know it. Joining forces, Helix and Azra find a way to help each other get what they want: he will bring her to Ether and help her get rid of her destructive powers if she will first use them to help him defeat Lady Kae, the clan leader who usurped him. But nothing goes as they intend, including their unexpected and unstoppable attraction to each other. By turns fantastical, inventive, romantic, and packed with wry humour, Aries Awakened is sure to become a new classic of the genre.
