I'm So Excited!!
Well, I'm off to get my copy of The World at War!! I'm anxious to find out what happens next to everyone. (especially me!)
The Next Book Is Coming
Well, what do you know? I am finally getting to work on this new exciting installment of The Apocalypse Series. Yes, I know that many of you have been dying to know what's going to happen next. Well, I ask you to be patient and hold on. I am writing the book just as fast as I can. I am hoping to have this exciting book finished and ready for editing by September 2021. But it depends on how fast I can write and if God doesn't have me stop to work on another book again. Hey, you do what God tells you to do. Saves you so much time and hassle if you are obedient to Him the very first time. Yes, I learned this from past experiences. So I ask you to be patient because it will be well worth the wait, I promise. In the meantime, you are welcome to check out my other books. I hope that you enjoy them and thanks for hanging around.
You can find them here.
You can find them here.
Nicolaitanes Balac Is A Very Bad Man!
Okay, I'm back. So sorry about earlier. I promise to behave now. [Serenity laughs nervously.] I just had to come online to warn you! Nicolaitanes is dangerous! I can't believe he is who they say he is. This is so weird and crazy to me. I never pictured the purest of evil to be quite so handsome. Yeah Nicolaitanes is a very bad man but there's no way he is who these people think he is! Is he? Maybe I should do some studying of the Bible for myself. I just didn't picture the antichrist as someone so handsome. I don't know, what do you think? Is that the face of someone who could be the son of the devil? He seems way too smooth to be someone like that. I haven't decided for myself yet if I believe what they're saying about him or not.
Now don't let this angel face of yours fool you. He really is a bad man! I still don't know why it is that he's after me or why on earth he wants me dead. All I know is that I have no intention of allowing that man to find me. Not if I can help it anyway. Well, if you run into him I would suggest that you do your best to go the other way and stay away from him! I wish he'd give up already and leave me be. I'm so sick of being in hiding already. [Serenity tugs on her hair and yells with exasperation.]
Guardian Angels Update
Have a wonderful and blessed day.
Interview With Nicolaitanes Balac
Me: Good morning and thank you for coming out to interview with me today. Why don’t you start by telling us your name?
Character: But of course, my name is Nicolaitanes Ignatius Balac. [He flashes a smile.]
Me: Please tell us a little about yourself.
Character: Well, I was born and raised in Rome, Italy. I am a direct descendent of Roman Emperor Nero Germanicus. I am currently the President of Italy.
Me: Very impressive, Nicolaitanes. May I call you Nicolai for short?
Character: I suppose. [He fidgets in his seat before crossing his legs.]
Me: Thank you, Nicolai. Where you always in politics before becoming President?
Character: No, I actually own and run an architectural design company. We design everything from custom homes to extravagant office buildings.
Me: That’s interesting. So how did you get from architecture to politics?
Character: I have always been interested in the political field. So when I was offered the position of President I was honored.
Me: Offered the position of President. Don’t you mean that you killed the previous President so that you could become President? [Wipes the little beads of sweat off of my forehead. All of the little hairs on the back of my neck rise up.]
Character: [He laughs maniacally.] You should really be careful of saying such things. [He leans in towards me menacingly.] Besides, if I am capable of such atrocities who’s to say that you will get out of here alive. Hmmm.[He sits back in his chair and glances down at his watch.] But I will allow you to live as you amuse me. [He’s quiet for several minutes.] Yes, I killed President Adamo Ricci. The man was pathetic.
Me: But wasn’t he your friend?
Character: [He snickers.] I wouldn’t exactly say that we were friends, more like acquaintances. He outlived his usefulness.
Me: Wow, if you treat your friends like that I would hate to see what you do to your enemies. [The room is deathly quiet for a moment. I look to see how far the nearest exit is just in case I need it.]
Me: Well, let’s move on. [I take a deep breath and slowly let it out.] So why did you want to become President? Did President Adamo Ricci not do a good enough job?
Character: Honestly, he did a wonderful job with Italy. The only thing is that he didn’t have a big enough vision of what all he could do to help the people of Italy. I on the other hand, have great plans in store for Italy.
Me: Really. Can you elaborate?
Character: Well, I could tell you but then I would have to kill you. [He laughs.] Relax, I’m just kidding around. I don’t intend on remaining President long, I have much bigger plans in store. I’m going to not only save Italy but I am going to save the entire world.
Me: You’re going to save the entire world? From what exactly?
Character: From complete and utter destruction. We are at war you know. You silly humans are going to destroy each other and the earth if I don’t intervene.
Me: [I lean forward in my seat confused.] Wait a minute, what do you mean you silly humans? Aren’t you also a man?
Character: [He grins from ear to ear.] Oh, I’m sorry. It was a simple slip of the tongue. I mustn’t get ahead of myself. Forget I said anything.
Me: [I look at him strangely but keep my thoughts to myself.] You are already so successful in life, Nicolai. What more could you possibly want?
Character: Why to be ruler of the entire world of course. Who wouldn’t want to be? Imagine the possibilities. If I were in control of the entire world, we would not be in the predicament that we are in currently.
Me: [rolls eyes] Another lunatic trying to take over the world.
Character: Pardon me? What did you just say? [He looks at me with pure hatred emanating from his eyes.] [I start to get up and ease towards the door. Perhaps I should not have said that last thing out loud.]
Me: [My heart is pounding now and I’m trying to calm my nerves while I walk a little closer to the door.] I have one last question for you Nicolai. What are your views on God and how does He fit in with your daily tasks as President?
Character: [He growls at me with a vengeance I’ve never before seen from anyone; almost beast-like.] God? I don’t consult with Him. [He’s talking to me now through gritted teeth. He’s quite upset now.] I’m sorry, but I think this interview is over! [He gets up and storms towards the door. He stops just before the door and turns back towards me.] Are you one of the meddlesome Christians?
Me: I wouldn’t say that I was meddlesome, but yes I am a Christian.
Character: Well, good luck with that in the upcoming months. There are things that you are going to have to endure that you haven’t even begun to dream of. [He says threateningly.]
Me: I’m sorry Nicolai, but are you threatening me? [I calmly reach for my cell phone.]
Character: No, it’s a promise! [He turns and walks out the room slamming the door behind him.]
Me: Okay, I’m a little nervous now. There is more to Nicolai than meets the eye. Just who is Nicolai really?
Character: But of course, my name is Nicolaitanes Ignatius Balac. [He flashes a smile.]
Me: Please tell us a little about yourself.
Character: Well, I was born and raised in Rome, Italy. I am a direct descendent of Roman Emperor Nero Germanicus. I am currently the President of Italy.

Interview With Serenity Lambert
Me: Good morning and thank you for coming out to interview with me today. Why don’t you start by telling us your name?
Character: Well thank you for having me today. My name is Serenity Marie Lambert.
Me: Can you tell us a little about yourself?
Character: Ummm, [nervously twists hair and places it behind her ear] what would you like to know about me?
Me: Where were you born?
Character: I was born in London, England.
Me: Really? Is that where you live now?
Character: No, I’m currently residing in Hinesville, Georgia.
Me: Why are you in Hinesville, Georgia?
Character: Well, I’m here on business, but I’m not really supposed to talk about it. [She nervously looks around the room and fidgets in her chair uncomfortably.]
Me: What sort of business are you working on? Do you work with the FBI or something? [I laugh.]
Character: Do you promise to keep it a secret? Because this really must not get out! If Nicolaitanes ever found out that I was here…..well he just can’t know. Okay? [She gets up and paces back and forth across the room]
Me: Who’s Nicolaitanes?
Character: Nicolaitanes Balac, he’s the President of Italy. Haven’t you heard of him?
Me: No, I haven’t really been keeping up with the news.
Character: Well, he’s a really powerful man. Don’t tell anyone but I think that he’s really in charge of Operation Dark Angel.
Me: What’s Operation Dark Angel?
Character: Oh dear, I should not have said that. [Shifts in chair and meets interviewer's eyes briefly before looking away.]
Me: Is that what you are in Hinesville working on?
Character: [Silence for several seconds.] Yes, but I really wish that I had never gotten involved. They lied to us you know. It is not what they said. How can destroying whole cities and starting wars be for the good of the people? [She looks thoughtfully out of the window.]
Me: What? Are you telling me that you are working on a project that is causing wars?
Character: Don’t look at me like that. If they had told me the truth, I never would have gotten involved. Look, do you mind if we change the subject? I really don’t want to talk about it anymore.
Me: Sure. What do you like to do when you’re not working?
Character: I absolutely love to read, cook and paint.
Me: What genre of books do you enjoy reading?
Character: Mostly, I like to read romance novels but do enjoy a good mystery.
Me: What is your favorite book?
Character: Gone With the Wind
Me: Really? That’s one of my favorite books as well. Is there anything else that you would like to tell us?
Character: [She looks around before whispering.] Go and find somewhere safe to hide. Things are about to get really ugly around here. Don’t trust anybody! I mean it, NO ONE. If you don’t believe in God, now is the time to start. He’s the only one who can get us out of this mess.
Me: [I look at her bewildered.] What do you mean by that?
Character: I’m sorry, I really can’t say any more. Thanks so much for having me. I have to go now. [She then turns and runs out of the door.] Pam: Good morning and thank you for coming out to interview with me today. Why don’t you start by telling us your name?
Serenity: Well thank you for having me today. My name is Serenity Marie Lambert.
Pam: Can you tell us a little about yourself?
Character: Ummm, [nervously twists hair and places it behind her ear] what would you like to know about me?

PLEASE Ask Me Questions
If any of you stopping by have any questions for me, by all means do ask. I promise that I will answer the ones that I can. Of course, make sure that you are ready to hear the answers though. I hope that it won't put any of you in danger. But then again, who am I kidding? The whole entire world is in danger!
So ask away. Besides it's kind of lonely here and I am dying for some human conversation. (smile) Leave your questions below in the comments section. I will answer them.

My Author Is So Generous
For a limited time, my author will provide e-book copies of her latest book THE WORLD AT WAR to anyone willing to write a review to post on Goodreads as well as on Amazon. That is so awesome! You get to read for free this awesome new addition to the series and all you have to do is post a review. Wow! How easy is that? I wish that I could do that, but as I am closely related to the series that would so be a conflict of interest. (LOL) Anyway if you are interested in doing this all you have to do is to contact my author, Pam Funke, at AuthorPamFunke@hotmail.com. I hope that you all decide to do this, you won't be disappointed!
Here's a little information on the book:
Join General Alexander Ludlow as he continues on his mission to save the world. At least that is what he thinks that Operation Dark Angel is all about. He is however starting to suspect that this mission is not all that it's cracked up to be. The world is in complete chaos as major nations wage war on each other and the world is on the brink of World War III.
The Group is secretly continuing Operation Dark Angel with much success. Unknown to the rest of the world they are the ones who are behind the strange and devastating attacks on Israel and around the world. What is it that they are really after when they are supposed to be bringing peace to an out of control world?
Italian President Nicolaitanes Balac is steadily gaining political power and recognition. The entire world is watching this one man and wondering if he will be the one to save them from the chaotic spiral that the world is headed towards. Is he really who he appears to be or is he something more sinister? Can he save the world? Do we even want him to? Is this who mankind should rely on for help or will this be the worst mistake that mankind has ever made?
Book trailer:
Imagination Stage
I would like to introduce you to my new young adult series, The Guardian Angels. Writing for the enjoyment of our youth and teens is not only a blessing, but it is so much fun. I love watching the joy on their faces as they read one of my books or tell me how much they enjoyed reading something that I've written. I hope that you will all enjoy this series just as much as you have the others.
Stay tuned....
Interview With Katie Farnsworth
Tell me about Katie? I have not read your book yet, what about Katie would draw me in???
Hello Cheryllyn. My name is Katie Farnsworth. How are you this
evening? I am a 50 year old grandmother of four, although I don't get to
see them as often as I would like. I am what some would refer to as a
church mother. I was raised in the church as was my mother and her
mother before her. Is there anything specific that you would like to ask
me?
Katie, where are you from? Do your grandchildren live far away
from you, is that why you do not get to see them much? I have a
granddaughter that lives very many states away from me, so I do not get
to see her much like I would like. Do you work, and if so what is your career? What do you like to do in your spare time? What church were you raised in, I was raised Episcopalian?
I am from Baton Rogue, Louisiana. Yes, my grandchildren are
scattered all across the United States as my daughter and two sons are
all in the military. It's hard to be away from my family for so long.
Yes, I work still. The current economy makes it hard for someone like me
to be able to retire. I am a scientist on a military base. I was raised
in a Church of God.
Work In Progress
I am currently working on the next book in The Apocalypse series. Funny how you have to go back and re-read the earlier books in the series to catch yourself back up. LOL. Next comes more research for different things. I think that this book is going to be more exciting and thrilling than the last two. Certain things are going to happen that you won't believe.
Interview With Sampson Perry
Me: Good morning and thank you for coming out to interview with me today. Why don’t you start by telling us your name?
Character: No problem. My name is Sampson Perry.
Me: What do you do for a living, Mr. Perry?
Character: Well, I work in Military Intelligence. That’s about all that I can say for the rest is classified and frankly you don’t have the need to know. [He sits back and takes a sip of his latte.]
Me: I see. So you can’t be a little more specific? The Intelligence field involves many different things.
Character: Sure, I could tell you but then I’d have to kill you. [He laughs wholeheartedly.] Besides, I’m sure that you don’t have the proper clearance.
Me: Well, actually I do have a TS SBI security clearance, which is one of the highest clearances that you can obtain. Besides, who am I going to tell?
Character: [He looks at me oddly as though he’s trying to size me up.] Alright then, I’m an Intelligence Analyst. Basically I take all the information that has been gathered from various sources and create reports to be delivered to the President of the United States.
Me: Very impressive. So is that what you do for Operation Dark Angel?
Character: [He shifts nervously in his chair. He looks around the room as though he’s looking for something. He lowers his voice to barely above a whisper.] Who told you about Operation Dark Angel? That’s classified information. Even the President does not have the proper security clearance for that information.
Me: Can you answer the question, Sampson?
Character: I don’t know what you are talking about. Next question please.
Me: Ummm, alright. Where are you from?
Character: [He seems to relax a little bit.] I was born in Irvington, New Jersey.
Me: Really? I have family there.
Character: Yes, but I haven’t lived there in quite a few years.
Me: Where are you currently residing?
Character: I am temporarily living in Pembroke, Georgia.
Me: Temporarily?
Character: Yes, I am just staying here while I work on a project on Fort Stewart.
Me: So where do you call home?
Character: Washington D.C.
Me: What do you like to do for fun? Do you have any hobbies?
Character: I enjoy going to see a good action movie. I like mud bogging, motocross, hunting, fishing, boating and hockey.
Me: How do you like working with President Nicolaitanes Balac?
Character: [He eyes me suspiciously.] Did Rosalind tell you something? Are you trying to get me to say something against Nicolaitanes?
Me: You’re acting very suspiciously. No to both of your questions.
Character: Well, I enjoy working with President Balac. It is an experience of a lifetime. [He stares down at his hands as he says this.]
Me: Is there something about President Balac that you don’t particularly like? [I lean forward in my seat.]
Character: I really can’t answer that. You have no idea what Nicolaitanes is like. What am I doing here? If he finds out that I’m here talking to you about this………….[His voice trails off. He stares into empty space. His hands start to tremble.]
Character: I think that I’d better go now. Thanks for having me. [He quickly gathers his things and hurries out of the door.]
Character: No problem. My name is Sampson Perry.
Me: What do you do for a living, Mr. Perry?
Character: Well, I work in Military Intelligence. That’s about all that I can say for the rest is classified and frankly you don’t have the need to know. [He sits back and takes a sip of his latte.]
Me: I see. So you can’t be a little more specific? The Intelligence field involves many different things.
Character: Sure, I could tell you but then I’d have to kill you. [He laughs wholeheartedly.] Besides, I’m sure that you don’t have the proper clearance.
Me: Well, actually I do have a TS SBI security clearance, which is one of the highest clearances that you can obtain. Besides, who am I going to tell?
Character: [He looks at me oddly as though he’s trying to size me up.] Alright then, I’m an Intelligence Analyst. Basically I take all the information that has been gathered from various sources and create reports to be delivered to the President of the United States.
Me: Very impressive. So is that what you do for Operation Dark Angel?
Character: [He shifts nervously in his chair. He looks around the room as though he’s looking for something. He lowers his voice to barely above a whisper.] Who told you about Operation Dark Angel? That’s classified information. Even the President does not have the proper security clearance for that information.
Me: Can you answer the question, Sampson?
Character: I don’t know what you are talking about. Next question please.
Me: Ummm, alright. Where are you from?
Character: [He seems to relax a little bit.] I was born in Irvington, New Jersey.
Me: Really? I have family there.
Character: Yes, but I haven’t lived there in quite a few years.
Me: Where are you currently residing?
Character: I am temporarily living in Pembroke, Georgia.
Me: Temporarily?
Character: Yes, I am just staying here while I work on a project on Fort Stewart.
Me: So where do you call home?
Character: Washington D.C.
Me: What do you like to do for fun? Do you have any hobbies?
Character: I enjoy going to see a good action movie. I like mud bogging, motocross, hunting, fishing, boating and hockey.
Me: How do you like working with President Nicolaitanes Balac?
Character: [He eyes me suspiciously.] Did Rosalind tell you something? Are you trying to get me to say something against Nicolaitanes?
Me: You’re acting very suspiciously. No to both of your questions.
Character: Well, I enjoy working with President Balac. It is an experience of a lifetime. [He stares down at his hands as he says this.]
Me: Is there something about President Balac that you don’t particularly like? [I lean forward in my seat.]

Secret Files About 'THE GROUP'
I probably should NOT tell you anything about The Group but I'm going to anyway. Besides you guys need to know the truth about what is going on. The world and your way of life is at risk. Life as you know it is about to change drastically; and it's all because of these people. (myself included I am sad to say)
This is Adolph Christophe the arrogant member of the group. He is currently on a secret assignment for Rosalind in Russia. I don't much like this guy, something about him just unnerves me.
This is Annamaya Varnedoe. She looks like a sweet and innocent person right? How wrong you are! She is a conniving little.... well I just can't bring myself to say it. Don't let her sweet demeanor fool you. But after you read the series I'm sure that you'll have a pretty picture of her in your head~not!
This is Andrew Jackson. While he may be a handsome looking guy, he is my worst nightmare. He's one of the ones that Nicolaitanes has hunting me. The strange thing is..... I don't even know why.
This is Caitlin Rogers, the timid member of the group. She is very quiet and doesn’t say much, but she is ruthless when she needs to be. I've gotten to know a little about her and I really don't know why she remains a part of the group. It seems like this is going against everything that she stands for.
This is Nicolaitanes Balac, a direct descendent of Roman Emperor Nero Germanicus. Pretty impressive, no? He is a very handsome and charming man, right? Don't let his charming good looks fool you, this man is pure evil. Please don't tell anyone I said that, he terrifies me. You have no idea! He is also a very powerful man. I could tell you who I now believe he is but I don't want to influence you in any way.
This is Richard Smith. He's a nice guy really. He always went out of his way to talk to me. Out of all the members of the group, he's the only one that I actually like. Kind of sad, really. I'm not sure exactly, but I think that he's one of those Jesus followers. It would have been nice to get to talk to him about that. He could answer so many questions that I have. But then again he's part of this group so I could be wrong!
This is General Alexander Ludlow. He thinks that he is in charge of Operation Dark Angel but he's nothing more than our lackey. Can you believe that the voice even got him to murder an unarmed man due to the simple fact that he was afraid and wanted out of the project? Poor Charlie Andrews. I still haven't figured out how the voice can force you to do anything, it is after all just a voice, right? The voice is horrifying--it gives me the creeps. I've heard it too. Beware the voice!
This is Sampson Perry. He has some hidden covert abilities and talents of which Nicolaitanes is not fully aware of yet. He makes me think of a double agent in a spy movie. That man is certainly not quite all there. I don't like the way that he looks at me when we're in the same room. I don't trust him at all.
This is Rosalind Carey. She is Nicolaitanes' protector. (his little henchman~well woman) She raised Nicolaitanes from the day that he was born as his mother is dead. I wonder what really happened to his mother. She is also Nicolaitanes’ first in command; she takes care of whatever Nicolaitanes needs done. I don't know what all that she does and I don't think that I want to.
This is Victor Bartola. None of us really know much about Victor. He's pretty quiet and keeps to himself. He's never really talked about his personal life or anything for that matter other than group business. If it weren't for the fact that Victor is part of this little twisted group, I wouldn't mind getting to know him if you know what I mean.
Last but not least, this is Tara Matthews. (my other living nightmare who's hunting me). It's kind of funny though because she was the quiet, silent type but I guess the old saying is true, it's the quiet ones that you have to watch.
Well, now you have meet the members of the group in charge of Operation Dark Angel. Can you imagine working with these people on a secret military mission designed to bring about world peace? Well, that's what I was told by the voice that we would be doing. But I soon found out that it wasn't all that it was cracked up to be. You will have to read The Apocalypse Series to find out more about them and this operation.

Interview With Bella
Me: Good morning, Bella. How are you sweetie?
[Little 4 year old Bella has come to visit me this morning. She is wearing a beautiful teal frilly dress and has her hair up in an amazing updo. So pretty.]

Me: Oh yes, Bella. I love the beach. The feel of the sand between your toes is amazing. But the best part is lying in the warm water and floating on the waves.
[Bella's eyes light up as she hears me talk about the beach.] Perhaps when we are done here, we can go over to the beach with your mom.
[Bella is jumping up and down with excitement now at the prospect of spending time with me at the beach.]
Me: Bella, can you tell us what was your favorite part of your story?
Bella: I like listening to the stories momma told me on the beach. It's fun looking for creatures on the beach. When we find something, momma always tells me a story about it.
Me: Sounds like your mother is a wonderful storyteller.
Bella: Oh yes, but not like you!
[Now, it's my turn to look bashful.]

Good Morning
Good morning everyone. I hope that you are all doing well out there in the world. As for me, today is a good day. I am actually getting to relax and not have to run for my life today. That in itself is a good thing. I guess that you are all probably wondering why it is that I am in hiding, right? Well, I wish that I knew. All that I can remember is returning back to my hotel after a meeting with the group in the situation room (it's in that beautiful building I told you about that Nicolaitanes' company built for the military. He's built them all across the United States. I bet you didn't know that.) Anyway, a little voice within me (I wonder if that was God. I'm still trying to figure out if He's really there and if He'll accept me. I've done some things that I'm really not proud of. Does anybody know how I find out?) told me to pack my bags and leave the hotel. Well, when I was walking out of the hotel the whole place blew sky high. I don't remember much about it.
The next thing I remember is waking up in the hospital a few days later and Dr. Ezekiel White telling me that I was extremely lucky to still be alive. I just looked at him because I had no idea of what it was that he was referring to. He told me that the hotel that I had been staying in had been bombed. I couldn't believe it. I'm the only survivor. I wonder how many people died. Who planted a bomb at the Hinesville Inne? Why would anybody do something like that? Seems kind of surreal doesn't it?
Anyway, I guess that Nicolaitanes wasn't happy with that (my still being alive) because he came storming into the hospital after me. (Hey, do you think that he's the one who had the bomb planted at the hotel? I wonder.) Dr. White, bless his heart, whisked me away from there and hid me. That was really kind of him, especially since he didn't really even know me. I'm still not sure why he helped me that day. Why would you help a perfect stranger like that? But irregardless of why he did it, I am so thankful that he did. Andrew and Tara have been hunting me down ever since Dr. White took me from the hospital. The strange thing is I still don't know why they are. I have no idea why Nicolaitanes is so desperate to get me back. You see, I have amnesia and I only remember bits and pieces of things. I'm still trying to figure out what it was exactly that I was doing working with the group. Perhaps you guys can help me figure that out. Will you?
A pretty little lake that I found while exploring the military post here.

I love sitting out on the dock out in Sunbury. Don't know when I'll get to do that again. (sigh)

Thank You
Thank you everyone for all of the great reviews that you are leaving on Amazon and Barnes and Noble in regards to this book. I am so glad that you are all enjoying it. I hope that you will tell others about the book that you believe would enjoy either reading it to their children or children that you believe would enjoy reading it for themselves. Again, I really appreciate all the reviews.
Operation Dark Angel
What exactly is Operation Dark Angel you ask? Well, I don't really know if I should tell you that. I mean it is top secret per se. But I would feel terribly if the voice found out that I told you about it. Why? Well because frankly you would have to go into hiding like me. Nicolaitanes would have his henchmen hunting you down like a rabid dog. Believe me, that's no joke.
I guess that it would be okay if I just told you what the voice told me about the project. You can decide for yourself whether you believe it or not. Let me see if I can remember exactly what the voice said to me. Please forgive me if I don't quite tell you word for word.
Operation Dark Angel is a TOP SECRET military mission that was created for the good of the inhabitants of the earth. You see our world is in terrible condition. There are so many wars, rumors of wars, murders, hatred, thousands of people starving, probably just as many people with no place to live, the list goes on and on. Anyway, the voice said that this project would feed the entire world, give everyone a decent place to live, but mostly it would bring peace to the entire world. Can you imagine a world with no more wars, no more fighting? That would be so wonderful, don't you agree?
Maybe this operation really will accomplish those things, but I don't like the way that the group is going about obtaining it. But, I'm not going to tell you any more about it.......you'll just have to read the books for yourself.

Hello There
Hi everyone. My name is Serenity Lambert and I am a character from The Apocalypse series. It's nice to meet all of you. I just wanted to pop in and let you all know how excited I am that the next installment of the series is getting ready to be released. I can't wait to find out what happens to me next! Yeah, I know. You think that I should already know what's going to happen because I'm in the story, but I don't since my author refuses to let me in on the secret. Heck, I don't even know what the cover of the new book is going to look like. I'm downright curious to find out too, but she has all of those things hidden away from me. Drat! Anyhoo, if you'd like to find out some of the little tidbits that I know about the series that aren't in any of the books (at least not the ones that I've read) then you should come back daily to see what I write about! (wink)
Well, I'd better go before my author realizes that I've escaped from within the depths of her books. Oh by the way, please don't tell anyone that you've seen me--there's a huge reward out on my head. Thanks. See you soon!
Delilah, The Eastern Eyed Click Beetle
There was once a little beetle named Delilah. She was a plain grey beetle who
looked just like all the other beetles of her kind. This saddened her a
great deal for she knew in her heart that she was a special and unique
beetle. There was no one else quite like her. Every day she would go
about her daily chores thinking of a way to make herself known. She
wanted to be rewarded for things that she did. She was tired of the
whole colony getting rewarded by the queen for the work that she’d done.
But how can I get credit when the queen cannot tell me apart from anyone else? She
was also sick and tired of being treated as though there was nothing
special about her. She thought about this a great deal. Frustrated, she
left the colony in search of an answer.It was a very hot day and the little beetle was becoming thirsty. Sensing that there was water off to her right somewhere, she moved off the worn path. She crawled through a tall patch of grass and saw the most beautiful lake that she had ever seen. She didn’t remember ever seeing this place before, although she had walked that path many times. Hmmmm. She looked all around at all the beautiful trees and flowers. There were creatures of all different types and sizes. She did not see anyone else like her. She slowly crept toward the lake and lowered her mouth to the surface of the water for a drink. Ripples formed in the water from where her antennas tapped the surface of the lake.
“Delilah? Delilah? What is bothering you so my child?”
Delilah cautiously looked up and around her. She didn’t see whoever was calling her. She returned to drinking water from the lake.
“Delilah!”
This time the voice startled her and she fell backwards onto the shore.
“Who...who is there?” Delilah asked afraid.
“I Am who I Am. What is troubling you so dear daughter?”
“Why do you call me your child, your daughter? My parents live back at the colony. I know not who you are.”
“I am the Lord, thy God. I am the creator of the heavens and the earth; of all things living on the earth.”
“You…You are God?”
“Yes.”
“Why do You take such an interest in little ol’ me? I am of no importance to anyone.”
“Oh, my child, but you are. You are a unique being. I created you to be just who you are.”
“But I am the same as everyone else. No one even notices me.”
“I notice you. I know everything there is to know about you, Delilah. There is nothing about you that is the same as anyone else.”
Delilah looked down at her reflection in the lake. She saw the same grey beetle that she had seen all of her life. She didn’t feel unique in any way. As far as she could tell, she still looked just like all of the others. Delilah sighed as a single tear dropped from her eyes into the lake causing ripples to travel across the lake.
“My child, why do you feel so low? Do you not know how special you are to Me?”
“I look just like the rest of my kind. I work harder than everyone else does, but the queen believes that all of my hard work is done by the entire colony. I want the recognition that I so richly deserve.”
God was saddened by this. He knew that Delilah was being self-centered and thinking only of herself. He did not want His child to feel so poorly, but He did not want her to be selfish either. He decided to teach her a lesson.
“What is it that you want My child?”
“I want to be different. I want the queen to be able to know that the work being done is being done by me. I want my reward.”
God sighed, “Close your eyes, Delilah.”
He took some mud from the shore of the lake and rubbed it on the top of her head.
“Open your eyes, Delilah and wash your head off in the cool water of the lake.”
Delilah looked curiously into the lake. Her reflection was rippled and unclear. She closed her eyes and began to wash the mud off of her head. As she washed the last of the mud off of her body, her reflection started to clear up. Has something changed? Why did God put mud on my head? Was something supposed to have happened? I don’t feel any different. Then she closed her eyes again and lowered her head beneath the cool surface of the water. As she lifted her head out of the water she noticed something unusual. Her reflection appeared to have an extra pair of eyes and they were staring back at her! I don’t remember ever having eyes on the back of my head before.
“They are not eyes Delilah. You wanted to be different so I gave you spots that look like eyes. With the spots you are now very visible to predators. They will be able to pick you out of the entire colony. However, by shaping the spots to look like eyes, it should deter them from pursuing you.”
She was not sure that she liked her new look. Even so, she did not want to be rude so she thanked the Lord for his gift. Then she returned to her colony.
The beetles from Delilah’s colony whispered and pointed amongst themselves as she walked into the colony. Who was this strange creature entering their beloved colony?
“Who are you and what do you want here?” they asked.
“Do you not know me? I’m Delilah.”
“No, that cannot be. Delilah looks exactly like us, but you are different.”
“But it is me. I worked the fields with you this morning. Mom, Dad surely you recognize me.”
“That sounds like Delilah, but that definitely does not look like her,” her father said.
Tears started to flow from her eyes. It had not occurred to her that no one would recognize her. Though she looked differently, she was still the same person. Surely, the Queen will know me. She walked past the crowd and headed towards the palace.
“What do you want with the Queen?” the guards asked.
“It is me, Delilah. I would like to speak to the Queen,” she said timidly.
“You are not Delilah. We know her. Who are you really?” they asked suspiciously.
“I really am Delilah. Please let me see the Queen. She will recognize me.”
The guards looked at each other. One walked behind Delilah and forced her to walk forward poking her with the tip of his spear. The other guard walked in front of Delilah.
The Queen looked up from her reading as the doors to the throne room opened.
“Yes? What is it?” she asked.
“This creature claiming to be Delilah has demanded to see you. We do not know who she really is or why she needs to speak with you.”
The Queen slowly got up from her throne and crept forward. She kept her eyes on the beetle with her guards. She does not look familiar, but yet there is something familiar about her. The Queen approached Delilah and ran her antennas over her face.
“Delilah? What happened to you?” the Queen asked shocked.
Delilah quickly explained to the Queen all that had happened that morning. Tears fell from her eyes onto the floor. The Queen felt saddened by Delilah’s tears.
“Oh Delilah. How silly you are. Do you not know how unique and special you are? You did not need to look or act differently. I knew who you were all this time. I know the hard work that you do for me in the fields. It is not by the way that you look that you are judged, but by your good works. I am so sorry that I did not reward you for all of your good works. I hope that you will forgive me.”
The Queen then took Delilah into her arms and hugged her.
“I have always loved you for who you are Delilah and not because of the way you look. I’m sorry that you felt lost in the colony. But what’s done is done.”
She smiled down at Delilah as she wiped a single tear from her eyes. Delilah looked down at the floor a moment thinking.
“Perhaps, God will change me back.”
“Perhaps. But either way, I will still love you.”
“It’s okay too if you don’t reward me for my hard work. I should not be so selfish.”
Delilah thanked the Queen before heading home. Her parents looked at her questioningly as she entered their home.
“Is that really you, Delilah?” her mother asked.
“Yes, it’s me, Mom.”
“Why did you do this? Were you not happy with who you were?” her father asked.
“No, but I realize now that I am not what I look like. I am what is on the inside. I hope that you will accept me this way because I’ve decided to stay this way.”
“Oh Delilah, we love you no matter what.”
“Thank you. I love you guys too.”
God smiled as He watched Delilah. He was glad that she had learned from this.

Pam Funke's "The Rise of Nicolaitanes" by Erik Nelson
"War is Hell." "Violence never solves anything." "There are no winners
in war, only losers." These popular sayings about war are true (at least
from my point of view) but according to some of the characters in Pam
Funke's book "Operation Dark Angel", they would disagree and even go as
far as to saying that war helps downsize terrorism or that more war
equals world peace. Unfortunately, many of the people in Government
agree with those characters. Ok before I get too political here, let me
get back to the real subject here; Pam Funke's real yet entertaining
book. Nicolaitanes Balac who is gaining a huge following in the field of
politics has brought General Alexander Ludlow to his side in hopes that
they together will bring world peace. This becomes the birth of their
operation called; "Operation Dark Angel" which is basically the myth of
more war equals world peace. After the operation becomes official, not
only do the soldiers suffer the consequences but many countries do as
well. As war more occurs and the suffrage spreads throughout the world,
Balac and Ludlow realize that their vision doesn't balance with realism
or are they too ignorant to accept failure? For those who have been
paying attention over the past fifteen years to America's national
security, I highly recommend this book for your entertainment because
although many of the themes are real, it's also an entertaining book and
we all need some entertainment to help clear our minds. For the people
who haven't been paying attention to the fact that our military has been
acting like the world's policemen, I highly recommend this book not
just for your entertainment but so that you can also be introduced to
many key factors about what more war actually equates to. As I said
before, not only does Pam Funke write about many of the factors and
myths about war, she also provides us with a great entertaining story in
the center of all the factual chaos. There are also many religious
overtones in the book. This raises another question about religion; does
religion do more harm than good in the world? Well, to answer this
question, you need to remember something; one of the many causes of war
is religion. Where one religion doesn't like another one. For more

So Many Books...So Little Time For Anything Other Than Reading
My author sure has been very busy lately. It's hard to believe there's three books out already about what's going on in my life. Perhaps one of them explains why I'm being hunted down like a dog. If when you're reading you figure it out, by all means please tell me. I would definitely like to know. Especially since I have no recollection of what happened. I don't even know why I even know the man. He's not my type!
In The Rise of Nicolaitanes, you'll discover a little history behind Nicolaitanes Balac. You may even be surprised to find out where he comes from. I know I was which is saying a lot because I was there. You should really go and grab a copy so you can become acquainted with my story. People, you can buy a copy of the first book for FREE! Isn't that amazing?
A mysterious voice tells General Ludlow about a military operation that will bring an end to the world's evil. Nicolaitanes Balac is given political power beyond what anyone has ever been entrusted with before. Who is the voice? Is this the type of power that should be given to a single man? What role will Nicolaitanes play in ending the world's chaos? Will mankind be able to withstand the growing evil spreading across the globe? Will Operation Dark Angel succeed?
In The World at War, this book is really kind of scary. At least to me it is. So much turmoil happens as the world plunges head first in the World War III. I know you probably think things are pretty bad right now with the little wars here but this is so much worse! Close your eyes and picture being in a war zone for a minor war contained in a little area. Okay. Now open your eyes to what you just pictured and multiply it times ten. Now do you get the idea? It's pretty horrible right now.
The world is in complete chaos as major nations wage war against each other forcing mankind to take sides. The entire world is watching Nicolaitanes Balac and his continuing rise to global power. Will he be the one to save the world? Is this who we should rely on for help or will this be the worst mistake that mankind has ever made?
And last but not least is the final book written so far, World Deception. This is what's currently going on around me. The world is being deceived and people are falling for it, but not me.
Mysterious attacks on Israel have caused the world to take sides as WWIII wreaks havoc on the earth. One-fourth of the earth's population has disappeared while another fourth has been slaughtered. The UWR (United World Religion) is steadily gaining power with the help of Nicolaitanes Balac. Who will come to save the people of the world?
Horrible right? By now, I bet you're intrigued as to what is going on in my life. I know I am. I cannot wait for the next part of the series to come out. I never know what it is that I'm going to go through until the book comes out. Funny right? Well, go on and check out the The Apocalypse series! I guarantee you won't be bored. See you around.
