Book Description
Cataclysmic events set the stage for the formation of an unlikely partnership that will bend the course of history. In China a brutal attack by a rampaging warlord sends a rich young couple on a desperate voyage where they become targets of the Tong Of The Black Hand. Meanwhile, a half-dead Yankee officer escapes from a notorious Confederate prison and returns to his ranch and the arms of his raven haired wife, a beauty in bootpants. Fate, destiny, or maybe just pure accident will soon bring Malcolm and Steffi Frazier and Ben Wang and Su Chang together. Events unfold rapidly when copper prices skyrocket. Bank stock in an Arizona mining venture becomes available to Ben and his banker when the mine owners are gunned down. The bankers wife is murdered during a kidnapping in which Su Chang is captured by the Tong and taken to Colorado. Malcolm leads a high mountain rescue attempt and Steffi gains heroine status when forced into a gunbattle with rustlers, actions which endear them to Ben Wang who now controls the mining stock. In this fast paced thinking person's thriller, the reader is swept up in blazing action occurring in China, Kansas, Colorado, Mexico, and Arizona, and is treated to a rare look into the financial pressures and strategies to be dealt with as our heroes prepare to embark on the adventure of a lifetime: The quest for the untold riches of the Rose Pit Mine. It all welds a colorful cast of never-to-be-forgotten characters together in a saga which will enrich the reader from beginning to end. BLACK HAND OVER KANSAS-the first in a series of three books-stands alone. It can be enjoyed singly, or, if the reader is caught up in the adventure, THE JOURNADA DEL MUERTO and THE VICTORS will be available for publication soon.

Book Description
Have we lived past lives? If so, can those lives reveal themselves in our dreams? "Bloodlines of the Soul" is a dazzling account of lifetimes recovered from the unconscious to instruct and inspire dreamers in search of self-knowledge. In this groundbreaking work, Sabine Lucas discloses the process of discovering her own many past lives as women and men from several historical ages and backgrounds. In a brilliant synthesis, she connects the crucial soul lessons learned from those lifetimes with important turning points in her present lifetime. The second half of the book is devoted to four remarkable case studies that range over many centuries and landscapes, including the life of a Native American in the Old West, a soldier in revolutionary Russia, a compassionate Nazi camp matron at Dachau, a hapless emperor of Mexico, a ruthless Viking, King Richard the Lion-Hearted, and dozens of other fascinating lives. Through these many colorful life stories, Dr. Lucas weaves her fundamental thesis, that we not only live many times over, but we also carry karma earned or levied upon us from one lifetime to another. It is a message that carries tremendous responsibility--and opportunities for healing--for the individual. Professional therapists will find here a wealth of information on the healing process through dream work. Lay readers will discover the thrill of uncovering the mysteries of the psyche. Both emotionally engaging and intellectually satisfying, this book is a major contribution to the literature of dreams and of inner exploration by a distinguished Jungian psychotherapist--and masterful storyteller. Joseph Dispenza is the author of "The Way of the Traveler," "Live Better Longer," and ten other books. He is the co-founder of LifePath Retreats in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
