Tom and G.E.R.I. 2.0

It’s not every day you encounter a woman who has been on Earth 150 years and who wants you to travel across the Galaxy to solve an urgent problem. Tom Williams hadn’t been planning to go on a trip anywhere. He has been content to explore his forest where he recently found a Galactic Exploration and Research Intelligence (G.E.R.I.) that he named GERI. GERI is able to become invisible which is helpful when DARPA and NASA come asking questions about strange happenings in the K...

A new stand alone novel set in the Pacific Northwest

Tom Williams had been away from his hometown, Tipton, Washington, for fifteen years. When he had the opportunity to purchase the forest he had always wanted to explore as boy he bought it right away. He returned home expecting to explore the mysteries of the forest, and quickly found that the universe had a way of complicating things.

The post Tom and G.E.R.I. – New Release appeared first on C. A. KNUTSEN.

The Janus Unfolding Series continues.

Responding to a whisper from a mysterious ethereal Entity, the Sunaj Team, Sam, Carmen, Jesse and Ahleeto set out aboard the Lorengi ship Thelika, toward a planet thousands of light-years from Earth. The urgency in the message is compelling, but they don’t know why they are needed, whether they were heading into danger, or if they will ever make it back home.

Now the entire series is Free on Kindle Unlimited

Ancient Agendas takes you to that point thousands of light-years distant and slightly above the galactic plane where Carmen had detected an intense concentration of consciousness at the end of Inheritance. What the Sunaj scientists discover there takes you further into the realms of the impossible.

Emergence, Factotum and Inheritance form the foundation for humanity’s expansion into the galaxy, and what they will do when they go there. Sam Baxter’s tongue-in-cheek comment...

Consciousness Influences Energy and Gives Shape to Our Universe.

“Consciousness! Ah ha! He’s talking about us, Sadie.” Yes, but there is more to consciousness, Horatio, than is dreamt of in your philosophy. Just ask Helena.

Everything in the Universe, throughout all its kingdoms, is conscious: i.e., endowed with a consciousness of its own kind and on its own plane of perception.

As to the shaping of things, Pierre thought:

I recently read Beyond Cloud Nine by Greg Spry and saw an announcement of a suspected Planet Nine. I thought of the two together because so much of the book takes place out in our solar system

I really liked the book. It was an exciting story set in the not too distant future.

There are well described and choreographed space battles. The mysterious foes out maneuver all the good guys, but the heroine’s faster reflexes allow her to survive.

I really liked the author’s treatment of the science...

You will findseveral themes in Emergence and the Janus Unfolding series each with its own source of inspiration.

Foremost is the mysterious Jim Post in Emergence. The mystery and the and the beginning of the book came to me in a dream. A wealthy and mysterious man had built a grand home in Southwest Washington State in our near future. The locals knew nothing about him.

The home was on fire, and burning so hot that the fire department couldn’t put it out. When the fire finally burnt itself ou...

379 copies of Emergence were sold for $0.99. Happily also about20copies each of the other two books in the series, Factotum and Inheritance, were also sold at the regular pri...

The quote from Emily Dickinson in the photo belowis typical of posts I started making this week in response to Shari Stauch of Where Writers Win, who suggested I post on Twitter at least once a day.

I was searching for content. I posted one of my book covers occasionally with a quote from that book. Too much of that is spam. I knew I had to look elsewhere for additional content. So I made my own.

People responded favorably to the posts. I begangetting more followers on Twitter and likes and...
