Oh let’s face it, the arena of life is filled with critics regardless of what profession, or walk of life you're from. Everyone has a say, which really belongs to the person who's critiquing whatever it is they're reading, working on, or just want to chime in on something other than their own. Projecting evaluations of another’s work isn’t the last say, it's only one person’s say! It doesn’t mean it’s a definitive, or a means to sway others in any direction whatsoever. It's merely just input, giving direction of sorts to either, better oneself in the area of expertise of your work, or just trying to give a personal perspective on their very own liking of whatever it is you're doing or have done.


It's a blessing in disguise really when you think of it, for it lends the credence of you and in saying so; they're taking notice of you. Good or bad, a critique is still “Good”, as it's the benchmark for you to work at understanding the fact, not everyone will like, or achieve that same result as many others who might agree, or even disagree with what's being evaluated.


Never walk away from a Critic’s view point, for remember, it’s only one view point that actually is constructive criticism and you can draw from that. Once again, no one critique will be the same as the other, thus, you, as the subject of the inquisition, have an opportunity to utilize all aspects of what's being said. A personal point of view has its merits and then again, that's all it is, a personal point of view. Remember, the critic, is only as good as his/her critique, which gives you the upper hand in the first place. Always look at it through rose colored glasses, as well as a glass half full!

You enter a tangled web of many miles traveled within your Imagination sitting in an apocalyptic timeframe, as a nation of blood thirsty Zombies desire to devour you. The adventure, mystery and horrific happenings seem to slowly play out in a realm of no return. Once bitten, twice shy, you might say! Not for the Vampire enthusiast, who loves the elegance of intrigue – this will surely grab you, plunging your very soul into a lustful heart-pounding adventure of Vampires, who seek out beautiful innocence. The desire of blood-curdling moments seize your interest, you turn page after page, faster and faster, all while being drawn into an illusion of a trance no one can resist. You turn a corner of the unknown that lurks in the dark. It sits quietly waiting, ready to envelope your very being. Paranormal happenings, which stretch the imagination far beyond a mindscape, send chills down your spine. You’re now engulfed within a nightmare, placed on the precipice of the abyss. The climatic venue keeps you glued to every word, creating so much detail within your mind, it drives you to want more, so much more.

The best part of any young adult horror/fantasy reading is that escape: the lure of desire and the yearning to know, to want, or belong in the traumatic splendor it offers. Captivating of course, the craving of words permeates your soul as your eyes peer into the pages seeking the horror it brings. Oh, you can very well see yourself in this role, as you read more into the subject matter of the horror story. It edges you on, leading you on a path to which your curiosity gets the best of you. It holds you completely hostage, while you anxiously continue to read the deepest, darkest secrets it has to offer.

Getting lost in the story is exactly where you want to be while you try to escape the clutches of evil that beckons you into its lair. The seduction becomes overwhelming as the horror that plays out only entices you. You are now part of the characters that are written within the pages. The plague of anxiety is exciting, so-much-so that you can’t put the book down. Welcome to your new found home – the horror realm.

"Astounding Roller Coaster Ride. This Book Is Epic! It is well written as the climax begins on page 2 right to the end with an unexpected twist. Just Genius! I have one specific scene that is still haunting me from last night. The part between Zebra Station and the #2 Pod I believe...That writing is so exciting I'm heavily reminded of The Airport Scene in Stephen Kings The Langoliers. The reason I make that comparison is that is absolutely one of my favorite books and it was represented well in movie form. I make this coloration because it is EXTREMELY Easy to see this book in movie form and I would be extremely excited to hear that as a possibility too!" Michael Kalinowski

The men/women who Aspire to Inspire, have sat in situations where they've listened only to reach out to another, giving hope and aspirations for their dreams, so they too can one day do the same.

Dreams, the ideas of notions that flutter around in one’s mindset that give color to many aspects, which drives the heart to create, to be the creator, the inventor of Aspiration. A child sits and daydreams of far off distant places, with many different scenarios that are part of their youth, those around them, and perhaps some new friends they've imagined. The innocence of creativity, is the foundation to us all, the love of inventing making things come true, or at best, the start of something to come.

Putting pen to paper is one of the most beautiful creative ways to express your ideas, dreams, or maybe that long awaited thought you've just had to get down in writing. It cascades you into a realm of many different places, people, adventures and to think, what an escape it is, as you lustfully crave more and more of this pleasant place to be.

Sharing all this with many, is but a treasure of many troves and bliss of something no one can ever take from you. This is something in life that's non-negotiable, for it's from you, about you, it's part of you and no one owns that, but you!

You see it much in the way of face-to-face conversations, where people share ideas, actions, or just a friendly smile. Have we lost our way in how to communicate in real life versus that of the computer? Have we evolved into demographic key strokes so-much-so, that living the normalcy of life has become a quick enter, or delete situation? Research may show that people do spend more time sitting at a computer, rather than around the dining room table for supper, where real time interaction takes place with humans and not that of machines. What have we become? Some might say, it’s a new way of life, but is it life really? Where's the human interaction, rather than the screen in front of the keyboard and the “send button”?

Has society manipulated itself into believing we're progressing into the future, but could this be just a deceitful way of stating things? Oh how bliss the days of old, where neighbors spent hours just talking over the fence, sharing in conversation in real time. The days of walking down the street stopping to talk to a stranger passing moments of intellectual interaction has now come to logging on to facebook or twitter, sitting eating bonbons and wondering why those extra few pounds won’t disappear.

Is it Interaction, or inter-dependency, on what could be considered, not so mind stimulating after all?

Just one man’s perspective!

Is this book trying to tell us something? 4 Major Events coming true AFTER book is published!

Good morning EVERYONE! I have some really spine tingly news!!!!!!! As you know, I wrote TIME SHIFT THE PARADIGM, and since its release 3 synchronicities have come true, before, or after its release. One being the projection of the 9.0 earthquake and Tsunami, off the coast of Japan, then days later it happened. Well, I’ve just received in the mail, an article and in the article a 4th premonition, if you will, or synchronicity has come true. It’s almost the exact wording, to which I wrote about in 2011-2012 area then released May 10 2012. Well, one major scene in the book has now come to fruition and as you read this article (and those of you who have read Time Shift The Paradigm), will notice immediately and it too will send chills down your spine.

http://www.heritagedaily.com/2013/01/...


This all started as a project writing a movie script in hopes, it might be picked up and developed. Through corresponding at times with a producer in the early days of the script throughout the end of 2011 and right up until the last day before the actual 9.0 earthquake and Tsunami, we had discussed many principles within the script itself. I know for some, it’s hard to imagine writing events that actually do happen and out of thought this all comes. It’s true! I made insertions or postings, if you will, during the time of March 2 up until March 10 2011 in a public forum, which still remain today, explaining in heading as such >PANIC< that was one of the postings titles. From there, I made mention of “Chaos, catastrophe, Peru, the world, Black Abyss, Tsunami etc.) I make mention of a team of scientists working in Peru, looking for many historical artifacts and come upon a mountain area to a door that was sealed and behind growth, vines and the jungle. (Exactly like the article which you will read that brings the book to #4 synchronicity or premonition) detailed in writing long before it became news.


What’s remarkable about the release of Time Shift The Paradigm in a timely fashion, is the fact the night of May 9 2012 it was submitted to Createspace for release. On May 10 2012, it posted hardcopy release with date attached on Amazon. The cover of the book depicts the world (our world), burning through the Mayan calendar. This is representation of us, who live here on earth moving forward and that the missing piece or link to the calendar we come to know where it had a prediction of the end of the world was not true. Late afternoon on CNN news broke on the 10 of May after the books release, scientist found in a cave a complete Mayan calendar that had a complete cycle and the world would not end. The book was released before the finding making it a premonition in writing (a story line) come true and synchronicity #2 came true. During the course of June-July of 2012 once again in the news on CNN and other news channels, Scientists seemed to have found a Universe very similar to ours with a planet that “mirrored” our planet. The book tells a story of parallel universe that is a “mirrored” image of ours and is a huge key to the story. People were able to see this “mirrored” image in the book and describe it as our world, but only on the different parallel plain. Syncronicity or premonition #3, written about long before the finding of that solar system, or universe with a planet just like ours that made the news.


Is the book trying to tell us something? Is it revealing things of major proportions that will allow us to understand whatever message it has coded within that is in a storyline? A roadmap perhaps!? Below you will find a correlation told by the producer, Mr. Don Hutcheson, who is a scientist with many inventions to his name. He has credentials of working with, or for Homeland Security through an affiliate company and that of working in the past for one of the top innovative companies in the world.


“In early 2011, Robbie and I were discussing his movie scripts for his Psychic Nightmare Trilogy. He mentioned to me, he was writing a new script that had an end of times theme to it. It was a worldwide apocalypse with catastrophic events in Peru, United States, and Japan. On March 10, 2011 in a telephone conversation, Robbie described for me the turbulent end-of-the world events contained in the writings, which included a giant tsunami caused by a nine point zero (9.0) earthquake. I thought nothing of it until Robbie and I talked two days later after the event in Japan. Imagine my surprise when the eight point nine (8.9) earthquake that caused the tsunami that hit Japan was reclassified as a nine point zero (9.0) earthquake. It is either a remarkable coincidence or a premonition written by Robbie and discussed with me just a day before it actually happened.
Remarkable!
~ Don Hutcheson, Creative Producer, Liftoph Productions


Although the book itself has received many outstanding reviews from critics worldwide, it continues to this day to surprise even me for the focus was, seeing all this play out in my mind then put to paper. Sometimes premonitions play out like this and come in a course of time that might help, or explain the unknown happenings we all see that come true. Sometimes, they come where one might not be paying attention, but thinking on a much broader span doing something very different, but correlates to what's going on at that time. Messages through cognitive thinking! Einstein and many of the world’s greatest thinkers of our time were said to have imagined, daydreamed and even from dreams, had messages from a different plain sent to them. We all know from history and from their work what came of those moments they encountered. Many of us today do the same, many of us sometimes are passed messages and shrug them off as coincidence, or meaningless, until it happens whatever that event might be.


Time Shift The Paradigm – Timeless messages of what has come true and perhaps what is still to come!

A paranormal adventure into terror, February 6, 2013
By B. Davis "B Davis"

Another spine tingling chiller, thriller from Robbie Thomas. His books always keep me riveted to my seat and this one is no different.
I love that when Robbie writes a book, it puts you right into the story and right into the minds of the characters.
You really feel like you are there with them as their journey into the paranormal becomes all to real and all to terrifying for them.
If you love horror and the paranormal then you need to get a copy of Parasylum. Then go sit in your favorite chair, in a darkened room, with a dimly lit lamp and prepare to be thoroughly spooked.
I can't wait to see what Robbie Thomas come up with next? Well done.

Parasylum II The Unleashed
by Robbie Thomas (CreateSpace 2013)

http://www.robbiethomas.net

✯✯✯✯✯

Parasylum is back and it’s scarier than ever! Robbie Thomas has once again proven he is a master at writing horror. The fear is palatable and without a doubt will have your heart pounding and you at the edge of your seat.

After the surprise ending in the first Parasylum installment you would think a whole new cast of characters would be on this investigation. But you would be wrong. The team of five is back in full force on what could be the one to go down in their records as the investigation that almost ended their lives.

From the moment the team sets foot in the Rendezvous Hotel, they are confronted with threats by the ghosts of mobsters from the 1920s looking to add more victims to their stockpile. With each floor they investigate, the walls seem to come alive with demons and monsters, and situations that will have the team questioning their sanity.

Throw in a rogue team of investigators and the haunting ramps up to an even horrific level, causing them all to start running for their lives in search of escape from the Rendezvous Hotel.

Any horror aficionado will crawl inside this book wanting to take part in the terrifying action. Thomas, a psychic and avid paranormal investigator, knows the terror of an active investigation. As a result, he is able to transfer the fear into words that most definitely rival Steven King, the reigning master of horror.

The devil is in the details and Thomas has done his homework. He brings all the elements of investigation to his readers in the form of equipment and terminology. He continued development of his characters that enables readers to make a connection, which inevitably draws them further into the story.

Bottom line; if you are looking for a horror story that will have you turning on all the lights, checking under the furniture and making sure the doors are all locked, this is the book for you. Pull up your big boy panties and be prepared for the scare of your lives. This one is a killer.

I'll be LIVE tonight talking to Kevin Smith about all this and more that has come true out of this book, Time Shift The Paradigm! Is this book a warning for us all as the 5th premonition has come true!

This is a show you reallly don't want to miss!

www.kevinsmithshow.com

Has the 5th premonition come true in Time Shift The Paradigm, or is there still more to come? In the book, I write about Russia and fire from the sky in the Domensk region (this is a name I gave it, I don’t know if there's a region of this name) however,

“Falling meteor in Russia injures hundreds CBS NEWS, residents of Chelyabinsk, about 1500 kilometers east of Moscow, the biggest city in the affected region."

I write about an area just outside of Moscow as both presidents (from the United States and Russia speak on the phone). Look how the last few letters of the town names spelled. Coincidence, I really don’t think so. Time Shift The Paradigm, is this book trying to tell us something?

Here is the link for the news about the Meteor and Russia.

Here is also more on the 5 complete written about events that have come to pass since May 10 2012 that this book shows it's a living history in the making.
