UFOs over My Hometown

How many of you believe in aliens? Do you know someone who has had a real encounter with aliens or UFOs?

“Visitors: The Battle of Great Mound City”, is based on the true accounts of people who have been abducted by aliens or who have visited UFOs.

I’m a bit more open-minded than most because I had an out-of-the-body experience during my sophomore year at Mount Holyoke College. That experience changed my life. Over the years, I’ve met a community of people who claim to have been abducted. After hearing their stories, I decided to put them into a book of fiction--it’s up to you to decide where the fiction ends and the truth begins. Their fantastic stories made me think deeply about the mysteries of the Universe.

How many of you have friends or family in the Air Force?

It always fascinates me when I speak to Air Force families. Somebody always knows somebody who claims to have seen a UFO.

I live in an Air Force community. In 2005, news anchor Peter Jennings covered UFO sightings, spotted literally right over my residence, in an ABC Documentary, “UFOs: Seeing is Believing.” The program interviewed people from O’Fallon, Shiloh, Dupo, Lebanon and other nearby towns who said they had witnessed a massive, triangular UFO, the size of a football field, floating across the area.

A close friend, who has admitted to being abducted by aliens, sought out the police officers, first responders and others who were interviewed. They opened up to him because he was also a police officer who had witnessed a UFO, over East Saint Louis, Ill., years prior. At that time, many people across the St. Louis, Mo. viewing area, called the local television station saying they had seen the same UFO. A local television station said, on the air, “Do not fear, because the little green men mean no harm.”

Whether you are a believer of extraterrestrials or not, “Visitors: The Battle of Great Mound City,” is true sci-fi. It’s a story that the entire family can enjoy.

Ten-year-old Jia Spearman suspects there’s more to her family’s hasty relocation than she’s been told. Dad, Mom and Granny aren’t giving up any secrets as the family races halfway across the country to meet the moving van in their new hometown of Great Mound City. Jia’s siblings, Cory and Wil, are oblivious to the events swirling around them.

But Jia desperately wants to know what’s behind the mystery move. After all, her retired Air Force captain dad had been declared unfit to fly after experiencing horrific nightmares and hallucinations when he was a commercial airline pilot. Suddenly he has a new assignment working at one of the largest Air Force bases in the Midwest. What is up, a confused Jia wants to know.

Once in Great Mound City, Jia and her siblings meet new neighbors, Stormye, Arye, Wendye and Skye, who take them on an exciting adventure—a test flight to initiate them into an exclusive group of young warriors. The younger Spearmans must take up a game that will change their lives forever.

Along the way, each member of the Spearman clan will interact with an incredible cast of characters—visitors from another galaxy—all living secretly among the residents of Great Mound City. Their mission is to teach key families the secrets of the Universe, while preparing them for battle—and the biggest alien transfer ever.
