Taken was one of the most popular programs ever aired on the Science Fiction channel. It depicted an attempt at alien contact that failed due to a wrong-headed and violent human response. In the end, the beautiful young girl who was part human and part alien had to return to the alien world because we were just not capable of handling a relationship with her.

This was primarily due to the activities of a violent, vicious and power hungry government group, who sought control over the situation and, most especially, the little girl. They were depicted as people to whom the lives of other human beings meant little, who were willing to murder in pursuit of their sick agenda.

Lilith’s Dream is in bookstores, officially, on Tuesday, October 8. It will be appearing in stores from today, Sunday. There are only about 30,000 copies going out at the moment, so if you want one, get it in the next couple of days. I am going to be touring for the book, just a little bit. For my schedule, click here. I’ll also be on about 30 different local radio stations on October 9, and on Coast to Coast that night.

I’ll be talking about Lilith on local radio stations, and about the UFO situation on Coast. So this journal is going to be about those two closely related subjects.
