Note: this passage is from a scene about the Cloud Queen (Gilda),
the uncontested ruler of thirty billion Scavengers. Scavengers are a species of
enormous hominids that were invading Earth’s solar system.

Gilda having a discussion with her house staff
Gilda went berserk. She trashed half of her private quarters in the
process. She yelled obscenities at her entire staff, vowing that when she won
the Succession Competition she would have the idiot who had chosen the wolf
pack fed alive to some truly vicious wolves (if some could be found, that is). Do
I have to do
everything, including train wolves, for God’s
sake? she thought.
Sue had not been able to stop laughing during the competition and
almost fell out of her chair. This was not lost on the queen when she saw the
replay. So far, the queen was ahead in trials won, but inside she felt she was
behind—very behind.

What is the Lunar Dragonfly Guild? First of all, LunarDragonFlyGuild is the name of my website and blog.
The Guild is a work in progress. One book published one step into the future.
The name is a combination of several concepts from my imagination. Lunar or moon is from my first book to be published: Volume 1, Mona Lisa on the Moon, Thirty-Two Thousand Years in the Making. This is the lead book of multiple volumes already written, but not yet published. The series is a saga about an exceptional young woman, Captain Mona Ann Lisa and the history of the modern human species. This story was inspired by an Urban Legend of an alleged secret space mission (Apollo 20) to the Moon where a female body in stasis was recovered from a highly advanced, crashed, two-mile-long spaceship. This ship was thought to be many million or thousands of years old.
In my fictious story, I created Mona Ann Lisa, her family,
and friends. I created a history and
placed her into a fantastic advanced civilization that existed on the Earth
32,000 years ago. I modeled the
civilization after the information presented by a group of alternate-history
enthusiasts that called themselves Alterwelt. I have added much detail to their
original concepts and have gone far beyond their limited time in history,
location and science/technology discussed.
DragonFly is a favorite insect of mine and I am fascinated by its capabilities. It is a most ancient and highly effective survivor, being found in great numbers in fossils throughout the world. I use this insect motif to decorate my yard and garden. I also had a dear friend that died all too young and she told me that when I see a dragonfly, it just might be her coming for a visit.
In my story, the enormous spaceship that is Mona’s flagship is the Leviathan. Leviathan’s logo was chosen by Captain Lisa as was the custom in her culture. Thus, the Dragonfly was emblazoned on her hull before the ship’s launch.
A Guild is a collection of artisans that band together to from a more capable and powerful presence than if there were no such group. It is my hope that someday the Lunar Dragonfly Guild will be a full-grown enterprise. It will be much more than a book factory. It will include a wide range of imaginative products including, graphics, photography, games, music, video and full-length movies, etc.
I was sent today a thirty second and a ninety second version of the introduction to my book. These two presentations are the final product. I will try to link them to this post. They are available on my Twitter account. I think they look pretty good. I would be interested in your opinion. I think they both capture the essence of my first book in many ways. The thing that is not detailed in such a brief presentation are the challenges and threats that Mona faced and overcame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUmIgtQxSH0&feature=youtu.be and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8Rk9L7m-Jk&feature=youtu.be
Greeting all! I am beginning to learn how to set up and use my website, Facebook, Twitter and other tools. Since my first book was published in Jan 2019, I have been busy trying to let people know it exists. I am very excited to bring you my first book. The story is fiction but contains much that I know through my many years on this planet and years of work in several fields of study.
I believe the unseen universe has direct and immediate consequences in our “real” world. As my story unfolds the reader will detect my main character Mona has abilities that others within her culture don’t have. She is actually an architype of Jon of Arc. She has visions and experiences that are spiritual in character. While she lives in a very cut and dry culture that is dominated by science and technology, she is the exception. Her exceptional nature matures and grows as the saga unfolds.
Not only does my story contain advanced science and technology but the conflict between knowledge versus wisdom as well as between morality and technology come to the forefront. I have included my version of Alternate History. This history is a compilation of my own theories and that of a group calling themselves Alterwelt. Basically, the history is the belief that the Earth has gone through several reboots. That is, high and complex civilizations have existed on the Earth only to be destroyed and then the remnant survivors eventually give birth to the next version. We are in at least the third phase of this rebirth.
