Brief Author Bio:

I am primarily a nonfiction writer, but I succeeded at writing a 50,000 word story last year and found it kind of fun, in a gruelling sort of way. Find me on Facebook.

Synopsis: Return of the Elves

When the sons of God, angels, took wives among the daughters of men, their offspring were the Nephilim (Genesis 6). They were the giants or mighty men referred to in the Bible, but in later folklore they became known as elves. They have been living in an underwater world. Now, after a world-wide nuclear war, elves return to restore the earth...but not all of the elves have the same agenda.

Excerpt: Return of the Elves

“God gave Adam dominion over the earth, but humankind’s stewardship has failed. Man’s lust for power has driven him beyond dominion to domination. This very day, that same lust for power has driven the human race to decimate the earth through nuclear war.”

“We knew this day would come. That is why we have a re-vegetation and re-population plan. As sons of Adam, we have learned to cultivate plant life, but as sons of angels, we have the power to accelerate and enhance it. We will be able to take the devastated areas and restore and revegetate them into a New Eden. Then we will repopulate the earth from our human remnant, preserved for this purpose.”

“What human remnant?” asked Wiki.

“Oh, the ones who have arrived here as you have,” replied Em.

“What?” asked Wiki.

“The Bermuda Triangle, as you call it, is the portal to our underwater world. Many vessels pass over those waters and never see our portal, but we have to open the portal at times and any vessel that sees our portal is taken, for we cannot risk being discovered here. We have collected humans in this manner to repopulate the earth after the race of Adam foolishly destroys it.”
