Where Gods Met the Sky: The Sacred Mount Ida
Where Gods Met the Sky: The Sacred Mount Ida In the ancient land of the Troad, a mountain rose above the mist — a mountain the gods themselves once called home. Today we know it as Mount Ida, or Kaz Dağı, but in the distant past, it was far more than a peak on the horizon. For the people who lived beneath its slopes, Ida was the axis of their world — where earth touched heaven and mortals met the divine.

The Shadow of Booth: Did Lincoln’s Killer Cheat Death?
It’s a dusty summer evening in 1872, and you’re sitting in a dimly lit Texas saloon. The air smells of whiskey and sweat, and behind the bar, a man named John St. Helen is reciting Shakespeare with a flourish that could make the room hush. His dark hair’s going gray at the edges, but there’s something magnetic about him-a lean frame, a quick draw of a pistol when he thinks no one’s watching. You lean closer, intrigued. Then, in a fevered whisper years later, he confesses something that makes your blood run cold: “I’m John Wilkes Booth.” Wait-what? The guy who killed Abraham Lincoln? The man history says was gunned down in a Virginia barn in 1865? My curiosity spiked, and I couldn’t stop wondering: could this be true? Could Booth have pulled off the greatest escape in American history?

The Cursive Writing Club
This is an old time production with no AI generated photos. I have had negative responses about my acceptance of AI technology. Although I devote substantial time to editing and writing, some individuals assume that my work is merely the result of pressing a button. So, I decided to share old vintage cursive writing. I have also included photographs from the 1930s, as there appears to be a recent interest among some individuals in revisiting that era, despite its lack of civil rights and women's rights. I disagree with them. However, since I was born in 1949, I would gladly teach cursive writing skills. This is satire with historical archive content. No fancy editing. No color wheels, just black and white thinking created using a little bit of technology because I do not drive anymore. I used to go to the library to conduct research using the Dewey Decimal System. I prefer MSN COPILOT to carry a backpack full of library books. Some people are genuinely excited about moving in reverse. Go for it but go with gusto.

Scientists from across the world have sent dozens of space probes and rovers to explore its surface, atmosphere, and secrets. Because deep down, we all believe that if life ever existed — or could exist — anywhere beyond Earth, it would be on Mars.

EPISODE II – THE FIRE AND THE FORGE: The Revolution That Built a Nation
Before the nation was born, it was burned... Smoke curled through the valleys of rebellion, a gray veil over red earth and restless hearts. The colonies had spoken their defiance in ink, but now came the language of fire and powder. It was 1776, and the world watched in disbelief as a ragged collection of farmers, tradesmen, and philosophers challenged the greatest empire on Earth.
