“This is an amazing story. Everyone should thoroughly enjoy reading it. I was impressed with how the authors managed to incorporate the known information on the lost continent of Atlantis, Light Workers, souls, reincarnation, time travel and the early years of Albert Einstein before he became famous, into a mesmerizing work of fiction readers will have difficulty putting down.
–Doug Simpson, Author of We Lived in Atlantis
“I could not stop reading this book. I read at stop lights and in line at the grocery store. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.” –— award winning children’s author, Lisa Reinicke
This is highly recommended for those who enjoy a saga of good vs. evil that spans tens of thousands of years, for readers who devour novels that blend history and fantasy, and for anyone who is simply looking for a unique story that they will not want to put down.
Excerpt from “Interlude III” of
Einstein’s Compass
by Grace Blair & Laren Blair
The regal Akhenaten, in a simple knee-length, ivory shendyt, slipped off his sandals. He sat down and crossed his legs. He relaxed into a lotus position under a majestic oak tree outside the Temple of Research. From the sky he heard a trisyllabic oop-oop-oop, and fixated on a hoopoe bird circling above. The bird’s broad and rounded wings swooped down. With wings in a beat, like that of a giant butterfly, flew into a nest box mounted between two branches of the tree.
“Master Aten,” said Koral Kendra, a young neophyte in a natural temple garment. Her chestnut hair wrapped in golden threads cascaded when she walked toward Akhenaten. She possessed the gift of looking through the telegenic portal. The training was difficult because neophytes like her had to go beyond understanding. She lived within a Temple of Seers, all women who made the temple their way of life, a devotion she loved.
“Koral, how good to see you. What can I do for you?” replied Master Aten.
Her face lit up with excitement and seemed to glow. “Do you have a moment to show me how to search through time using your telegenic portal? I have completed my training in the Seer’s Temple. Saint Theresa of Avila directed me to you. I wonder if you could show me how a Traveler sees through time. I learned that Travelers come to bring a special balancing. To help transmute the negativity of the people they serve to each period in history.”
“Of course, I am glad to know you have ascended to the next level in your training. Yes, Koral you are correct in your understanding of role of a Mystical Traveler. I might add that your virtues of keeping one’s word. Personal integrity, unconditional loving as well as holding a consciousness of upliftment. These will give you strength enough to advance to even higher levels of awareness.” Master Aten gestured for her to sit next to him on the carpet of grass.
Koral settled next to Master Aten. She gazed into her teacher’s eyes asked, “May I ask you a few questions before we work with the portal?”
Her curiosity brought a broad smile as he replied, “What would you like to know?”
Koral asked, “How did you become a Mystical Traveler? Where did you come from?”
Master Aten rested back on the tree behind him. He replied, “On earth I ruled the country of Egypt. My name Pharaoh Amenhotep IV. I became driven to be God’s most dedicated prophet. In a dream God asked me to build the city Armana. A place comparable to a ‘New Jerusalem’. Here a universal teaching, that of the knowledge of one God called Aten. A radiant being communicating through light and sound. A spiritual man dedicated to the glory and brightness of the Egyptian Sun. As Aten, I turned Egyptian tradition upside down. The changes were not welcomed by most of my people. Their rejection of my heresy, and my death, was swift and complete. The memory and teachings of light and sound has left a distinct place of reference in history.
Koral wanted to know more about life on Earth “Are there many mystical travelers? How do they help people on Earth?”
Master Aten replied.” Yes, there are many mystical travelers. Some are poets, writers, scientists, philosophers and teachers on Earth. A few have held the keys to soul transcendence. The practice of awareness of yourself. Awareness of your Soul, awareness of God.The inner mysteries of light and sound held secrets for many centuries until the Mystical Traveler Jesus. During his lifetime he made the inner wisdoms available to the masses. Now the spiritual knowledge is available to anyone who awakens to the truth within.”
Master Aten pointed to the telegenic portal. He said, “Let’s begin your lesson on the telegenic portal.”
The telegenic portal was the size of a large, horizontal book. It had the appearance of a mirror of precious stone planed and smooth. Backed with a dark material to hold the light within the surface. For many months the children trained as Seers would gaze within these portals. They would see the colors, and the light and symbols of the spirit world. Their vision would deepen to the vibration and color of the world around them. They would feel, hear and see in their portal, the colors and emanations of the world of spirit. Daily meditations and spiritual inner exercises honed their ability.
Master Aten laid the telegenic portal down in front of them. He waved his hand over the portal to clear the screen.
Reset, the portal projected the holographic sacred geometric pattern of the Flower of Life. The floating flower pulsed energy all around.

It begins with my continuing association with Lone Star Literary Life and the periodic use of this forum to assist them in promoting Texas authors and their work. Currently featured on the Lone Star Blog Tour is the YA Action-Adventure book Einstein’s Compass by Grace Blair and Laren Bright. Targeted at readers age 12-18, it imaginatively takes a look at a young Albert Einstein, time travel and spiritual exploration to explain how he arrived at his groundbreaking theory of relativity. Look for an excerpt from the book January 7th.
I do not have a release date yet, but I’m working closely with Page Publishing on both page and cover design and will post publication information to my blog as soon as it is available.
Texas Blood: Seven Generations Among the Outlaws, Ranchers, Indians, Missionaries, Soldiers, and Smugglers of the Borderlands is far more than the genealogy of author Roger D. Hodge’s family. It is the story of the land itself, the past and present history of the border Southwest.
