Feel the Magic


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Edmond, OK (Gondwana Press) October 19, 2007 -- Gondwana Press LLC announces the release of Eric Wilder’s newest book Just East of Eden. What do chicken sacrifices, oil wells and black panthers have in common? They are all storylines from Wilder’s prolific imagination that are highlighted in his latest outing.

Just East of Eden is a hybrid page-turner based on the author’s popular story blog by the same name. Wilder transports his readers on a rapid-fire journey between misty waterfalls in the Ouachita Mountains, steamy brothels in Vietnam, and a setting sunset amid filigree ironwork in the heart of the French Quarter - the ultimate destination located somewhere between reality and your wildest fantasy.

Author of Big Easy, a murder mystery set in post-Katrina New Orleans, Wilder has also penned Murder Etouffee, Prairie Sunset and A Gathering of Diamonds. Heather Froeschl of Quilldipper.com says, “The natural course of events is to take the blog and publish parts of it for those who still like to feel the pages turn beneath their fingers and breathe the scent of ink and paper. Eric Wilder has done this with his newest book, “Just East of Eden,” and I am delighted.”

Circle of Life

The ancients were avid students of astrology. Many early civilizations followed the cycles of the sun, moon and earth with mathmatical accuracy. Druids, Mayans and American Indians - as well as inhabitants of ancient Ireland - constructed elaborate stone cairns to assist in pinpointing both the autumnal and vernal equinox, and the summer and winter solstices.

Yesterday was the vernal, or spring, equinox. Quite literally, this means there are twelve hours of darkness and twelve hours of light, an event that occurs only twice every year. Pagans and neo-pagans celebrated this day as holy.

Holy or not, the cycles of the universe, life and death, are of interest, like the ancients, to all of us. It's a pity that there is little or no written record of the secrets the ancients possibly knew. And isn't it interesting the seemingly worldwide knowledge of the nether-science of astrology that not one person in a thousand knows today?

Diamonds and Lemon Drop Candy

Diamonds in Arkansas, you say? Real diamonds? Just ask a recent Wisconsin visitor to the Crater of Diamonds in Arkansas. Bob Wehle of Ripon, Wisconsin walked away from the park on October 14 with a 5.47 carat canary yellow diamond that looked a lot like “lemon-drop candy.” This gem, worth about $75,000, is not even the largest diamond found at the park this year. That record goes to a 6.35 carat brown diamond found in September.

Known by many as the richest 160 acres on the face of the earth, the Murfressboro diamond deposit also is the home of the hardest diamonds found on earth. This deposit of diamonds is extremely rare because it occurs at the earth’s surface.

Are there more diamond pipes in Arkansas as yet undiscovered? Read my new book A Gathering of Diamonds and learn the answer.
