When I first wrote my novel from 1989, entitled Eye of the Pharaoh, I did not know that events in my book would later cause or foresee or predict future ones. It was fictional at that time. When I submitted the book for Copyright Registration in 1995 (After I discovered it was published by my reviewer from 1991 - illegally of course) I stated it was "Fiction." In 2001 the USA was attacked by Arab-Terrorists in 2 cities where my character visits in my storyline - NY and Washington DC; my character is not a terrorist, nor am I; the character visits these places en route to Egypt, wherein he finds and brings back to life the wife of Tutankhamon, the character Ankhesenamon. People believed I had something to do with Sept. 11, 2001 attack -- this proved false when Al Qaeda said "no American knew of their plans to attack USA." So some people believed in this lie, and tried to attack me in various ways, some even claimed I am the Biblical Antichrist -- and this of course is a religious Hate Crime on their part. The American Psychic Jeane Dixon started this belief when she had a vision of "the Child from the East" or a descendent of Tutankhamon (or tut reborn) who makes a new religion; later she says this person is the Antichrist because of her pro-Christian ideology whereby her faith poisoned her psychic abilities. She said Tut "was so Christ-like, with an unnatural planning for this boy.. who would create a new, all-embracing religion." Dixon was famous for seeing the John F. Kennedy assassination vision before it happened. She had the effect of having one successful vision followed by several false leads; the "Jeane Dixon Effect." I wrote more than 3 religions since Eye of the Pharaoh. Take your pick. My book had other events: the War on Terrorism was first, then followed by the Arab Spring (revolution in Egypt ending in Democracy), and USA/USSR/Iran having nuclear war. An image in my original book (author's test sketch) showed what appeared to be an asteroid approaching Earth (actually it was supposed to be an Emeraldian in natural form, or Emerald Fireball). The war extended to Libya and Syria.
Events since 1990 (when the book was done) involve my new psychic abilities of Elemental Chronokinesis and Telepathy (the book anticipated these as well). With Elemental ability I influence the weather; Chronokinesis influences future events (Nostradamus), and with Telepathy I can sense other peoples' thoughts or project my ideas into receptive individuals, not 'mind reading.' Weather making is amplified by Global Warming. As I am a high priest of the Egyptian God, Amon-Ra, using his name influences the wind (Amn) and Sun (Ra). I decided to become a priest of this "religion" of Ancient Egypt as a way of studying Egyptology in an Experimental Archaeology framework; to replicate Ancient Culture by thinking like an Ancient Egyptian. I DO NOT Recommend this. Doing this causes permanent mental pattern dissolution (you will think like an AE all the time). Amn-Ra also influences the Economy. The USSR fell shortly after the book was done, in short-term effect of Chronokinesis. I also wrote to the US Government many times to prevent the other events.

Postscript:
Before religious extremists go and call someone "the Antichrist", be certain you are correct because that is considered Hate Speech. Was "Jesus the Christ" ever Anointed with Holy Oils in the New Testament? No? There is no passage saying this. "Anointed with power from God" is not Anointed with Holy Oil; Egyptian Priests were Anointed Priests (though mostly from Aloe Vera, useful as treating Sun burn) because they lived in the Sahara desert region and needed to keep cool. You cannot call someone "Christ" if he is not Anointed. So who am I against? I am an Egyptian Priest, an Anointed Priest. I started training as a Kheri-Heb Priest (Lector Priest) in 1988 when I purchased a copy of the Papyrus of Ani from the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum gift shop. Then I wrote Eye of the Pharaoh (after leaving Moreau Catholic HS after 2 years - for security reasons, not educative). Christians use the term loosely as a part of conversion tactics. I was Baptized and Circumcised as a child; my Father's family [from Madeira Islands] was Catholic; they had ancestors from the Middle East - as proven by a genetic DNA history test I took (National Geographic project) that proved I am from the Fertile Crescent region thousands of years ago.... This includes Ancient Egypt. They also lived in Hawaii during the Plantation era.

Goodreads or .. bad reads?
http://www.salon.com/2013/10/23/how_amazon_and_goodreads_could_lose_their_best_readers/
I was tempted to register on Goodreads today, then I took a look at their Terms of Service, decided not to, and found other websites about how Goodreads is behaving towards comments by readers.
I noticed in their TOS about "never replying to negative reviews or it will permanently affect the reader or reputation of an author." I had some reviews by Internet Trolls last year; they may have been a part of this purported "war" of negative reviews, using self-published authors as bait.
After my reply to the Trolls was written, I noticed people stopped regularly buying my books, despite the fact I have over 7 or so writer names in effect (Horus Michael, Horus Ptahmeses, Nisut Peroaris, Ahmed Merenptah Marcaesar, Ptolemy Caesar, Archangel M7, Mika'ele Kapakai, etc.).
There is nothing wrong with my books; something may be wrong with me, but that is not your concern :P . Goodreads was purchased by Amazon to advertise authors; perhaps they should invest in blogs or unite with Google?

On Covert Messiah...Fact or Fiction?
http://news.yahoo.com/self-professed-bible-scholar-makes-explosive-allegation-jesus-133026476.html
http://uk.prweb.com/releases/2013/10/prweb11201273.htm
http://www.covertmessiah.com
The authors of this project present a Roman based concept of what became Christianity. Christianity was an Anti-Roman Movement during the Empire, so why would the Romans invent it? When Constantine the Great became Emperor, the Movement was already a threat to Roman Society (like Al Qaeda is for USA). So he made it the official religion of Rome to appease the Movement's influence.
There are parallels of other cultures to be found in Christianity. In Egypt we have most of them. The hieroglyph for purity in Egypt was 'a bucket of water on top of a foot'; Jesus often washed people's feet with water, as did his mother Mary when "She washed his feet with her tears, and dried them with her hair.." Baptism was purification by water, and the first initiation rite of Christianity; the first ritual in an Egyptian temple was purification in the Sacred Lake. On Palm Sunday we use palm branches in ritual; palm branches cleared the floor of sand in Egyptian temples, to remove footprints. The Communion ritual of making bread and wine into divine food and drink is the Eye of Horus in the Opening of the Mouth ritual, performed at grave sites. Jesus riding a donkey represents Horus conquering Set by dominating him (riding him). The Heavenly Gates refer to the Book of Gates in Egyptian religions, and the Lake of Fire can be found in the Book of the Dead (Abyss or punishment that follows Judgement of the Heart). God as Judge of the Dead is a reference to Osiris. The Father, Son, holy ghost = From Rome: the Father (Julius Caesar), the Son (Ptolemy Caesar), and the holy ghost (Divine Caesar's ghost that appeared after his death; Julius Caesar reincarnated into his son, Ptolemy Caesar); the Star of Christ's birth = Caesar's comet that appeared when he was killed in the Senate.

Recycling the USA Deficit
Debt-based Currency
or
"Recycling Dollars"
Copyright 2013 Michael J. Costa, All rights reserved.
When you buy (trade) a Debt-note, you are buying someone's debt, thus paying for it with your hard currency. This is similar to a Recycling Company buying trash from poor nations to Recycle it into useful items.
Perhaps the USA Federal Government can trade Debt-notes to clean up its $17 Trillion of Debt before there is any chance of, or to prevent "economic collapse" or a "weakened Dollar?"

I am not a billionaire
Some people out there assume I am a best-selling author and told others not to buy my books because they feel I am somehow a "Multi-Billionaire." Why? Why would people knowingly invent a falsehood about me? The most I have made so far on my books slightly exceeds $100 USD (in 2012) in royalties. Maybe they are confused on the word "royalty" and believe I am a "King", and since Kings are Billionaires why not confuse this further with my Micronation and tell everyone this? Royalties are proceeds one generates from selling books or music, etc. It is not a caste system or inherited title.
If you want to say I am a "billionaire" then go buy my books in Bulk to all your millions of friends out there. Otherwise STOP LYING. Thank you,
MC 2013.
I am not a billionaire on Earth.... Maybe I am in the Otherworld?

Can Authors really Trust Word of Mouth?
Can Authors really Trust Word of Mouth for Advertising their work?
Copyright 2013 M7C.
You would probably think people would remember the important aspects of your book. Talk about the positive areas and not dwell on innuendo, make rumors about what they believe, or disrespect the author on the part of the characters in the story.
My characters in my books are NOT the author, unless specified. The only true-stories I have written are either personal biographies, science type books (Archaeology), or personal family heritage.
Word of Mouth is supposed to sell products not invent lies about people.
Malicious rumors ruin lives. They also ruin countries and their reputations, as well as stock markets.
So no, we cannot trust word of mouth. We can trust people know of something if we hear them gossip. (There is a place in the Abyss for people who do that).

The Dangers of improper Copyrights on books
The Dangers of Improper Copyrights on Books:
Copyright 2013 M7C., All rights reserved.
If you place a Copyright on a book and do not register it, you risk theft of its contents when offering it for review to strangers. I had this happen to me once. I offered my First Book (Eye of the Pharaoh, c.1990) to a Psychology Counselor at my University (CSU-EB), for review. She returned it but did not tell me she had secretly photocopied it. This was in 1991. Rumor has it that book became a best-seller, though the author (me) never was paid for it. If you are constantly being ripped off by people who can sell your book better than you, then I recommend registration in the LOC. Otherwise, change your marketing strategy.
