Alien invasions, alternate realities, the Battle of Britain and a futuristic Los Angeles are just some of the subjects Scholes’ wicked imagination has tackled, with spellbinding twists. 

In “The Day Nobody Died,” Scholes poses the question -- what if no one ever died for one day? What would our world and culture be like if overpopulation were taken to the nth degree? 

“Grey Power” is a chilling tale of senior adults having a disquieting power in Los Angeles.  

Unless you’re very wealthy or very old, life is dreadfully unpleasant in “Life Wasn’t Meant to Be Easy.” 

In “The Battle for London, the troubled youth of today are innocent and benevolent babes compared to Scholes’ characters -- feral youth challenging authority in a decaying futuristic city. 

Scholes expertly weaves tales of suspense, terror and unexplored “what if’s.”  His characters come vividly to life and you’ll wonder if the alternate world you’re in while reading may be lurking at the fringes of reality.  Travel from the Mediterranean to black holes across the Universe -- this one is an impossible to put down read.

About the Author

WHY ARE YOU PROTECTING THE WOLF AT THE DOOR?

Dear friend and fellow American,

You know, I read all the complaints and concerns and worries and reactions you have to Obama's aggressive overtake of our government, our economy and major capitalist systems, his antagonistic attitude toward our military, and his attack on Americans who dare to say the truth, carry guns, and believe in God.

I read your furiously typed posts railing about the travesty he visits on our Constitution, our rights.

I read the work you are doing to keep your readers abreast about the Jihad, and its cancerous growth that is spreading ever closer to our homes; and Congress' latest violation of our Constitutional principles.

You write in horrified tones about the growing list of names on Obama's enemies list, and how the Left destroys Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin, et al when they dare to speak out.

You turn a fine phrase about Obama's attacks and his demolition of the institutions we have relied upon since our founding: our election process, to name a very important one.

The Lord God Obama and the Progressive Left have targeted private individuals by name,denigrated and destroyed them and the rest of their critics; taken over our banks; revealed national security secrets that endanger us and our military; destroyed our auto industry to pay back their union thugs; forced auto industry chieftains to steal dealerships away from decent taxpaying businessmen and entrepreneurs of the wrong political persuasion; defended abortionists; cut our defense budget and ignored soldiers shot to death by a Muslim terrorist.

And yet, many of you -- too many -- are at best, lazy or reluctant -- or at worst, sanctimonious and disdainful toward your fellow Americans who are diligently pursuing the one thing that can stop the takeover of our country and everything that has made it exceptional in a dark world.

You know what it is. You've given it a name -- disdainfully tagged it the 'conspiracy freaks' cause', the 'tin-foil hatters' black helicopter issue'.

And you use the same tactics the Left uses -- derision, sneers, insults, personal attacks -- against those who are desperately seeking the truth about Obama.

Yes, you do. And it makes me wonder how much difference there is, really, between you and the Left?

Why do you protect this man? Why do you put down those who refuse to?

Is your ego, your reputation, your frame of reference so fragile that you dare not risk being "lumped in" with fellow Americans and, OMG, tagged with "a name?" Risk being defined by a cause that you've categorically and without basis, deemed "fringe"?

May I remind you smug "intellectuals" that the valiant Swiftboat Vets were also derided and castigated as "fringe". And yet they saved us from the traitorous John Kerry.

You are using the same tactics the Left and their propagandist handmaiden -- the media -- employed to diminish and destroy the Swifties' efforts to save our country.

Have you forgotten that NO ONE would broadcast "Stolen Honor", the film that documented the testimony of Vietnam POWs who knew and served with Kerry?

Why then are you protecting someone who is even more dangerous and destructive to our nation's survival?

There is a reason why this arrogant puppet is being protected by the media, being shielded from any attempt to learn the truth about who he is and where his real roots are. Aren't you "intellectuals" even the least bit curious to ask why?

A million dollars in legal fees has already been incurred by Obama's legal teams to fend off any and all valid legal challenges to make him prove his legitimacy to hold office.

Why? Answer me that.

You can't. Unless you admit the obvious, the only answer to that question. And because you refuse to, you're an accomplice to the disaster he is wreaking upon our country. That makes you the enemy too.

Here's another one for you to wrap your all-knowing intellect around:

Is it so logic-defying to imagine that he's a foreigner, put in place to deliver our country into the enemy's hands? To be controlled -- or devoured -- by the beasts and savages who hate us and everything we stand for?

You know for certain that he isn't? Really? How do you know that? What can you show me that proves he isn't?

Oh, right. You can't. Because you don't know who he is any more than I do.

His actions say that he walks among them. Fangs bared, an acolyte of those with whom he consorts, he is weakening our country -- deliberately dismantling it -- in order to prepare us for the taking, the final coup de grace.

Those of you who refuse to open your eyes and acknowledge that there is something very odd, very mysterious, and very blood chilling about this man, are deliberately blinding yourself. And that makes you a willing accomplice to his crimes.

Your refusal to put aside your ego, your pride, your puffery, diminishes and hurts our chances to save our country and ourselves from certain Socialist bondage.

If the citizens are content to be sheep, they deserve the chains the Socialists are forging. Stopping Obama and the socialists in congress is vital to our survival as a free republic. There will be no greater cause in our lifetimes. It is not rocket science. If we do nothing, they win. They have chosen to become the enemies of liberty, the fifth column that undermines the Republic.-- Lance Fairchok, American Thinker

On his radio program this morning, Glenn Beck spoke with Matthew Spalding, Director of the B. Kenneth Simon Center for American Studies at the Heritage Foundation.

Spalding warned Glenn's listeners:

Progressives (Obama et al ) don't believe in the Constitution. Obama's is a crazy but consistent worldview -- that Progressives reject moral truth and truly believe that what they're doing is best for the future.

Obama shows a complete rejection of everything America stands for. Progressives reject all things of the past, believe instead in moving forward, and the leader of that thinking is Obama."

Spalding said Progressives believe that what they're doing is the right thing and are moving forward to arrange the world the way they believe it should be. He said they're not necessarily cruel, and will do it "nicely":

"Its not going to be harsh, it'll be regulated. Look at Europe. Their culture is dead, it's not reproducing, their churches are empty. That's where we're going."

He said what Beck's doing - educating America about our founding principles - is crucial to our survival as a nation.

"Because if we don't know what they are, we will have lost our country before we even know it. This battle is afoot - we need a framework of Founding principles vs Progressivism. People must understand that."

***

Now, if you're going into battle to defend something that is precious to you -- your life, your family, your country -- you take with you EVERY advantage you can muster, right?

You have to know that only a fool would go into battle without the best available war armament and advantage.

Would you fight to win? No, really. It's a pivotal question.

Are you willing -- and prepared -- to win back our country from Obama and the Progressive Left?

You say "Of course. What a dumb question, Andrea".

Really?

If that's the case, then why are you deliberately leaving behind the most powerful cannon of all? The greatest advantage you have? The nuclear bomb of nuclear bombs? The weapon that destroys the enemy and ends the war?

Obama's background, his birth certificate, his college records -- all of it.

Game over.

To those of you who say the Birth Certificate Eligibility issue is a waste of time, that it's more important to argue and fight against Obama's policies, I say you're wrong.

THIS is the essential issue. Get him out on this one, and you've won the war. The rest of it is just chaff on a radar screen. Brilliant military strategists like Patton and Sun Tzu understood this principle. Attack at the weak spot. THIS is Obama's weak spot, his Achilles heel.

All that other stuff you write and piss and moan and spool up about, my friends, IS a waste of your time. What would Patton do? What would Sun Tzu do?

What the hell are you waiting for? Our children and grandchildren are depending on us. Their future and freedom depends on what we do. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Or is protecting your precious ego and reputation more important?

***

A door has been slammed on the hunt for confirmation of President Obama's birth in Hawaiian hospital records, with officials at two prominent Honolulu facilities either declining to return WND telephone calls or refusing to comment.

***

Just as the media refused to broadcast "Stolen Honor: wounds that Never Heal", they refuse to post billboards asking the essential question, "Where's the Birth Certificate." Why?

Lamar Outdoor, one of the largest providers of billboard space in America, has become the second major company to reject an advertising campaign raising questions about Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility for office. Lamar joins CBS, the No. 1 outdoor advertising company, in prohibiting its salesmen nationwide from accepting leases of billboards for a campaign that asks the simple question, "Where's the birth certificate?"

"Shrill" conservative commentary is a leftist canard, there is no shriller voice than a socialist scorned. So he tells us not to offend the opposition that is working hard on stealing our children's future and squandering our nation's treasure.-- Fairchok
