Movie/Series development is underway!¿¿'better lands - The Discoveries' is the first in a five-book series about a tempestuous 45-day foot journey from Burlington, Vermont to Kentucky during a pandemic that had wiped out over two-thirds of the earth's breathing population. Technology was at best, sporadic, while buildings and vehicles were subject to mandated burn orders as survivors tried to control the virus. 'The Discoveries' will take the reader, along with the travelers, from Burlington, Vermont through Fort Drum, New York, the first inside shelter stop along the way.In the Spring of 2023 a new world was evolving from the chaos the three-year pandemic had already bestowed upon it. After losing her parents, home and privileged life, 15-year-old Rosa Wells continued to live in the Chuso home until she felt her life was threatened. She had no choice but to leave and head out into a world she had been tightly sheltered from, only to be taken back by the impact and devastation the virus had caused. She finds herself a refugee in a tent community along the shores of Lake Champlain in Burlington Vermont, where life takes a drastic turn for her. During that time, four de-patched motorcycle club members migrate to the area from Montreal, Canada and cause chaos among the survivors. They harass them and steal their supplies as well as attack the campsites when least expected. Rosa, single handedly, challenges them when they try to assault some of the community survivors. She soon becomes a respected leader among them for doing so.A third wave of the virus was headed toward the U.S.. Rosa decided to spend some time in the local library, checking out an area in Kentucky that was rumored to be virus free. Eventually, most of the tent community members asked to go with her so Rosa began to plan a large migration to the better lands.As cold weather arrives, the survivors move to nearby shelters, inside a few disinfected buildings. During that time Rosa welcomes Darcy and Jean-Pierre, two teens from Stanstead, Canada, to join them. Shortly afterwards, an unexpected street thug also joins the survivors. Rosa's decision and motives are questioned for letting him in, but she quickly gains their confidence back as the thug starts to gain their respect. By the Spring of 2024, four teams of 100 are chosen to make the first 45-day foot journey to the better lands, hoping to get there before the next wave hits. Each team trails a week behind each other and experiences many ruthless encounters along the way. Just a week after leaving Vermont, Rosa's team is the first to arrive at the Fort Drum Army base, the first of the five inside shelters along the journey. There they find an inside sanctuary, away from all the burned rubble that continuously fills the air, making it hard to breath along the way. They befriend Sergeant Fleshman along with Privates Stone and Hansen, who continue to welcome the next three teams. They decide they want to join the migration. Miss Lily, a waitress at the local diner takes interest in the street thug, and later joins the journey. All hell breaks out among one of the teams before they depart the base, leaving them no choice but to separate for the next part of the journey.All the survivors experience trying times within their own teams and with outsiders. Conflicts develop, disloyalties emerge, unexpected romances develop, all while chaos and death patiently wait to strike at any given moment as they trudge toward the better lands.

It was the 80's. The disco era was long over... club life and 'the hunt' had taken on a whole new form, and if you worked at the mall… in this case, as a hairstylist at a top salon, had that special look and way about you, and loved women as much as this guy did, then you were in your element 12 hours a day… P.S. … this is not a teen mall romp ala Fast Times At Ridgemont High; far from it... it's more like 'Shampoo' meets 'Don Jon' meets 'Wolf of Wall Street', and in a twisted way finds you both loving, hating, and in some cases rooting for, the protagonist author who decided to put his bio down on paper almost 4 decades after it all took place, in his biography, King Of The Mall… Definitely for mature readers only…There is a poignant and very well told back story to it all though, throughout the entire book… escaping life from a small Northeastern Pa. coal mining town, and, the possibility of being trapped in a mundane existence there.The author, Wolfe Armand Scarpati, takes us on a journey from early childhood, and, the joys of growing up in an Italian, Roman Catholic household during the 50's, and then well into his young adulthood during the turbulent decade of the 60's.He very aptly schools the reader on what it was like during simpler times, as well as the angst of life after high school, in one of the most historic years of that time… 1969… avoiding the draft, a short unsuccessful stint in college, and almost getting trapped in a series of blue collar labor jobs prior to entering the beauty industry quite by accident, and finally finding himself; beautifully told with family anecdotes, thoughts of times past, and how things were.Along the journey of growing up, his sexual appetite had developed into overdrive, and in finding his new life and career as a hairstylist, he also finds an outlet for that behavior, as well as his career niche… a career where he could not only be somebody, but also have an unlimited variety of women. His affairs are numerous, and are laid out in great detail for the reader.Along the way, he does the stupidest thing that a guy in this position could do… he falls in love (or so he thinks) and gets married, only to find that his overpowering sexual appetite takes precedent, and realizes that the marriage was nothing more than the result of a time of weakness.With his career in full bloom, and having now migrated to the suburbs of Philadelphia, he becomes one of the top hairstylists in the area, in a salon located in a large suburban mall.His extracurricular activities completely take over both his thought process and his life; his friends call him the King Of The Mall… he could have almost any female he wants… some are his clients, and some work in the mall… but he's simply not happy, and emotionally empty.An eventual divorce ensues, and leads him on a somewhat repentant journey into the city that never sleeps, New York, where he hopes to clear his mind and soul while purging his past.During that same time frame, his upwardly mobile career, which had been on a fast track with the mall based chain of salons, ends up going bust due to a corporate buyout. Along the way he is constantly juggling… not just his career, but also failed affairs with women, and most of all, his lack of control as he tries to find balance, peace of mind, and the one woman who could finally keep his sexual appetite both fulfilled, and grounded.A true story wrapped with a bit of fiction to "protect the innocent… and… the not so innocent", King Of The Mall is an extraordinarily candid look at the hairstyling industry and the mall culture of the 80's… but be advised… this guy makes Christian Grey

It took about 6 years of my personal spiritual endeavor to create a perfect illustration of the design in the shift in consciousness. This is also referred to as the Paradigm Shift. Why this book is so powerfully unique is it has been inspired and perpetuated by my direct involvement with the evolution of universal consciousness and Earth's energy. When I came to realize that planet Earth is a very powerful living organism with a consciousness I started to feel a connection to its energy in a very profound way. Because there are so many philosophies, ideologies and opinions about the nature of existence I knew uncovering the truth would be like putting a puzzle together.Over a 6 year period I took the most powerful and important aspects of science, religion and spirituality which exist here within the consciousness of the human condition and formulated the most powerful conclusion that has ever been written.I begin my book with the introduction of this universe and outline through the chapters the circumstances and events which have defined the perception of reality as we know it today. The most important aspects of existentialism are discussed and concluded in my book that pertain to the ultimate question which is, "Why are we here and what does all this mean". Because I have incorporated the most important aspects of science, religion and spirituality my book is very non-controversial because it encapsulates the divine truth of the nature of the primary factions on Earth which have governed the mainstream thought here for a long time.The readers will not only benefit on an educational and inspirational level from my book, it will facilitate the evolution of their consciousness as well. The reason for this is, incorporating the truth about existence, planet Earth and the human race into their consciousness will release the barriers within themselves created by misconceptions here which create fear in the consciousness. The fear is released and a lot more energy from universal consciousness and planet Earth can transfer into the person from the Higgs Field ( which I discuss in my book) and allow a more powerful flow of divinity into the individual. Earth's Miracle Through the Paradigm Shift is not only a book it is a powerful tool for helping consciousness evolve.There has been a lot of speculation about what the apocalypse means for planet Earth. There has also been a lot of fear associated with this term. Apocalypse is Greek and means a revealing of knowledge. This book has done exactly this. Earth is in the powerful preliminary stages of the apocalypse now. A spiritual awakening of consciousness here will start producing very remarkable changes with all the wonderful life here. What this book has done is revealed the truth about this event and elimiated the fear that has affected many with uncertainty about these changes.A very powerful and wonderful change is occuring now everywhere in existence. This book describes the relationship between science, the Holy Trinity, planet Earth, the human race and universal consciousness and how this relationship is going to affect everything here soon. The primary objective for the reader is the combination of spiritual, emotional and intellectual enlightenment to increase the divine flow of energy within the mind, body and spirit. The importance of this focus is delivered in a monumental way for all of the readers to experience and embrace within themselves. "Thy kingdom come thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven" is not only a prediction, it is a promise that will be facilitated by the most powerful love, truth and divine consciousness that is here already.
