Born on Long Island, NY, in 1952, now live in the mountains of far west Texas. Began writing fiction stories at about 8 years old with pen and loose leaf paper, and created the characters in my Prodigal Band Trilogy as a teenager. From the 70s to the 90s I created the scenario which I believe was inspired. While bringing up and home schooling my two children I continued to work on the novels and published "Battle of the Band" in 1996 and "The Prophesied Band" in 1998. Took off the next several years to complete home schooling and also working as an office manager for the local POA. In 2016, I retired, then resumed The Prodigal Band, a FREE PDF book that tells the whole story to its glorious end. Hint: I'm a true believer in Christ and I'm on a mission from God, writing to future believers, not preaching to the choir. God gave me a talent and, like the band in my books, I am using that talent for His glory, not mine (and, like me, the band is on its own journey, only fictional.) I also wrote for my college newspaper and headed up production, was a columnist in a local newspaper in the early 2000s, and wrote for and edited "Log of the Trail," the news letter for the Texas Mountain Trail Writers, and wrote for and edited it's yearly catalog of writings, "Chaos West of the Pecos." OmegaBooks is my self-publishing sole proprietorship company founded in 1995. Other jobs included teaching secondary math, health aide, office worker, assembly line work, and free-lance writing and bookkeeping,much of it while home schooling.

Why I Will Just Keep On Writing No Matter What: A Short Statement That is Part of My Mission to Promote Good and Expose Evil

Having just finished editing Part One of The Murder Rule, I am wondering about the course of action I should be heading toward after I finish editing the entire novel—just turn it into a FREE PDF? Just post it by chapters on this site? Post it on Kindle? And then what?

Further, while book sales are fine, I’m not really concerned about book sales, and, having reached well over one thousand downloads of the FREE PDF The Prodigal Band, I’m not really concerned about downloads either. Now, visits to this site have been down a bit lately, so I am wondering if some sort of censorship algorithm (or bots) are in play here, and the down-visits started right about the time I posted that post regarding ChatGPT, basically mocking the notion that some bot or even person would use ChatGPT to “re-write” my novels, which, BTW, are copyrighted and registered with the Library of Congress. Coincidence? After all, the so-called (Ephesians 6:12) “rulers of this world” and “wickedness in high places” don’t like the fact that Christ is my Lord and Savior and these evil forces do not want me to get this word out with the message that acceptance of this is by free choice and I would never force anyone to do this acceptance. But too bad. The forces of evil, spiritual or otherwise, are not stopping me.

And, having said that the forces of evil are not stopping me… One reason I am writing The Murder Rule is because I believe that the minions of the forces of evil—the evil governments and the evil leaders of them, oligarchies run by evil people who want to control you (which is why they crave money—control), leaders of evil ideologies (and I’m not just referring to ‘wokesters’ here…remember, the evil plays both sides using the “both sides of the same coin” control mechanism) —anyway, these evil leaders want to reduce the world’s populations as well as “transhumanize” us, as well as use the notion of transgender to confuse us, especially young people who may regret later their gender-changing “therapies,” as well as driving fear into our hearts and minds. And what better way to try to convince “the masses” that killing off millions of people is a ‘good idea’ than by murdering those opposed to their evil agenda or those who won’t toe their line or those who speak truth and spiritual goodness? (Example: think Tucker Carlson’s ‘dismissal’ from Fox News here, then ramp it up a few notches!) Thus, the whacked (or ‘dismissed’) truth-tellers cannot blog or video or report this evil to help the masses understand the truth so that the masses can resist the evil agenda and overcome the fear instilled in them.

But they have not “whacked” me yet, so I will continue to expose them, using fiction. After all, if George Orwell and Aldous Huxley and Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Kurt Vonnegut (“Harrison Bergeron” author) and others can do it…

When Bad Events Lead to Good Outcomes: Snippets from The Prodigal Band Trilogy and The Murder Rule, Part Three

Sorry about the lack of a ‘Happy Resurrection Day’ (aka Easter) post, or Passover, or Ramadan, or whatever other religious holidays are happening these days, but various events took place I had to deal with, vehicle or other issues, and there are other issues forthcoming. Which is why now is the time to post the next ‘When Bad Events Lead to Good Outcomes’ snippet post—and what with all the bad events going on in this world these days (inflation, various divide and rule agendas involving race, gender, politics, economics, the ‘pandemic treaty’ and digital currencies and whatnot the powers-that-shouldn’t-be are trying to force on the rest of us), good outcomes are what we need, and not just from the realm of spirituality.

Believe it or not, but physical reality can bring about good outcomes even when truly evil events occur, because just as God controls the spiritual realm, He also controls the physical world. And years ago, I heard a story from a friend that shocked the heck out of me, thinking such an event could never happen because—it just seemed impossible! I heard part of this story at a snack party after Christmas caroling about a week before Christmas in the early 2000s, led by a pastor of the local non-denominational church I had just joined a year or so ago.

I and some others were sitting at a dinner table near where snacks were served at another table in the home of one of the carolers, eating the snacks. This friend and a couple of others were discussing something I wasn’t really paying any attention to, and then this friend, who was clearly Asian, said this:

Imagine This: Would I Let ChatGPT Write Another Spin-Off Novel? Hmmmmmmm…..

Instead of writing another Snippet-to-Spin-Off post about bad events leading to desired outcomes, this thought just popped into my mind after reading posts about writers or publishers re-working novels or non-fiction using the Artificial Intelligence AI app known as “ChatGPT” (regardless of version…I heard ChatGPT 4.0 was the latest) to rewrite the novels. If indeed this kind of activity is actually true. One thing I’ve come to realize in some online posts, is that some of it is just click-bait and some of it is only partially true. I know for a fact that folks use ChatGPT to create research or college term papers (but not myself…I don’t need AI if you know what I mean! I’m too “old school,” right?) Why pay someone who can actually write and spell correctly and do proper research to write your term paper when you can just download an app and get the app to do it? (Note: a local college student actually paid me to write a term paper back in the late 90s about animal husbandry…which I know little about, but the data online helped me out a bit…) And while this could be construed as “cheating,” it makes sense to some extent—if you can trust AI, that is. But there has been some criticism of ChatGPT, such as ‘it was created by leftist wokesters’ or ‘it isn’t equity-oriented enough’ or ‘it just writes what some tech oligarch tells it to’ or whatever, because if it’s just Big Tech then it’s nonsense, right? I know, I know…it’ll create the actual “Terminator”! Imagine…Arnold Schwarzenegger inventing ChatGPT! Or using it somehow…or maybe Sarah Conner… Bwahahahahahah! (Note: I’m joking, okay?)

But suppose I actually imagined downloading ChatGPT in order for it to actually write another Prodigal Band Trilogy spin-off novel (as is The Murder Rule I am in the process of completing, hopefully by this summer). First of all, could ChatGPT actually write a spin-off unless it actually read any of the trilogy books? Hmmm. Can this app read books by itself? Well, I wonder if it could come to this website and read all the snippet posts; then, maybe, it could accomplish that task. But ChatGPT still might have a problem considering all the spiritual aspects of this trilogy, whether good or evil—can AI actually recognize these spiritual aspects? Does ChatGPT actually think God, or Christ, or the Holy Spirit, or Satan/Corion/Lucifer, or demons, or spirit beings such as Morwenna/witch of the Hovels…does ChatGPT actually think (if it does actually “think”!) these entities actually exist? Or, since The Prodigal Band Trilogy is fiction, would ChatGPT think these entities are just fiction? (Considering many humans think these entities are actually fiction….Hmmmm….)

But here is what came into my head within the past 24 hours, roughly, starting with the fictional notion of ChatGPT writing me a message on MS Word all of a sudden. Remember—this is just a fictional event I imagined.

When Bad Events Lead to Good Outcomes: Snippets from The Prodigal Band Trilogy and The Murder Rule, Part Two

I said in the previous post that my next post in this new snippet series would be in mid-March, so, here it is, mid-March, after a ‘spring break’ camping trip with family. While during most of the trip I did hiking through forest-river areas, I did consider what could make up the second post—which is similar to the first post about an evil man who repents of his evil and accepts Christ as Lord and Savior in his death bed. Yet in this post, the ‘accepter’ so-to-speak is minutes or even seconds away from death by murder, and this event takes place within Part One of The Murder Rule. And did this victim, Denny Spradlin, a rock star and friendly rival with members of the prodigal band Sound Unltd, actually repent and accept Christ in such a short time before death took him, or is that how his band mate, Blake Fenmore, interpreted a statement the victim left in a metal strong box? Note: Both Denny and Blake are featured in Battle of the Band.

The snippet below (© copyright 2023 by Deborah Lagarde), from Chapter One of The Murder Rule (Part One), contains an email letter from Blake to ‘CalEdit’ of the alternative pop culture magazine, X-Zine, sent in 2005, asking X-Zine to investigate what Blake sees as the murder of his Wolfin band mate and best friend, Denny, in early 1996; Blake had originally told the media it was a suicide or drug overdose, but did so out of fear that if he revealed it was murder, he too would be ‘murder-ruled.’

When Bad Events Lead to Good Outcomes: Snippets from The Prodigal Band Trilogy and The Murder Rule, Part One

There are several instances of evil or nefarious or just plain bad scenarios and events within both The Prodigal Band Trilogy and the (for now) three parts that will make up the new novel I hope to complete in a few months called The Murder Rule that lead to good outcomes.

Consider that the main idea within the Gospel of Luke Chapter 15 Parable of the Prodigal Son is that the son, who leaves his father and in a foreign land partakes in ‘riotous living’ and then suffers the consequences, ultimately realizing he made a huge mistake, begins to turn his life right-side-out and then returns to his father, who celebrates his return and repentance bringing about a good outcome. Because sometimes that is what it takes—an evil or bad event or series of events—to get one to realize that there is a better way forward, physically and spiritually. And this wake-up call can occur even on one’s so-called ‘death bed.’

To begin this new series of snippets from the trilogy and The Murder Rule I will only post one rather long snippet, but others are in the works. The next snippet post in this series will be posted in mid-March.

Real World Evil Must Be Exposed, and Fiction is a Good Way to Expose It

I realize I haven’t posted in three weeks while I have been working on completing The Murder Rule, Part Three, and hopefully, this part will complete the novel. But in all three parts, I expose the evil in this world, and feel I must with Divine guidance.

Part One concerns the evil within the music (and also the entire entertainment) industry, from rock to rap and hip hop, ending in the mid-2000s. Part Two concerns the evil within cults that are also connected to the music industry, and how a fan/roadie of the prodigal band got ensnared in them, both New Age and so-called ‘Christian.’ Part Three concerns the evil at ‘the top,’ the rulers of this world, spiritual and physical. In all three cases, the main ‘good guy’ characters—a rock star, a fan-roadie, and a rock band manager descended from aristocracy—are either murdered or threatened with murder. And others affiliated with these characters are also either murdered or threatened with murder. Why murder? Because they refuse to ‘toe the line’ of the evil forces, that’s why.

As to murdered rock stars, this post explains it, and folks like Chester Bennington of Linkin Park and Chris Cornell of Soundgarden were murdered for a reason. As to members of religious cults being murdered just because, I’m sure you’ve heard of a guy named Jim Jones or Charles Manson, both of whom considered themselves as ‘gods’ so-to-speak (plus Manson was also tied to Scientology and the Process Church). And I’m sure you’ve heard or read about various national or world leaders being whacked because in one way or another they would not ‘toe the line’—JFK (who tried to get the US out of the Federal Reserve dollar system with ‘United States Notes’), MLK (who proclaimed the truth that content of character outweighs skin color…now try convince BLM of that these days, or the rest of the ‘woke’ crowd!), a couple of African leaders (who refused the ‘covid vaccines’ for their people), Gandhi (for removing India from British rule, and other reasons relating to the separation of Pakistan from India), the final Czar of Russia (as well as his family, for opposing Bolshevik rule), Yitzak Rabin (Israeli Prime Minister who may have tried to end hostilities with Yassir Arafat’s PLO but the true rulers of Israel wouldn’t put up with that ‘nonsense,’ and, IMHO, Israel’s been cursed ever since, and their new govt. of far-right and religious supremacists wanting a ‘final solution’ to the Palestinian problem…well, millions of Israelis are protesting their own government! And wasn’t good ol’ Benny the Yahoo indicted for criminal activity? Hmmmm….) I’d be here all day trying to name all the world and national leaders either murdered or threatened with murder for not toeing (or is it towing?) the ’new world order’ agenda, past and present.

And, while I am a true believer in Christ and am ‘in the world, but not of the world’ spiritually, I am still here physically, and part of my ‘mission of God’ is to expose the evil in this world, whether it is in the music industry or in all industries! Big Tech. Big Pharma. Big Banking. The whole wokester narrative…. Because spiritually and physically, Satan must be defeated!

Besides, some of the greatest fiction novelists in history, from Alexander Solzhenitzyn to George Orwell to Aldous Huxley to the author of Hunger Games and more have exposed political and other forms of evil that exist today and always. So why shouldn’t I?

Hopefully, the next The Murder Rule snippet post will be in early March. Cheers!

Snippets-to-Spin-Offs: The Murder Rule (Part Thirteen, Continued)—Based on an Actual Evil Event Taking Place These Days Thanks to the Usual Suspects…Or Serpent?

This is a continuation of a snippet post (copyright © 2023 Deborah Lagarde) from The Murder Rule, Part Three which, as I stated in the previous post here, would be posted this week. Last week’s post concerned the creation of not only an organism that would bring about a ‘plague’ in the near future, but its ‘antidote’ as well. The purpose was to kill off as many people as the creators of this plague, the evil character Foxx and his henchman, Dr. Dorch, desired—because they hated humanity, especially the non-elite folks called ‘useless,’ and because it would serve sacrificial purposes to their ‘god,’ Corion. Foxx was also head of a one-world-government-type organization of various globalist elites called the World Forum Summit. Does this organization title sound familiar? But one of the experimental team members, Masul, is the son of the Prime Minister of the fictitious Central Asian nation of Adabustan, and both he and his father, named Mulabu, are secretly opposed to this evil plot.

In the following snippet, Mulabu, a member of the World Forum Summit (since he is a national leader), attends a secret Summit meeting in London regarding this ‘plague-antidote’ agenda. After all, it was he, as Adabustan leader, who allowed the experiment to be run in a bio-lab within his country, so he was invited to the secret meeting, which takes place in 2017. Mulabu’s son Masul was also in London and they would later meet at a London restaurant. The snippet is below:

Snippets-to-Spin-Offs: The Murder Rule (Part Thirteen)—Based on an Actual Evil Event Taking Place These Days Thanks to the Usual Suspects…Or Serpent?

When trying to complete a fiction novel to bring about a climax in the final chapter that is worthy of writing and reading, and when wanting to be inspired by an Almighty Spirit to aid in the cause of that Spirit, one sometimes comes across nearly by accident an interesting concept that can be incorporated into the novel plot, which, with The Murder Rule, involves exposing the Evil that seemingly ‘rules’ this world—think Ephesians 6:12 here, those ‘principalities and powers’ and ‘wickedness in high places.’

In this snippet below, the novel’s ‘Bad Guy,’ nicknamed Foxx, is leading the charge to bring about death and destruction of the world he believes he is a ruler of at the behest of that evil satanic figure I call Corion, and he is using a scenario that is being used by the non-fictional ‘rulers’ of Earth today—or so they think anyway: the evil elites such as the so-called ‘Illuminati,’ the World Economic Forum (the Davos crowd that wants us so-called useless eaters to eat bugs and ‘own nothing’ and ‘be happy’), the World Health Organization (that wants everyone ‘vaxxed’ for a flu-like virus that has a 95 percent survival rate even for the elderly, wearing masks so we can breath in our own CO2, socially distanced so we can no longer hug and bond and love one another as we all get addicted to social media which, with all the negativity in comments and what with the wokesters running the show at the behest of evil, etc.), and government leaders owned by these evil forces, to one degree or another.

And why is the notion of ‘serpent’ even mentioned in the post title? Because about a week ago I came across an article that suggests (supposedly, ‘proves,’ but I need more than one set of ‘proofs’ if you know what I mean!) that the Covid ‘vaccines’ contain…drum roll please…snake venom! From two of the most deadly snakes on Earth—King Cobras and Kraits, no less! Kraits are found in India as well as China, and, according to a VHS video I saw over 25 years ago, a bite by a krait snake can kill within half-an-hour unless the anti-venom is injected. And cobras can be just as deadly. Here is the link to the post which contains a video. The doctor making the video claims that since Satan wants all human DNA to be remastered to remove the God-given DNA while inserting ‘satanic’ DNA, then snake (or as the Bible says, serpent) venom has to be inserted into the DNA by whatever spike protein is made by the ‘vaxx.’ Again, this is the only ‘proof’ that snake venom is part of the ‘vaxx,’ and no one else has verified it, so I really can’t say it is true. Yet, it does make for a very interesting incorporation into the plot of the novel.

Aiding in this ‘serpentine’ scenario is Foxx’s medical buddy, Dr. Dorch, who Foxx has put in charge of creating the ‘plague’ as well as the ‘fix’ for the plague, the ‘vaccine.’ Dorch has a medical team of biologists helping him accomplish this evil deed, making this bio-weapon. Part of this team is a young man just out of medical school who thinks that the plot is part of an evil agenda—and his father is a leader of a fictitious Central Asian nation, named Adabustan.

Note: this leader of Adabustan is mentioned in The Prophesied Band, Chapters 6 and 7, as having been cured of cancer by the fake healer and satan-possessed cult leader, Cole Blessing.

And it is in Adabustan (as with the bio labs in Wuhan, China, where the ‘gain-of-function’ research was done to supposedly create Covid-19) where the ‘plague’ Foxx and Dorch want unleashed onto the world, is created, so they can ‘fix’ it with their snake-venom ‘vaccine’ and make billions in money. The young Adabustani team member is called Masul, and his father, a national leader who, not knowing the nefarious agenda of Foxx, allowed the bio-weapon to be created in his country, is named Mulabu, the Prime Minister of Adabustan. And Masul infiltrated this project precisely to learn the truth of it so as to warn his father.

Happy New Year! And Cheers to the Truth Within the Popular Culture and Music Industries, and Within the Real World, Censored or Not

Happy New Year…a day or two late. And, while events seem to portend fearful days ahead—only if one lets them be fearful days, that is—every fearful event also seems to have its counterweight as more and more folks world-wide come to the conclusion that this ‘fear’ is being pushed for nefarious purposes that are being exposed more and more as lies for evil purposes.

Let me expose some instances of this exposed evil, but in the popular culture realm, including popular music, which takes a main theme in my novels, completed or soon-to-be completed.

Merry Christmas! And Some ‘Prophetic’ Warnings ‘Predicted’ Within The Prodigal Band Trilogy

First off, a Merry Christmas to all readers and followers, and to those who have websites and blogs I follow as well. On top of that, have a blessed New Year.

Christmas of course is the celebration of the birth of Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, regardless of whether one thinks He was born on December 25 or not. Many claim He was born more likely in fall or autumn due to the fact within the Gospels that harvest time was near, and others claim that the date of December 25 was chosen by early religious authorities to appeal to the pagans who worshiped Mithras and other false gods who supposedly were born on December 25. The fact that He was born is good enough for me!

Further, the Biblical Book of Isaiah, Chapter 53, prophesies His birth and purpose, using passages such as—verse 4: Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; verse 5: But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.; verse 7: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter,; verse 12: he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. And other verses. In Isaiah Chapter 7 is this key prophetic verse 14: Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. The Gospel of Matthew Chapter 1 verse 23 verifies this prophecy: Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Speaking of ‘prophecy,’ just as my The Prodigal Band Trilogy is called what it is called because the Gospel of Luke Chapter 15 Parable of the Prodigal Son was a key inspiration for the trilogy, the second novel of the trilogy is called The Prophesied Band for a reason: it contains ‘prophesies’ or, really, predictions, about the future, including some ‘end-times’-like scenarios—when the novel was published in 1998.

Here are some examples, or should I say, snippets indicating predictions which seem to be happening in these days, all from The Prophesied Band.
