I have always loved the mysteries of ancient civilizations, especially the Aztecs and the Mayans.  I remember the opening of the original Battlestar Galactica television show…

"There are those who believe...that life here began out there, far across the Universe...with tribes of humans...who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians...or the Toltecs...or the Mayans...that they may have been the architects of the Great Pyramids...or the lost civilizations of Lemuria...or Atlantis.

Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man...who even now fight to survive--somewhere beyond the heavens!"

That was the first time I had ever heard the name THE TOLTEC and it intrigued me so much that I had to learn more.  I read on my own in the Fourth Grade in Menlo Park School back in New Jersey, a book called Mysteries of Ancient Civilizations.  I was hooked.  I wanted to know more and more what happened to these ancient tribes that ruled giant empires and mastered mathematics, architecture, astronomy, farming and warfare.

This was part of the inspiration behind this book.

PLEASE if you have any questions... comment or message me!

If you like what you read let me know!!!

THE TOLTEC by Tom Cavanaugh is told through the eyes of a living twenty-two year old, Aztec Princess in the twenty-first century.  The story is about a hidden, secret society of the Aztec Royal court in the Malibu Hills outside of Los Angeles and what happens to them when their ancient, alien, forefathers return from the edge of the galaxy and want to know why they no longer rule the earth and live in hiding?
