Sojourn in the Land of the Sun (Revised)

About the Book

I knew that arming the general populace and their elected leadership with knowledge, verifiable knowledge, would change the game in New Mexico forever.
Now here I was in the present gazing at Teresa’s rosary. Then abashedly upon the beauty of her body. She was real and it hadn’t been a ghost chase. I was having some difficulty in processing the ramifications of finding her by the supernatural means I had used. In fact, I was attempting an inner self-assessment of my spiritual status. I had become a sorcerer to find my lover. Would she be? It was unlikely that she would choose to love a person like myself.
