Protected: Secret first chapter of APOCALYPSE MOON
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

In The Joshua Files, Josh and his friends in the ‘invisible city’ find a lost Mayan codex which contains secrets about how to protect the world from an apocalypse in December 2012.
You might be seeing a similar story in the movie 2012, out in November 2009.
And in a forthcoming TV series from the Syfy channel.
Why this fascination with 21 December 2012?
Well, the date is the end-date of the Mayan Long Count Calendar. Some people see this date as a prediction by the ancient Maya of a real event in 2012. Maybe a cataclysm, maybe a renewing of a cycle of human life.
Other people, including MG Harris, think it’s a neat and mysterious calendar date which symbolised something to the Mayans, but not a prediction of a real event. A terrific premise for a story, but not something to lie awake worrying about.
If you’d like to know more about what the Maya wrote about 2012, what other people think might happen in 2012, if you’ve wondered why there’s such interest in December 2012, then check out Mayan Mysteries of 2012 – A Young Person’s Guide - a site written by MG Harris especially for readers of The Joshua Files.
You can also find out some of the REAL facts about the Mayan civilisation, about the Mayan people, Mayan writing, Mayan religion (including the origin of the ‘Bakabs’ - mentioned in The Joshua Files) and other mysteries of the ancient Maya.
It’s all at Mayan Mysteries of 2012 – A Young Person’s Guide.
Over time MG will be adding more content, including educational resources. If you’re a primary school teacher and would like to teach your students something about the ancient Maya, mayan2012kids.com is an ideal starting point.
Sometimes I don’t blog everything interesting that happens to me right away; I save it up for a rainy day. Back in Nov 2009 I was on BBC TV’s Click – a show devoted to all things techie and presented by a fab fellow geek girl, the multi-talented LJ Rich. I made a little video [...]
I’m enjoying the current TV series ‘Pan Am’ – not so much for it’s alleged similarity to ‘Mad Men’ but for its personal nostalgia value. My mother worked as a stewardess during the same period – the late 1960s – first for Aeronaves de Mexico (now AeroMexico) and then for Lufthansa. She’s pictured here modelling, [...]
