    About this ebook

    Invaders of Venustas is an action-packed, thought-provoking short story. It tells of a time when Lemuria, a lost continent in the Pacific, was powerful. Its Central City was the hub of the empire that the tall white beings, a spiritual group from another universe, had created and inhabited with the many extraterrestrial transplants they brought to Earth.

    Bashur, a tall white being and teacher/mentor for the city’s human ambassadors, directs Cassandra and Yuro in a new assignment in the satellite city of Venustas. This story stands on its own, telling of a time before Lemuria sank into the ocean, complementing the first book of the Beneath and Beyond trilogy, The Hidden City, which begins with Tashi’s mother telling him the myths and legends of how her ancient ancestors came from a sinking Lemuria to where they now live in Tibet.

    She tells the legends of the tall white beings who guided and taught during that primeval time. As Bashur guides Tashi in the present, these legends repeat themselves, revealing the timeless nature of the wisdom valuable to the preservation and happiness of the human people.

    Enjoy this tale of a time in the earth’s early history when separatism and violence were not acceptable, a time when love was considered more important than technology. Through the continuous telling of these ancient stories, the loving spirit of Lemuria is kept alive!

    Claudette Cleveland

    My passion in life is creating. Whether it’s writing or painting, I become totally absorbed in my current project. For instance, when writing, I receive a movie in my head filled with special effects including surround sound. Writing then becomes a process where I transcribe my mental movie into words. The story is all quite real for me because I put myself right into the situations that I feel I’m actually experiencing. My writing goal is to pull you in with me so that you too are hearing, smelling, feeling, tasting and seeing all that is happening as we develop a personal relationship with the characters. My traveling experiences help me to bring an authenticity to the story’s setting and to share the anecdotes of wonderful people I’ve met. From the feedback I have gotten from you, the readers, I think I am succeeding for many have brought Althea and Tashi from the Beneath and Beyond Trilogy off the page and into your lives. You’ve also found a part of yourselves, an alter-ego if you will, in the character Sara of the Sara Connolly Mystery Series. I really appreciate everyone sharing their insights and feelings with myself and others, making this chapter in my life very rewarding. The covers of my books are similarly inspired ... by visions. Having a degree in art, designing the covers gives me an opportunity to bring my visions to life in another form.
