The Jaguar Legacy

The Jaguar Legacy, by Maureen Fisher

Ancient Danger Stalks the Jungle on Velvet Paws…

What if she had lived before? What if she had created a legacy of betrayal that spanned several millennia? What if passion could heal her soul and love could release her from bondage?

THE JAGUAR LEGACY is a vivid story of romance and humor, peril and suspense, betrayal and trust, healing and absolution.

Despite baffling panic attacks that devastated her career, journalist Charley Underhill barges in on a Mexican archaeological dig, bent on sniffing out a juicy exposé that will restore her reputation and earn enough money for her mother’s life-saving treatment. Haunted by past betrayals, Dr. Alistair Kincaid isn’t about to let a smart-mouthed reporter leak word of his latest discovery, an ancient Olmec city, to the press. A battle of wills and wits ensues. Strands from a past life intertwine with the present, drawing the couple into a vortex of chilling evil. Torn between redeeming her soul and betraying the man she loves, Charley faces impossible choices.

About the Author

The skirl of bagpipes still brings a tear to Maureen’s eye. An only child torn from her beloved Scotland by well-meaning parents at age seven, she sailed to Canada where she immersed herself in the imaginary world of books for ten years, surfacing only to eat and attend school. Unfurling her wings at the University of Toronto, she studied Fine Art between social engagements. Shortly after graduation, her first marriage precipitated a move to Ottawa where she succeeded in convincing the federal government to hire a Fine Arts specialist as a computer programmer. After a rocky start in the world of bits and bytes, she discovered bridge, downhill skiing, and women’s canoe trips.

Three years later, Maureen graduated again, this time to full-time homemaker and mom, raising two wonderful sons, orchestrating countless dinner parties, playing bridge, and reading romance novels. Eight years later, she plunged back into the business world to start a thriving management consulting business in partnership with her second husband. This marriage survived because she and her husband pledged never to work on the same project again. Ever.

After a century in the consulting world, Maureen grew weary of wearing snappy power suits, squeezing into panty hose, and fighting rush hour traffic. She still didn’t know what she wanted to be when she grew up, but was certain it wasn’t a consultant. An avid fan of romantic suspense, she announced to her husband, “I’m going to write a book.” After a five-day course, she quit her day job, rolled up her sleeves, and started to write. Fifteen rejections, six tons of chocolate, and ninety-five re-writes later, Lachesis Publishing acquired her prizewinning paranormal romantic suspense and first book, The Jaguar Legacy.

Between trips, Maureen and her husband live in Ottawa where she volunteers for an addiction family program, plays bridge, and slaves several hours a day over her computer to improve her writing skills.

Researchers Debunk Reincarnation as Implausible

Reincarnation
According to a new study, people who believe that they have lived past lives are more prone to what is called “source monitoring errors.” This means that they have difficulty recognizing where a memory came from.

Researchers recruited people who had come to believe that they had experienced a past-life regression through hypnosis, as well as those who did not believe in reincarnation. They were put through a test where they had to read 40 non-famous names aloud. After a two-hour wait, they were to identify famous names out of the list they were given, plus a list of famous names and another list of non-famous names that they hadn’t seen.

Believers were twice as likely as their counterparts to misidentify the non-famous names they had seen on the first list as famous. Lead researcher, Maarten Peters of Maastricht University in The Netherlands thinks that people who are prone to making source monitoring errors can’t distinguish between things that have really happened and things that have been suggested to them. When put under hypnosis and repeatedly asked to talk about the potential idea of a past life, the risk of that idea turning into a false memory is greatly increased.

Past life memories are not the only memories being studied. Richard McNally of Harvard University conducted a similar study on alien abductees and found that they are also prone to commit source monitoring errors. McNally says that these errors occur with people who are more creative than the average person.

James Leininger: A Study in Reincarnation

James Leininger is an 8 year-old boy who has been experiencing recurring nightmares of being shot down by a Japanese plane for the past 5 1/2 years. The nightmares began began shortly after his father took him to visit a Dallas flight museum when he was 18 months old.

“They were terrible, terrible,” Andrea Leininger told the Tribune-Review News Service in 2004. “He would scream, ‘airplane crash, on fire, little man can’t get out!’ He’d be kicking, with his hands pointing up at the ceiling.”

James’s parents believe that their son is a reincarnation of Lt. James McCready Huston, a World War II fighter pilot from Uniontown who was killed near Iwo Jima more than 50 years ago. The Leiningers appeared on the Montel Williams Show in 2004 and recently on Good Morning America.
