    My journey as an author has been one of discovery, where each book seemed to uncover itself as I progressed. It began with Death and Back, born from my own near-death experience. That profound moment changed everything for me—it opened my eyes to the mysteries beyond the physical realm. I wanted to share not only the comfort and reassurance I found but also the deeper understanding I gained about the soul’s journey and life after death. It wasn’t just my story—it became a way to explore existence and offer insight to others navigating life’s most profound transitions.As I delved deeper, the ideas from Death and Back naturally led me to write Spirituality Not Religion. I became fascinated by the intersection of science and spirituality, particularly through the study of biophotons and the enduring symbols of human-formed light found in ancient art. This book was about connecting the dots—between relics like the Shroud of Turin, biblical texts, and our ancient past. It was a journey to understand how spirituality, far from being fragile, has persisted and grown stronger through adversity. I wanted readers to see how our eternal spirit resonates across time, uniting science and faith in a tapestry of wonder.From there, I found myself drawn to Christianity and Reincarnation, where I explored the early Church’s recognition of reincarnation and how it was later suppressed. This book was deeply personal to me—an opportunity to examine how history, theology, and politics shaped beliefs and to shine a light on the spiritual truths that have endured despite efforts to erase them. It was my way of inviting readers to rethink what they thought they knew about faith, sparking meaningful conversations about the lost teachings of Christianity.Finally, Family Found: The DNA Journey brought me back to my own story. As an adoptee, genealogy and DNA testing were my tools to uncover truths about identity and family. This book tied everything together for me—truth, discovery, resilience, and connection. It mirrored the themes I had explored in my other works, but in the deeply personal realm of belonging and the search for self.Each book has been a step along this incredible journey, fueled by my curiosity and a desire to share what I’ve learned. I never set out to write these books with a master plan—they revealed themselves to me as I followed the threads of inspiration and discovery. My hope is that through these books, I can offer insight, spark dialogue, and provide a sense of connection to those who, like me, are seeking answers to life’s most profound questions.

      Family Legend

      According to family legend the earliest historical trace of the Holmes family in England was at a time when a person went by one name, which was usually derived from his occupation. The earliest known Holmes ancestor was likely given a patent by an English King to drain and possess marshes or swampy lands. In the speech of the Anglo-Saxon language this type of land was referred to as a Holm. This is how the family name likely came to be.

      According to family legend three Holmes brothers left England and came to the New World during the time the colonies were young. One settled on Manhattan, one in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, the third in the Connecticut Colony. The Connecticut Holmes brother was the ancestor of Olive Lacy Holmes to whom this book is dedicated.

      In searching for the names of the three Holmes brothers who left England, nothing conclusive has been found to date. However, in the General Assembly held at Hartford, in the Colony of Connecticut, on October 14th of 1669 there is mention of two potentials.

      It would appear from the above that these two men had traveled across the Atlantic Ocean as indentured servants. So, to pay for their passage of some 67 days aboard the wooden ship, they contracted as servants for a specified period of time to commence upon their arrival in the colonies. It would also seem that they were indentured to a Mr. Phillip Lewes, who after completion of the legal contract, proposed to the court that the contract was fulfilled and the two should be declared legally freemen.

      It is speculation, but the John and Steven Holmes mentioned above could be two of the three brothers coming from England as spoken of in our family legend.
