Yesterday, Sebastian and I went to the National Archives, the World War II Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial. It was a good trip. His first to see these treasures. I forgot what a remarkably beautiful city Washington D.C. is. When you grow up here, it is in your marrow.

The author will then discuss the themes of prophecy, survival and extinction in the novel, along with allegory, symbolism, and structure of THE ASCENDANCY. Then, there will be a question and answer period followed the signing of books.
Jerry Gross, Editor
About the novel THE ASCENDANCY, editor Jerry Gross, former VP and Executive Editor at Warner Books of Time–Warner-AOL writes: “The Ascendancy is an extraordinary, completely original work of fantasy unlike any other I have ever read in theme and content. John Weiskopf’s “voice” rings out loud and clear in this modern retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk for our post 9/11 Age. It will be a book talked about and read for generations to come. And deservedly so. Last but not least, it is an enchanting read.”

“The Ascendancy” is a 21st Century fantasy-adventure about the volatile world in which we live today. Dr. Thomas Allen Nelson says, “An inspiring and compassionate twenty-first century epic adventure, part Paradise Lost and part Wizard of Oz… An evolutionary and cultural vision that blends the grim equations of survival and extinction with the regenerative powers [...]
Last night, Judy and I saw an incredible one hour show on Nova called “Ghosts of Machu Picchu.” If you get an opportunity to see it, do so. It is fascinating about the Incas who lived over 500 years ago and had the most remarkable skill of farming, architecture & design, ritual, military weaponry, knowledge [...]
Dr. John E. Mack is one-of-kind genius. The loss of his life when he was hit by a Czech drunk driver in London was our loss. John E. Mack was a Harvard professor of psychiatry, who wrote and won the Pulitzer Prize for A PRINCE OF OUR DISORDER, a biography of T.E. Lawrence, or Lawrence [...]
