I am Mark Stanley, one time guitarmaker turned winemaker and author. I am an artist with quite varied interests, clearly demonstrated in the books I've written. The last book, published in 2024 titled Maria Orsic~Winged Muse is a historical fiction novel about a controversial topic, and an enigmatic individual. Maria Orsic was the very beautiful Austrian psychic who formed the Vril Society after WW1, and began the design and creation of electro-gravitic propulsion systems that led to the German 'flying saucers' produced during WW2. Maria Orsic never joined the Nazi party, and believed in the coming of the Aquarian age—an age of peace. This put her in juxtaposition with the Nazis, but they tolerated her because of both what she produced, and she typified their ideology—a blond, beautiful, talented Aryan. The story begins in 1902, and ends in the future. That places it in the Science Fiction category, even though I studied hard to present accurate historical events, and characters. Available in hardback, paperback, and kindle. In 2023, I published Spirit Arrow, a Native American fiction story that takes place about 400 years ago, mostly in what we know of today as Arkansas. This is a young man's tale of romance, love, friendship, the personal discovery of his latent shamanic potentials, the origins of his ancestors, and his quest for security in a society that could embrace peace, but is all too accustomed to violence. In his journey, he visits the ruins of several mound builder sites, experiences that affect him deeply. Thus, the thirty seven chapter pages are illustrated with my original drawings of artifacts originating from ancient America. The historical notes section is thirteen pages of relevant research I did in preparation for the story. The hardback version was an effort to create a classic--with the illustrations and decorated pages is probably the most gorgeous book I will produce. So far, I consider it my best work. Also available in paperback & kindle-- all illustrated. The Sacred Spring of the Blood Royal was my first fiction book. During WW2, an American paratrooper on a covert mission drops into eastern France and finds mystery, romance, murder, espionage, and becomes involved with the Prieure de Sion—an ancient secret society that has been quietly influencing western culture for centuries. The tale begins in the alpine meadows of the Jura mountains, and leads towards a mystical journey in the labyrinth and secret underground temple complex near Rennes le Chateaux in southwestern France. As a pro-level winemaker, I found the books available to the home winemakers wanting, so I wrote what I feel to be the best red wine-making book yet: Creating World Class Red Wine. Solar Flare Survival was published under my pen name Marc Remillard, and is a reporters take on heliophysics, geophysics, and the potential danger of our Sun to worldwide society. Compost Tea Making was my first book, also published under the pseudonym Marc Remillard--typically my best seller, and is an 8th grade science take on practical soil microbiology, earthworm compost, and more for the gardener and horticulturist.
