Tales Press release

At the opening of this horror novel, we find The Sin Killer, a murderous psychopath who believes himself killing for Christ to be a fine thing. According to his philosophy, if his victims will not give their hearts to Jesus while alive, they will do so when dead. Those who know Pierce’s style need not stretch their imaginations to see what happens next.

Anyway, The Sin Killer visits Hillside Cemetery in the remote parts of Sugarcreek, Ohio, where he intends to gloat over the grave of his last victim. Instead, he is confronted by a man in a priest outfit, who identifies himself only as Traveler.

Traveler seems to be more than something human, for he confronts the Sin Killer and plays a game with him, taunting him as hr takes him from gravestone to gravestone, each of which offers an encounter with the supernatural. The dead rise u to speak in the whispering wind, telling ghostly stories of woe, while the murderous Sin Killer is forced to listen.

The tales are a bizarre mixture of things. A jealous magician confronts a rival to force the secrets of his magic tricks from him and finds out these are not tricks, but real magic. The rival sold his soul to the devil. Other tales deal with a man attempting to raise an army of demons to take over the world, by sacrificing his visiting niece as the last needed victim in his uncanny rituals. A writer makes a fortune by claiming to have seen the mythical Moth man in point Pleasant, West Virginia, but evokes the wrath of the real creature. You kind of get the drift of things.,

The best, though darkest of the tales are the first two.

In They’re Tearing Down Hoe Finn’s Arena, a pro wrestler confronts the past by returning to the condemned arena in Canton (Ohio) where he once killed a rival in the ring. In this empty arena, the lights come on where there is no power, the silent building rocks with cheers and once again, he relives the deeds from his past.

The ghosts of the empty arena come back to claim their own.

In the next tale, Between God, The Devil & A Pair Of Horns, an American bullfighter born in Ohio, but seeking adventure as a novice torero, leaves his home for Peru. There, he receives a massive goring and luckily pulls through.

After being released from the hospital, said bullfighter stumbles upon a bullfighting bar in Lima, devoted to dead bullfighters. He enters and partakes in an educational program where the narrator delivers a lecture on death in the ring.

All is fine and dandy until the young man sees his own death on the video screen.

Fleeing, he finds himself trapped in a netherworld where dressed in his suit of lights once again, he must confront destiny. The lecturer comes to his aid dressed in a bullfighting costume of his own and informs him he too, was killed in the ring.

Now, as all others have done before, the young man must prove himself int eh other world. There are bullfights in heaven…or hell…one imagines, for the trumpets blow and the gates open before him.

“Who si out there, on the other side?” the young man asks, wishing to know the audience who will be appraising him.

“Who do you think?” the other man responds and with that they make their way across the sand int his phantom plaza, where the dead return to resume their passion of old.

The book ends with one final story, where the identity of the mysterious Traveler is revealed and The Sin Killer meets his fate at The Cemetery On The Hill.

A truly creepy piece of work, though not the fanciest production, this is available for book purchase in the $10.00 range and also a very economical downloaded e book version fior around $2.00

A My Space for the book exists at http://www.myspace.com/graveyardpolka and the actual Lyly page where orders, sample pages and info may be found exists at http://www.lulu.com/content/5099181

An Interview With Belinda Bentley by Dale Pierce

Right now I am a celebrity psychic. My career started as an actress about 8 years ago and during that time acting helped me express and helped me get comfortable talking to people. I was a very shy child, so acting became an amazing outlet and just really pushed my limits so I can say what I feel and tell my clients what I am getting. I decided at that time doing films would be something fun, entertaining and educational! Doing films I could mix my psychic world with film.That is how my company BentleyFilms & Intuitive Productions were formed. My mission is to educate and to entertain.

We have been working on Belinda Bentley's Raw Fear for about two and a half years. This is a film where I take my team, G.H.O.S.T (Ghost Huntresses On Site Team) to haunted locations and try to connect with the ghosts who reside there. It is mainly Stan Hall and I. We are some what ghost counselors. I personally let spirits talk through me, channel through me and relive experiences through me. Then they heal and the energy and traumatic event is gone. Many times allowing them to experience things through me I am healed of a fear or problem. No matter how extreme the experience is the end result is healing and love for all evolved and it is all captured on film.

Once we get Raw Fear out of the way I will begin on the other projects I have in mind. Currently I am just enjoying the process right now and learning a lot about production, paranormal and myself. I want my next project to be a Burning Man documentary! I go to Burning Man every year and to show the world what Burning Man is really about would be extraordinary and close to my heart! Most people think it is sex and drugs, but burning man is truly a spiritual experience. It is what you make it. Sex I think for a lot of people is a huge part of it, but to me sex is spiritual! I am also have been working on reality TV and I might do a bit more of that between projects I love it. My next appearance will be on Vh1's The Cho Show airing August 21, 2008. It is about comedian Margaret Cho's life.

I am not here to convince anyone of anything and I am not here to educate anyone who doesn't want to be educated. I believe that skeptics are skeptics for a reason! Those narrow-minded people can really help us ask the right questions to get to the truth of things, but my main goal is to reach those who have always felt there is something more to life than what we see. My mission is to reach those who want to believe and to help them break away from narrow-minded people who hold them back, while still respecting the place of skepticism.

We encountered human possession and were able to heal the spirits. It was very scary and we all I think encountered our worst fears from feeling scared, being possessed, to not knowing what to do and feeling helpless we all faced it head on and were healed because of it. Targeting our own fears with the intent to face them and become at peace with them, make it safe for us to do what we do. Negative spirits attack and attach to those who are afraid. So, we have no intention to hanging on to those fears.

There is information on my website. Every year around Halloween there will be new updates while we film.

Not really they are all amazing and I hope to continue doing more and learning more. I have a couple of other business ventures I want to do in the up coming years.

Working with people who say they want more out of life, or want help, or want to experience the paranormal and then they are not ready when they arrive. It really takes away from the experience of psychic readings and film production. So I started telling the universe to fix that and bring me the people who are truly ready and it has been different every since. So I can fully love my job again. I feel like we are the masters of our own destiny and if there is something I don't enjoy I am creating it, so I always working at creating the life I want including who I attract in my life.

Yes, the Belinda Bentley religion. Live life to the fullest, follow your fears, get out of your comfort zone, live your life for you and no one else and treat people the way you want to be treated! Those are my 5 rules or commandants to live by. Other than that I have no religious affiliations.

Whatever you do in life, whether it be film making or something else, follow your heart and don't be afraid when the path seems to change if you can go with the flow like you would the waves in the ocean you will get more than you asked for in regards to your dreams!

An Interview With Jason Pearson of Cloud Ten Pictures by Dale Pierce

Cloud Ten Pictures is an independant Christian film production company that was started in the mid 1990s by Peter and Paul Lalonde. We are probably best known for the Left Behind trilogy based on the books by Timothy LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. However, we have produced other fantastic Christian based movies such as the Apocolypse Series and the upcoming Saving God starring Ving Rames.

I work in the marketing department helping to launch the new Cloud Ten Church Cinemas Program. Churches and other organizations have the ability to purchase a site license to screen our new films as well as past films from the C10 library.

A church or organization can purchase a 3 month site license for each film as they are released. The cost of the license kit is $59.99. Included in the kit is one copy of the movie, the public screening license, as well as some promotional materials. The license covers both for profit as well as non-profit screenings of the movie. We have recently added most of our older film library at a reduced rate for the kit. Churches now also have the option to order a package that also includes 10 additional copies of the movie for sale at their event as a way to help offset the cost of the movie night. Ordering is easy - simply contact us at (888)684-5561

The primary reason that some of our films have caught on in the secular world is because they are pretty good movies, and their are a lot of people who are willing to watch a movie that tells a good story, even if they disagree with its message. I also think that there are a large number of people in the world who are searching for answers to their questions, and feel that they just might be able to find some truth on these movies.

No, it doesn't bother me that some people look at the Left Behind movies simply as a horror franchise. Those movies deal with some pretty horrific situations. The spiritual content is always going to be there, and whether people agree with it or not, or choose to see it in the stories is their decision.

When I view the Omen, I view it from the perspective of a Christian, and I see some tremendous spiritual content. As a Christian, I see the world through that worldview.

I am happy to be doing what I am doing right now. however, if the oppurtunity came up to be involved in front of the camera, I would jump at that chance. I've always loved acting.

It was advertised in a local job bank and I applied.

Yes, we have a few new things on the horizon. Smuggler's Ransom is currently available, we have the Genius Club starring Tom Sizemore, Stephen Baldwin and Tricia Hefler scheduled for church release in August and as mentioned earlier Saving God starring Ving Rames. There are trailers available at www.cloudtenpictures.com We also have some information in the news & press section regarding some projects that are on the table for 2009.

I certainly think that the Genius Club and Saving God have tremendous crossover appeal. Mostly because they are just really cool flicks.

Christians will enjoy these movies because they are primarily entertaining movies that have very little objectionable content in them. It's nice to be able to watch a movie with my 12 year old daughter and not have awkward questions to answer. The other reason these movies should interest Christians is because they can be a tremendous way for you to reach out to your friends that aren't believers.

They really are entertaining movies. Genius Club will make you think, and Saving God will make you feel. Check out the website, and look for the movies when they come out. Better yet - Christians, let your Pastors know about the Church Cinemas program and how they can get involved.

I've only been here since April...coming from a customer service background, I will say that as a general rule, I am much less likely here to get told where to go, and much more likely to be told how to avoid going there.

Just want to thank you for the time and the platform, and to remind everyone to keep an eye out for the C10 movies at a church or store near you.

Nope - thanks again.
