Here’s the set-up:
16-year-old Clare can’t stop drawing the bizarre, winged skulls she calls “Sammies”. Her psychiatrist assumes the compulsive drawings are just expressions of Clare’s grief over her father abandoning her. But then Clare discovers that her Sammies are exact matches for the Death’s Head on the grave of Samantha Forsythe, a teen who reportedly fell to her death over two centuries ago.
Before long, Clare’s drawings morph into cryptic writings that urge her to uncover the truth behind Samantha’s death. Together with Neil — the friend she might be falling for — Clare scours the local history for clues. She finds that, although Samantha was engaged to a wealthy landowner, there were whispered rumors of her involvement with a younger, biracial man.
Soon, Clare is haunted by disturbing dream images — a mysterious eye, a broken chain — that point to someone Samantha called her “Dearest”. But who is Dearest? And why does Samantha need Clare to find him so badly?
Isolated and carrying hidden scars of her own, Clare fears her obsession with Samantha will threaten her sanity and safety. But it seems she has no choice in the matter . . .
The Grave Artist is a compelling paranormal murder mystery and a poignant story about loss and what it means thrive in a less-than-perfect reality.

Here’s the set-up:
Maybe the Earth has thousands of years left, or only a few months. That´s what are saying the tornadoes, cyclones, earthquakes, volcanoes, planetary magnetic shift, tsunamis and anything else that will eventually lead to a change in the polarity of the Earth’s magnetic grid, and finally a geological transformation of the poles. But the Apocalypse Theory of the End of the Earth in 21.12.2012 faces another serious enigma worthy to decipher, and is that for its theorists many of the evidence is not scientific, but rather confessions of aliens witnesses or as they like to call “friends of the stars”and are encoded in the messages transmitted through the formations captured in the famous” Crop Circles”, who keep a very close relationship with the symbols of “Hunab Ku”. Interestingly, many astronomers confirmed that in December 21, 2012 will happen an accurate alignment between Earth, the Sun and the Galactic Ecuador. If humans depart aside prejudices and belief systems, everybody can see clearly that something extraordinary is happening around the Earth. The Matrix of the planet is changing due to endogenous or exogenous factors. On one hand, man is altering the ecosystem at an alarming rate, and on the other side Earth is influenced by new energies from the Galactic Center. The Earth will continue experiencing severe climate and geological effects such as earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes and volcanic activity, with increased frequency and intensity. When the Earth enters the densest portion of the galactic plane and feels its full gravitational effects, the planet could suffer unprecedented waves of “solar flares”, unexpected meteor showers and unfortunately geographical Pole Shift. No living being knows for sure what will happen in the coming months, especially in the specific date of 12.-21-2012, since the future is yet to occur. Try to approach this great mystery of 2012 with an open mind, however, critical, open to possible scenarios, but requiring evidence. This is not the “End of the World” that is being predicted in the media, a guarantee of conviction, of tumultuous change, and a future full of turmoil that is about to happen. Some prophets are using the true and tested formula of fear to make money, and it makes sense that this fear exists, and that events could be very dire, but still has to address this point in history, balanced and observation. Nobody knows what will happen on December 21, 2012. Will be the Doomsday or the Omega Point, or both, or neither? One thing is certain. Now is a time of radical change, and both problems and innovations lead to a novel situation for a planet of 7 billion people. The biosphere is more decimated than ever. The Sun is more active than in recent times, and can cause some major geological changes. Technology has grown dramatically in an exponential increase, and is about to give birth to a singularity. Whatever will happen, the prophets are sure will be a journey that the human race will never forget!
