Action Adventure and More, August 6, 2010
By Julianne

Douglas' first novel is a an action adventure, but so much more than that. I fell in love with the characters and didn't want to say goodbye to them when the novel ended. The plot was tightly woven with deep spiritual truths. There was so much humor and love throughout, I was laughing through my...I won't say tears, exactly - well, maybe a few - but how about, "my deeply felt emotional connection." And as if all that weren't enough, his vision for humanity gave me hope that all is not lost. Not only worth reading; it's worth rereading, savoring, and sharing.

A Powerful Gift to Humanity, August 6, 2010
By Deborah A. Moen, Cedar City, Utah USA

Bill Douglas reveals his creative genius in his new suspense-thriller novel 2012 The Awakening. This page turning book shook me beyond my expectations. In every chapter my senses came alive in plots with descriptions that stayed with me for hours and days long after closing the book. There is common thread of depth and realism, that built with intensity, and made me want more. Spectacular experience! Powerful! A must read. It is fast paced, unforgettable and will ignite your wildest dreams for yourself, your loved ones and humanity. I highly recommend this book.

A must read for the planet, August 6, 2010
By Chants for Change

This is the most exciting book I have ever read. The story draws you in and it's extremely difficult to put the book down, like The Da Vinci Code on steroids. Bill addresses issues that are crucial to our time, like the future of the planet. If you want an engrossing, stellar read with deep insights, this is the book for you. If you know people who read that you really care about, this is the book for them.

By Diane Gold, Florida

What a refreshing combination of suspense and sense, and in my favorite genre, political drama. I knew it was one of the good ones when I was on the edge of my seat throughout the read.

A great read with lasting meaning, I recommend that you get this book and read it for a super adventure . . .

By David M. Bucklow (Canada E. Coast)

I have just finished reading this book...Wow !! what a rush. On a similar line with "Angels & Demons" lots of Intrigue & Suspense... enough that I found it hard to put down. Great story line & now I'm thirsty for the next book. Get the next one printed Bill.

Our world lost connection with its feminine spirit long ago ... Her greatest desire - her greatest ambition - was to nurture ... can you see the power of that? Can you understand how profoundly beautiful that ambition is?


     The feminine force within us will now wield the power of 52,000 years of masculine technological development - and the balance created by this profound marriage will transform everything.

-- Ravi Shyamalan, Nobel Prize Recipient, 2012 The Awakening

"When we look back at life's history . . . cells that could adapt to collective living and mutually beneficial relationships . . . evolved into the higher states of life.

The knowledge of the prophets is woven into the very fabric of the universe - if our minds can open to hear its subtle wisdom."

      - Ravi Shyamalan, 2012: The Awakening

Read THE BUZZ!

Bill Douglas's intensive research is as fascinating as Dan Brown's (a la The Da Vinci Code). However, Douglas delves beyond Brown's western archives into ancient Eastern and Aboriginal realms of wisdom - elegantly tying them to western spiritual history - exploring their essence by citing actual and amazing modern cutting-edge research into human consciousness.

. . . all layered within a nail-biting narrative of three-dimensional characters running, not just for their lives, but for the survival of modern civilization.

Douglas's novel offers the literary equivalent of the guilty pleasure of a hot fudge sundae with all the nutritional value of a healthy, organic meal.

MORE BUZZ!

WOW! So moving, I wept.
So intriguing, I could not put it down!

Bill Douglas shows astonishing clarity about
the nature of consciousness as well as many
mportant issues of our time. If you care about
the future of our planet - this is a MUST READ!

- Kristopher M. Kriner, Sufi Cherag,
Composer/Performer of the world-renowned
Sufi chant recording Bismallah






























I called Bill Douglas the day after receiving a preview copy of his mysterious 2012 manuscript, with a jesting complaint about how his page-turning novel had just kept me up all night long.

What had kept me up, turning page after page - was not just 2012: The Awakening's pulse pounding high adventure, but even more so it was its intelligent spiritual compassion. 2012: The Awakening is a clarion call to heed the prophet's advice to turn within, and thereby re-discover our inner wisdom and re-emphasizing the Yin-Female dimension.

The tale is a cautionary one about the folly of a modern society's seduction toward the worship of technology, rather than seeing technology as a tool to facilitate and empower visions of spiritual compassion.

Vanguard scientific research into human consciousness; modern environmental-sociological insights; and intriguing esoteric quotes from ancient prophets - are all woven to make a convincing case that ancient prophets were not issuing airy platitudes, but more accurately, a roadmap to navigate the troubled waters of our intensifying over-populated modern world - by following the compass of empathy and love.

Consider 2012: The Awakening's shining heroine, Ravi Shyamalan's words. 'When we look back at life's history . . . cells that could adapt to collective living and mutually beneficial relationships . . . evolved into the higher states of life. The knowledge of the prophets is woven into the very fabric of the universe - if our minds can open to hear its subtle wisdom.'

Myth making, in the form of fiction, can be a powerful spiritual vehicle if its author has a true heart. It is obvious that Bill Douglas has such a heart, for it is opened to us in the pages of this fun, thrilling, and profoundly meaningful novel.

I look forward to the official release of Bill's next novel A Conspiracy of Spirits - which, yes, I stayed up all night reading a working draft of as well - Bless you, Bill!

- Dr. Effie Chow, Member of the President's White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy (under Clinton); Founder of the World Congress on Qigong and the East West Academy of Healing Arts; creator of Chow Medical Qigong Systems; The American Qigong Association
