Bøker av Jerry Owens

An action-packed historical fiction thriller with a touch of fantasy that will satisfy your adventurous side, tug at your heart, and make you cheer. Follow the epic adventures of five generations of ancient warriors in this fictional story based on history. These heroes and heroines are august warriors, builders of cities, and founders of kingdoms and countries. Their story takes place a millennium before the rise of the Roman Empire, when dragons are still being born and giants walk the earth. Yet, neither fate, love, evil, or heartbreak can keep our heroes and heroines from their destiny.The story begins as Brutus reminisces about the generations of heroes who came before him. These ancestors led him through the ages to his moment in time, at the birth of a new civilization and a new country. Each generation of heroes face the challenges and obstacles put in their path, be it hostile armies, mystical creatures, and natural or unnatural disasters.Anchises, once a hero of Troy and great warrior, is now aged and weak from the many battles fought and won. His roll now, an elder and counsel to the royal family of Troy, and to his own family. Aeneas rescues a thousand women and children from certain death at the fall of Troy. Their miraculous escape and adventures take them from Troy to Thrace to Carthage, and many places in between. Ascanius battles with enemies and dark forces to found a new city, which history tells was the foundation of Rome. Silvius inherits a kingdom from his father, and weds a divine entity who has taken human form. Tragically, Silvius is killed by his own son. His son cannot be executed because he is royalty, and so is forever exiled from the land he loves, which starts the whole chain of events and adventures that led to the making of Memories of The First King.

Sometimes history can be more entertaining than fiction..."William Owen II, Knight and 3rd Baronet of Anglesey, fled Wales and immigrated to the colonies in A.D.1650 for fear of being murdered by his cousin, who bribed the English Crown to be named 1st Baronet of Orielton, stealing the title and position from him after the death of William's father".A genealogy of the Owens families of the northern neck of Virginia, from A.D.1960 to 1178 B.C. It all starts in the town of Owens, Virginia with Eustace Conway Owens, then follows the Owens bloodline back to Brutus, the founder and first King of Britain. Three generations and extended family, such as marriages and in-laws, are included in most every chapter. Travel back through time from colonial Virginia in 1650, to medieval Wales, then to Scotland, and finally to the founding of ancient Britain. The first paragraph of each chapter contains the subject's name, other names they were known by, titles, monikers, ranks, and basic personal data when available, i.e., date of birth, place of birth, christening or baptism, date of death, place of death, date of burial, and place of burial. The story or narrative of each person begins with the second paragraph. This usually starts with information regarding the subject's place of birth or marriage with a list of their children. Where available, biographical information is provided for the subject's children, or a short sub-paragraph of available facts. In the case of limited information, the subject's story or narrative may be a short statement giving the reason for the lack of information. It is my hope that you and anyone else interested in the ancestry of America will enjoy these pages, and that it sparks your imagination and interest in researching your family history.
