Excerpt:

These beings I pondered, had powers far beyond ours. They could move objects around. They could move around in time. They could make people forget events. They could alter documents. I had no doubt that they could place thoughts in people's minds if they so desired. Could they even bring Amanda forward and change events to make her fit in unnoticed? That was extreme but the thought crossed my mind.
What power they had if they chose to use it. They are around us I acknowledged to myself and we didn't know it. Those who suspected such were dismissed as dreamers or idiots. I recalled that writers had even written novels contemplating their existence in ancient times. Carvings on walls back then and artifacts depicted images of alien beings. Huge designs had been carved into the earth in ancient times that could only be identified from the air. Monuments and pyramids had been built out of large blocks with such precision that only an advanced society could have assisted our ancestors in constructing them.
I feared that should these beings ever wander from their mission to seek knowledge and preserve, then our earth would be in extreme danger. I could only hope that this would never happen, that their society was dominated by those who by virtue of their intelligence and knowledge would know that the destruction of another species would serve no useful purpose. I could only hope that these benevolent beings were in control of those who might aspire to malevolent actions, and would never let such a tragedy occur.

By Toni Hull of Epic Book Promotions:
Frank Arcilesi has recently authored Everyday a Bird Learns How to Fly.

Montgomery Village, Maryland is an area of rolling green hills, beautiful parks and cherry blossoms. Dubbed 'The Best Hometown in Maryland', Montgomery Village is a short train ride from Washington DC, and less than an hour's drive from Baltimore. Along with 40,000 other people, Frank Arcilesi calls Montgomery Village his home.

The air was crisp and the sky was bright the October morning that I asked Mr. Arcilesi to fill me in on his novel Every Day a Bird Learns How to Fly, and his life in general.

"I grew up in Baltimore, Maryland with my mom, dad and older brother. The city had a special charm with its small ethnic neighborhoods and friendly people. Of course there were the Orioles and Baltimore Colts, until they (Colts) were unceremoniously hijacked at midnight by the Mayflower vans. Johnny Unitas and Brooks and Frank Robinson were my heroes.

When I was a kid my mom worked as a buttonhole maker in a custom suit factory and my dad pressed garments. These were tedious un-fun jobs but they kept food on the table for my brother and me. School was a little out of the ordinary. My high school was all male and we had to rent female cheerleaders from other schools for our football games. We never knew if they were really cheering for our team or the opposition." Today the cheerleaders are more honest in their enthusiasm since the school is now coed. Later I attended college just eight miles north of Baltimore at Towson State University. That is where I studied mass communications and mathematics. I'll let you decide which one I found boring."

"How about favorite places?"

"Antiques shops are fascinating and I will stop at any new one I discover. I also love to drive through the countryside of Pennsylvania during the fall. In the summer though, my favorite spot is the resort town of Ocean City, Maryland, with its sandy beach and long, long boardwalk stretching past the many souvenir shops and food stands. I also like to search the small resort town for new restaurants specializing in fine seafood. There are some excellent ones which I discovere...
