    About this ebook

    Narrated by a woman who wishes to remain unknown, L.A.R.A. is a tale of communication with an Alien being, crop circle messages and a grand plot to take over the world.
    Programmed to 'wake-up' after 11th November 2011, the narrator realizes that our history is not as we believe it to have been and that many of us have believed only in what our eyes have seen, or what they were meant to see.
    L.A.R.A. brings a message of love, peace and hope, urging us all to open our eyes to the truth.

      Chapter 1

      My story begins from today, 30th November 2011 but in the course of writing my tale, I will have to go over the past at some point; to see how it all fits together and how it led me to now. I’ve kept my secrets for long enough and really, I believe it’s time to start talking. There are certain people in the world today, who need to know. Perhaps they are also keeping their secrets and are ready to learn that they are not the only ones. No-one wants to be different; no-one wants to stand out in the crowd. Most of us want to at least give the impression of moving with the herd, being just like everyone else. Myself? I wanted to be average and so I am. I have an average intelligence, had an average education, have an average income and I am neither ugly nor beautiful so I have average looks too. I even have an average family, two children and a dog. I am so average that people would barely notice me. But my cosmic sister noticed me. In fact, she was looking for ‘average’. When I asked her, why me, she had told me that I was a perfect example of the human race. Most of the planet is populated with people just like me and it’s those people that she wanted to learn about, not the lying leaders and politicians, heads of defense or finance. Average people were what she had looked for. She found me and I’m sure a million other average people were also ‘found’. If you think about it, reasonably, not necessarily logically, wouldn’t all of those average people give them a perfect picture of life on planet earth? Wouldn’t they learn more about us as a race that way? It makes perfect sense to me. Here’s the big confession then. I communicate with an alien. And as if that weren’t, on its own, monumental enough – I’ve been doing it for the last 16 years!

      Does that scare you at all? Because I think it’s time that you knew. Perhaps you’re reading this because you’re just like me and you need to know that there are more of us out there. YOU will know that this isn’t a work of fiction but if you ask me, I’ll say it is. I’ll always say it’s just a story. And when my story is done, I will disappear amongst all the average people in the world, becoming so average that you won’t even know I’m there, you’ll barely notice me at all. People will say, Wow, what a clever work of fiction that was unaware that I am not a very clever woman at all. I will go back to my average life, in a remote location, where I am safe and comfortable and I will watch as the future unfolds. Knowing what I know, understanding the truth.

      Communicating with an alien for the last 16 years was a pretty big secret to keep. I only told my husband, the father of my children about it recently and that was after 9 years of marriage. He was open-minded and didn’t call for the mental health nurses to come and take me away, thankfully. I think he even believes me. So, this is where it’s all really ‘beginning’, after 16 years everything is starting to take off. I’m 42 by the way and although you should really know my name, I’m not going to give it. I call my alien 'my cosmic sister' and her name is L.A.R.A.

      I need to take you back to my childhood, in order to give you a complete picture, to have you connect all of the dots so to speak.

      My birth was much the same as any other, nothing special to say. I was three weeks premature and I look like my father and my grandmother; all perfectly normal. At
