Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I started writing when I was in middle school, as a way to escape the boredom of growing up in a small town. After the local bowling alley finally closed its doors one summer, I decided to start using my imagination coupled with a pen or pencil to relieve my desire to explore beyond home. To date, I have one published book on the market and I am working on another one that I hope to release soon.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The title of my latest paperback is Pyramid Rising: Planetary Acupuncture to Combat Climate Change, and it was inspired by a correlation I found between earthquakes, natural disasters and places of power such as Stonehenge, Giza and many dozen other locations that are assembled on what is known as the World Grid.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not that I am aware of, but I have a habit of writing about unusual things.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
There are so many authors and books out there that are worth mention, it’s tough to determine which books or which authors have had more of an influence on how I write or what I write about. Graham Hancock and David Hatcher Childress are two authors that are big influences, both whom are still active writers and world explorers in search of Truth.

What are you working on now?
The title of my latest book is not set in stone quite yet, but so far I’m calling it “Island Files: Big Island, Big Mystery”, and it was inspired by my experiences in Hawaii as an anomalous researcher.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
The best methods I’ve found for promoting my books is by word of mouth and by sharing them on Facebook with my friends and family. Of course my publisher; http://www.ShantiPublishing.com has a few tricks up their sleeves that I might be unaware of!

Do you have any advice for new authors?
My advice for any new author is something I keep in mind and try to do as much as possible, and that is to write at least one page of new material every day. If you think you’re going to write an entire book in one sitting, think again. When I began my second book I felt completely overwhelmed but once I started accumulating page after page day after day, everything fell right in to plac

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I’ve heard is called the Golden Rule, and it consists of doing to others what you want done to you.

What are you reading now?
I am currently reading “Blink” by Malcolm Gladwell.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I suppose what’s next for me is I finish my new book and get it on the market.

What is your favorite book of all time?
I don’t necessarily have a favorite book of all time, it’s really hard to pick just one. If I had to it would most likely be any book by David Hatcher-Childress, something about ancient mysteries or ancient civilizations.

Anomalous researcher & author Zach Royer moved to Hawaii in 2011 to help start up a futuristic news network as well as expand his alternative shirts and news company, Apparently Apparel. He has interviewed dozens of authors, inventors and is currently on assignment in Kona, Hawaii studying the many mysteries of the island. When not researching about the paranormal, he enjoys fishing, surfing, prepping, and practicing alternative medicine. We have conducted a short interview with him:


Q: Being an Alternative Researcher, what are the effects of the paranormal on people?
A: The effects are different from one person to the next I would say. In my case, the paranormal has had a beneficial effect as it has opened my mind and my eyes to things I never would have guessed existed. In my opinion, based on the popularity of the ‘paranormal’ on TV and in movies, I would say the effects are welcomed more so today than in any other period of history. In medieval times, openly discussing the ‘paranormal’ would have resulted in some sort of persecution.

Q: Do you think Shamanism and altered states of mind are the same experiences?
A: Yes, shamans and altered states of mind go hand in hand with each other. A shaman is a person regarded as having access to, and influence in the world of benevolent and malevolent spirits, who typically enters into a trance state during a ritual, and practices divination and healing. According to Wikipedia, “There is no single agreed upon definition for the word "shamanism" among anthropologists.”

Q: Which of the places that are still practicing Shamanism?
A: Shamanism is a practice that dates back thousands of years, many cultures today still practice it in one form or another. People of Central & South Americas especially make time to keep the old traditions alive, where most of the shamanic traditions found in the world today can still be witnessed there. But from Africa to Australian, Asia to the Americas, Shamanism is still a practice in wide use today on virtually every continent. Makes you wonder about a common origin these wonderful civilizations once shared, which is part of the reason I am a researcher today. You find commonalities among many indigenous cultures that suggest they once all used to be connected – only time will tell.

Q: Have you personally had any out of body experiences?
A: Yes, many times. I really enjoy the interconnectedness felt when having these experiences, leading me to believe this is where many ancient legends originated from. The concept of a “giant web” that weaves us all together is something many shamans and researchers have stated exists beyond our body, and I have seen this many times myself during sleep and while in deep meditation.

Q: What other experiences do you have?
A: I have had experiences of telepathy, prophecy, synchronicity, and feelings of Oneness with the Universe, which coincidentally all happened while meditating inside of a pyramid structure. I’ve also had an increase in EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) while inside of a pyramid, where the energy is said to intensify any paranormal activity.

Q: Are there really UFOs?
A: Yes, of course there are. More reports are being filed today than ever before, sightings are happening globally, and there is evidence to support we have been visited from prehistoric times to present day. Some of the UFOs are flown by the black ops military pilots, from Lockheed Skunkworks or DARPA and some are piloted by genuine extraterrestrials. The latter would be our cosmic ancestors, comprised of many different races, giving knowledge of Mathematics, Astronomy, and Arts to mankind at different intervals throughout history. Our junk DNA is not junk, but actual physical proof of all this. This is what my research leads me to believe. Others are persuaded by the way Hollywood portrays UFOs and ETs, but don’t buy into all that. The fact that humans are still breathing fresh air and doing whatever they want to, is testament of these beings’ benevolence. Also, sources say that the day of 12.21.12 is going to be the day of UFO disclosure – so expect a lot of fun in the near future, something out of a Star Trek novel.

Q: How do you verify their existence?
A: There’s no way you are going to be convinced unless you see one for yourself. I have seen them many times with my own eyes, especially in Colorado and Hawaii, two known UFO hotspots. I have also met many people who have hundreds of undiscovered photos and videos that prove such a thing, not to mention people like Steven Greer and the Disclosure Project coming forward with so much evidence. My theory is that these craft are so advanced, they use the same energy grids that connects each pyramid, as a sort of highway to travel around the planet with. In Germany, you have the Autobahn. On planets UFOs have planetary energy grids to get them from Point A to Point B. After a study of all the available information on UFO activity I came to the conclusion that the speed of light, mass and gravity acceleration values must have some connection with the grid structure in order to explain the extraordinary maneuvers carried out by the strange craft.

The basic grid structure was formed by a series of great circles interlocking at various points around the earth's surface. The nodal points of the two grids, when joined by a series of small and great circles, formed what I have loosely termed polar squares around the north and south geographic poles. It was when I carried out a geometric and mathematical analysis of these sections that I found a direct connection with light, gravity, and mass equivalents, in a harmonic sense. To do this I had to convert all our normal systems of measurement into a single set of units and also convert our time measure into one that would correlate with the grid. After much thought and a long period of trial and error, I finally discovered that angular measure, in minute of arc values, and a time unit based on twenty-seven units for one revolution of the earth, was the key to unlocking the grid secrets.

Q: Can pyramid energy really improve health?
A: Lots of research has been done with this question specifically in mind. Russian scientists have demonstrated on several occasions the healing effects of pyramid energy. Water is structured inside of a pyramid, allowing for better absorption by the human body. Plants growing inside or near the base of a pyramid are larger and more abundant than plants grown in the same climate with no pyramid, and fruit tends to stay fresher for a longer time when kept inside of one, and in almost all cases, the fruit will dehydrate instead of rot.  It’s no wonder that we see pyramids on every habitable continent, and there’s probably a reason that pyramids play a direct role in so many diverse cultures. They are one of the most amazing structures ever built, if not THE most amazing structure.

Q: What are the exceptions?
A: With the exceptions of a few people claiming to suffer headaches after being inside of a pyramid, no other negative health effects have ever been witnessed or documented.
