The Christmas star has been identified using NASA provided astronomy computer programs. Fifteen years of ancient sky events were electronically surveyed and correlated with symbols, symbolism and interpretations used by sky watchers over 2,000-years ago. Additional significant celestial birth announcements just prior to Christ’s birth have been discovered and verified with additional computer programs. The first spectacular celestial events announced why the first Earth-born God would become the greatest God in the universe. The final Christmas star over Bethlehem was the geographical position marker for the birth place of that God, Jesus Christ. This book has been written for readers ages 12+.
Reviews:
Unraveling the Christmas Star Mystery is a thorough, accurate and spellbinding account of the Christmas Star phenomenon based on numerous NASA computer programs, Biblical passages, historical records, illustrations on ancient monuments, coins and legal seals dating back three thousand or more years. The scientific data with ancient observations and beliefs form a precise explanation of the birth of Jesus and the associated phenomenon of the Christmas Star. This text is a good source of information for the scholar, teacher, and population in general. Recommended highly for Biblical Scholars. H.J. Lewis, M.D.
A very unique book that is quite thought provoking in its analysis and connections. Many have been critical of the Christmas Star mystery as well as the wise men, but Ms. Baron logically shows why this could be one of the strongest arguments "for" the validity of the claim adding yet another proof to the Christian apologists' belt. Well done." Jean Payens o"Paladin," NYC

THE MINDREACHER SERIES 
International Speculative Fiction Adventures
The author of Speculative Fiction creates a world that does not exist according to our "current knowledge of reality." Speculative fiction changes over time as knowledge and technology change. Speculative fiction can be a precursor to future facts.
MINDREACHER - The Joburg Project
From secret corridors under JFK International Airport ...
When told the only way to identify terrorists was by reading their minds, The President secretly created VESPER, the Virtual ExtraSensory Perception Experimental Research Project. Housed in forgotten corridors under New York’s JFK International Airport, the project mission is to find telepaths strong enough to identify terrorists by flying over cities.
Several children born in Johannesburg, South Africa 30-years earlier were rumored to have been superior telepaths. Their families hid them by moving to other countries. Their existence was forgotten by most. If located, they could easily find terrorists.
An elite USMC officer, who hates psychics, assigned as liaison between VESPER and the Office of the Secretary of Defense, is trained to recognize a psychic event. When he identifies a female psychic event catalyst and takes her to VESPER, he's ordered to be her bodyguard. She's assigned to search internationally for a Jo'Burg telepath. Caught between using known military tactics or listening to advice of a telepath, the bodyguard has to make death defying decisions.
Not wanting to be identified by telepaths, terrorists try to destroy VESPER.
The fate of the United States lies in the hands of an innocent telepath, entangled in the intrigues of the government, and her Marine bodyguard.
Females of all ages will be thrilled learning about an innocent, middle-aged, telepathic heroine entangled in the intrigues of the government and her dangerous international search for a mindreacher. Male readers will empathize with the elite U.S. Marine Corps officer assigned to protect a reluctant telepath during death threatening events on land, water and in the air. Readers should expect surprises. Everyone will enjoy the humor.
The initial action-packed thriller in the mindreacher series blends current and future technology with paranormal activity. Not yet published, it has already attracted a broad spectrum of followers of all ages. The international and multicultural aspects of the novels heighten the reader's awareness of existing countries, cultures, religions, people and technology. New York Gotham Writers workshop participants and others have compared "Mindreacher-The Jo'Burg Project' to a cross between the genres of the Clive Cussler and Indiana Jones.
