I am a new author with two published books to my credit. The Last Degree (DIP Publishing) was released last month. The book was inspired by my obsession with conspiracy theory. I am a Christian who believes in doomsday prophecy. I also believe there is a shadowy government that is running the world behind the proverbial curtain. The prime suspects are the Bilderbergs, Freemasons, Illuminati, Bohemian Club, and/or Club of Rome. Conspiracy theorists hold that the elite will reveal themselves once they organize the world under one government. This theory is called New World Order, and my novel links it to biblical prophecy. Crazy, right? I’m not alone. Some are much more serious about this line of thinking, going as far as constructing underground living quarters, preparing for the end.
My second book, Halo of the Damned, will be released on February 7th. Once again religion inspired me. This book isn’t as serious, but research still plays into the plot. I stumbled upon an article about the Yezidi religion many years ago. Part of their religion is about angel worshipping, particularly Malak Tawas, the peacock. This angel is known as Satan in the West. I mixed the obscure religion with my own cynical views of the advertising industry and turned it into a novel.
About the books:
The Last Degree: Secret societies plan for the first phase of New World Order. The novel is dedicated to all Birthers, Truthers, 2012ers, Tribulationists, and/or conspiracy advocates that question the inner circle of the elite.
Halo of the Damned: A fallen angel uses the advertising industry to gather souls for Satan.
Author’s Bio:
Dina Rae is a new author that is here to stay. As a former teacher, she brings an academic element to her work. Her research on the Yezidi religion and love of art inspired her story telling for Halo of the Damned.
Her other novel, The Last Degree, is a fictionalized account of the Freemason’s role in the New World Order. Dina’s grandfather was the Most Worshipful of his lodge. The subject has always held a personal interest.
Dina lives with her husband, two daughters, and two dogs outside of Chicago. She is an avid reader, tennis player, movie buff, and self-proclaimed expert on conspiracy theories.

The Dark Phantom Review 
Fantastic guest post! I love hearing all about the stories behind books, great job, Dina!
Very interesting concepts. Great guest post. Good luck with your work.
Wow! Very interesting post. Here in Denver Colorado,; I heard that there is a special tunnel under the new airport. How true this is I am clueless, but it certainly makes a good plot for a book. I am wishing you great success with your new endeavors.

People always love stories like this. Even the supposed educational channels are getting so they run programs based on suspense and rumor. I love that this is labeled fiction! (-:
Best,

I’d like to thank the lovely and talented Mayra for posting my interview. And thanks for all of the wonderful and encouraging comments.
Food for Thought:
The Denver airport was discussed on one of those History Channel shows the other day-how it’s an underground bunker for the inner circle, etc. And Jonathan Brandmeier’s Chicago radio show discussed with “leading authorities” HAARP-a mysterious governmental site in Alaska, Norway, and seventeen other places. Conspiracy theorists believe the engineering can cause natural disasters and make people afraid that the End of Days are coming. This fear will lead to New World Order!

Wow! These sound like great books. Congratulations on entering this crazy world of publishing.
Wishing you the best,

Wow – that’s scary stuff (and not just the doomsday and conspiracy theories). Whatever the impetus for your story, you’ve done a good job of real life theory and fiction promotion together. Good luck with it!
Great article. Wishing you lots of success!
Glad to know I’m not the only one that thinks everything is a conspiracy:) Wishing you much success!

Best of luck with your writing, Dina!
