The Third Instinct - by Marc Aupiais


Soon to be in physical format too!

Love to be fanned


Sancte Philomena Ora Pro Nobis!


About:

Set in the Greater Johannesburg Area, where the author grew up, this novel discussed South African history, geography, politics, religion, and so much else, in a suspense filled and thriller format. Also entering into the discussion on bio-ethics, murder, death of a friend, suicide, as well as the ethics of espionage and computer hacking, and where patriotism is good, and where it is to the nation's detriment.

The main character Sidney Wolf, as well as other characters, in life and death situations, are forced to choose between what they believe is right and what is most expedient, with varying results.

The novel was written by author Marc Aupiais at the age of 14, before minor edits were made, including footnotes for North American readers, before the author's 21st birthday. It was published first as an ebook, and finally in physical form!

South Africa and Vaal Flooding January 2011

Note by Marc Aupiais

With dozens, if not more dead or missing (some saying 50) South Africa has boast of experiences: the worst flooding in ages. The Newspapers had much better images than on YouTube, but here are some of the videos, mostly focusing on the Vaal river, where it seems YouTube has the most users.

Dear Selena: Be strong

Dear Selena Marie Gomez

Be strong, keep ur head up! And tell the truth of the matter always! You are such a smart and beautiful girl with no appreciation of who she is. Sadly the world will never see you the same way again. At least you have time and God on your side to make things all better! I love you Selena always! Never forget that! I like many others are dreadfully sorry for the shameful things we've said. I love you dearly, but you do need to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth now! Least you be labelled as a liar! I love you dearly! And hope you make it through! Always there for you! And I dedicate my attendance at Sunday mass this Sunday to you! Still my favourite Catholic actress! And miles above the rest! You must understand- until now we've held you to a higher standard out of love. They will no longer be as kind to you! I know God will guide you if you only let Him, Jesus be your true North Star, and your guiding moon!

We want you to marry an ordinary man- not a hollywood liar. We want you to be the one exception! The only exception!

Admirer, friend, praying for a beautiful, wonderful, unique, chaste girl!

Always in my heart!

Now you fight this thing okay! However you can! Because they have no right to say the things they said. And fortunately my close friends shamed me into seeing that!

My prayer: I Am Who I Am: Stop This!

Yahweh Stop this! Stop the army of zombi's who have surrounded a beautiful girl!

I love you always and forever!

P.s. Your first obligation is to God! Not to the crowds! Who are fickle! Do what's right! You will be rewarded!

I pray you have utmost strength in this! And all the divine wisdom and truth God might ever bestow upon my humble and lowly law student self, and in double, triple, quadruple measures!

Any grace I have I give willingly to Selena!
Because she is Alice stuck in Wonderland! And that is what makes her so beautiful!

Mwaa

Xoxo!

Don't become one of them, don't let them get to you! Be strong, strongest ever baby girl! Be true to yourself and your roots!

I've made my twitter picture profile "House Wife in Training! Yup" because you will find the guy and he will be right for you! But look inside into your heart! Not the emotions but the intuition! That's where God speaks! And I know he set aside someone very special for you! Someone not famous, and like me- with no intent to be- only the greatest care for you! Read Tobias (it has several names) in the Catholic Bible! You will find love! Don't give up on him! He entered the world for but one purpose- to serve you!


Love you,

Marc Aupiais,
South Africa,

Fan for life whatever mistakes you make- of which this has been one,

Catholic Christian,

Admirer,

Proud of you!

Your virtue will win you through!

Whatever virtues, graces, gifts I have that you need, I willingly sacrifice for you! I pray always for you to have wisdom, guidance, divine sanity, God, and love!

Smile! I love you!

Marc Aupiais

My email to Selena Gomez

Note by Marc Aupiais

If ever shallow! Whatever man is liked you pursue! Justin Bieber of all people! My compatriots are right to despise you after all! I was most foolish to believe you had even an ounce of substance about you! Quite the drink you appeared for the public spectacle! I am ashamed to have defended your name! You are no less a harlot than any other American actress! You should be ashamed to have been conceived!

Alice's adventures in Wonderland- by Carroll, Lewis

Review by Marc Aupiais

I had always desired to read such a book, whenever a film version came to our old tv set I'd sit down and gander at it!

Reading it was so much more! Mr Chesterton in all his deep, true wisdom says fairytales are more true than any fiction. He is right you see! Should you desire to live a Christian life you must believe in fairytales- not of princesses or frogs or snow white or other complete garbage- but of the sort of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland- which teach the Christian soul how she ought to look upon the earth!

Available for nothing or next to it if you have an Amazon Kindle- or the free pc, ipad, mac, USA Blackberry version of Kindle. Remember to click on the aA and set screen to black as is best for the eyes' viewings!

Black Beauty- my favourite Christian book

Review by Marc Aupiais

I never thought a book could make me cry or so open the eyes or add to my Christian faith, as I have had over the past few days! Crying, weeping for sadness and joy!

Black Beauty, mother says was once banned in South Africa, perhaps by a censor who spoke too few English words or did not bother to read the great work by Sewell (Anna Sewell)- but I got it on my Kindle account, I think for nothing whatsoever and started reading! No animal is as close to my heart as a horse.

Black Beauty should be mandatory reading for any good Christian- for all it teaching in emotion- that which drives us.

It is only the second book I have read in over three years, perhaps five- except perhaps bits of religious work.

Well worth the read! My new favourite book! And it made me cry- which is hard to do- I know as I have tried to cry before but cannot! Though my eyes may water- here two deep, full tears greeted me at the end.

Surely a book any child should be read and any adult should seek out for themselves!
