An ancient myth is happening right now, changing all who discover
it. Near the end of the Terminal Classic Mayan period, a high
priest commits a murder where a sacrifice is needed. The
consequences of his deed will reach across worlds and ages. In our
own time, Lydia Rosenstrom is a master translator working with an
archeological team in Yucatan and on a virtual reality simulation
of the ancient site. She is drawn into a dangerous convergence of
realities. This tightly-woven tale blends mysticism, technology,
archaeology, and authentic Mayan history. This is not a saga about
supposed prophecies of the end of the world! it is instead an
engrossing story of challenges, consciousness change, and
transformation. Living Now Book Awards--Mayan Interface won the
Silver Medal for Adventure Fiction! "Modern science and ancient
magic take on new and exciting meanings." -- Fred Alan Wolf,
physicist and author "A fascinating exploration into a mythic past
and technological future."-- N. Katherine Hayles, Professor of
Literature, Director of Graduate Studies, Duke University "The
circular nature of time and the need for change are recurring
themes in this well-researched novel" -- Sharon Sullivan Mujica,
former Director, Yucatec Maya Program, UNC Chapel Hill and Duke
University
