Antares influences the turning point in the life cycle of the individual.

It demands we take a stand for our truth against established conditions or authority directing our lives when those conditions no longer serve our best interests or freedom.

It was the sting of Scorpio that resulted in the death of Orion the Hunter.

Welcome to the James Strauss, Author website! My world travels to over 100 countries, have allowed me the rare privilege to study and live among various cultures. Many of these travels have entailed singular events and situations which I captured in my journals for later use as an author. My New Productions present interesting plots, exciting adventures, provocative mysteries, and occasional thrills, all told from differing perspectives in thought provoking styles. I hope that these works will add to your reading enjoyment while providing years of entertainment.
