“I knew a man who once said, ‘Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back.’”
Roman General Marcus Valerius Maximianus

Another fantastic audio version of book 2, Journey Into Madness.
There is lots of room for debate throughout the world about a man named Cartaphilus. Many people of good reputation claim to have spoken to him and throughout history some have claimed to have personally known him. There is no mention of Cartaphilus in the Bible, so many of us would write off these tales as folklore. This is a fictional book about conspiracies to commit murder, nothing more. I have not written this book to offend religious sensibilities. This book is pure fiction and based on what if scenarios. There have been conspiracies since the beginning of recorded history. The conspiracy to kill Jesus Christ began when he interfered with the finances and politics of the Jewish Temple that was under the authority of the Sanhedrin. Was Jesus killed on the cross? What if he wasn’t? What would we do if we found out that he lived only to be killed somewhere else? I will take the actual history of time and twist all of this into a mystery.Each religion has its own version as to what happened in the first century during the Roman occupation of the Middle East. Please remain open-minded and let your imagination wander through time. Then ask yourself could it have happened that way? The timelines and historical events are close. However, what might Cartaphilus know that historians do not? Perhaps hidden truth about other’s misdeeds. We have trusted and placed faith in what was written well over two thousand years ago, should we trust that? Could Jesus have argued his case when standing before Pontius Pilate? I believe that he could have very easily, but instead chose what he felt was his destiny. Enjoy the adventure, Kathy.
Welcome to the continuing story of The Cartaphilus Conspiracy, Journey into Madness, Book Two.I let my imagination travel through time to capture the mysticism of religion and conspiracies. All of this wrapped around the personalities of my fictional characters. The interpretations of Revelation are mine and mine alone, no one else. I am not trying to offend any one person’s religious sensibility.This book is a continuation from the first book, Cartaphilus Conspiracy, Journey into Sin. Although the dangers and adventures intensify, there are some reference back to Book One, a continuing story if you will. There are situations in Book Two that started in Book One. Come and join my characters as they deal with conspiracies, fallen angels, and the Revelation. Enjoy the adventure, much love, Kathy.
I present to you the third book of Cartaphilus Conspiracy, Beginning of Redemption, Book 3. Many of the situations in book 3 will refer back to books 1 and 2. Through heavens intervention everyone is brought for-ward to face evil of the past. George and Chris have no choice but to discuss conspiracies that occurred in the twentieth century. One of the saddest times in our world’s history was the twentieth century. George compares patriotism with political deviancy from what he knows had happened and why. George will talk about specific times of history that he was involved with. There are many conspiracies that have cost millions of people their lives. Book 3 will step over those boundaries to explain what Cartaphilus (George) knows. Veronica returns and is prepared to teach her son what has been given to her by the Heavens. She must teach her son (Israel) the true meanings of the Revelation. Is everyone ready to handle the atrocities of evil preparing to bring travesties against the human race because of their ignorance?
I present to you the final book of the Cartaphilus Conspiracies, Last Man Standing, Book 4. I do hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it. The final chapter in this book had me crying for hours before I could finish it. I have spent an overwhelming amount of time in the creation of the characters as well as their personalities. I usually hate the fact that I have to tell everyone that my characters are not modeled after any one person that I know living or dead. All organizations and religious ideologies are purely fiction and have not been written to offend any one per-son’s religious sensibilities. If you feel that I am going to Hell, well then pray for me. I can assure you that I will not be foolish enough to go in a wooden rowboat. I am sure there will be opinions about Marilyn Monroe and President Kennedy. Once again, I reiterate the word fiction.
What People Are Saying
Cartaphilus, Book 1, Journey into Sin
I had the privilege of working with the author, and for some reason she blessed me by allowing me to read this book before it was published. It is so filled with adventure that I found it difficult to put down. Many hours of research went into the writing of this book by the author, and many more by myself because I was driven to verify historical facts that were referenced. I was thoroughly engrossed in the story and at the same time learned quite a bit of history. I have to say that as much as I loved this story there was one part where I was thoroughly disappointed and that was on the last page…the end…not because of how it ended, but because it ended. I want more! I can’t wait for the next in the series. Thank you Kathleen for your blessings, your insight, your trust, and your creative spirit. To anyone reading this review…get this book, read it, enjoy it, learn from it, you won’t be disappointed.

“Just finished reading all four books of “The Cartaphilus Conspiracies,” and it was a great read! Kathleen has really gone way beyond the realms of conspiracies and imagination. The characters actually make you feel that you are standing there listening to them. The last book actually broke my heart because it was the end of the greatest adventure that I have ever read.”
— Teresa
“Cartaphilus Conspiracy: I did not think anything could be better than the first book of this series, I was wrong. All four books continue through an adventure to the likes that I have never read. I even read the third book in one day; I just could not put it down.”
