Request: Agent Needed for Pulitzer Prize Nominated Author Joe Holt


Bio:
Joe Holt (aka Aloha Joe) was born in Santa Barbara, California in 1978. After living in orphanages, foster homes, adoptive homes, and a forced child labor camp, he signed to join the United States Marine Corps on his 17th birthday. After two enlistments in the Marines as an Aviation Electrical Engineer, he had attained the rank of Sergeant, had served two tours overseas, and had earned a National Defense Medal.

A combination of military and off-duty injuries led to his medical retirement at the age of 23. After two failed marriages, multiple near death experiences, learning to walk and talk properly again after being the victim of a hit and run, and VA medicine almost killing me, I moved to the Big Island of Hawaii to go on a walk about. I wrote about my daily thoughts and adventures while living in the tropical rain forest of Hawaii simply for the cathartic value of it. I realized after a year of writing that I had something that I wanted to share with my two sons. I didn't want to just hand them hand written notes, so I went about the task of self publishing a book. That process alone took me a year. During that time I self published my first book in 2013 entitled "Aloha Joe in Hawaii - A Guided Journey of Self Discovery and Hawaiian Adventure." It was published in kindle, epub, paperback, and I even hired a voice actor to do the audio book for iTunes. The paperback is a "Coffee Table Book" with 20 color photos of the Big Island included that I took during my first year there.



At my first author appearance and book signing on the Big Island, I was told that I was the first author to sell out at one of the stores events. I was also told that I had "It" and I have an ability to grab an audience and hold them spellbound. I was also approached by an editor and publisher Renee Robinson from "A Wealth of Wisdom, LLC." She asked if I was writing more and if she could publish it. I had been writing more and we set up a business relationship.

I had written what I thought was one book (in three days of an epic writing torrent) and sent it to her. Her and several proof readers all agreed that I had written two separate books, and the chapters were separated. You see, after having to heavily edit my first book due to it being made for my two young sons, I knew I needed to write another book that was a little more "Tell All." That gave rise to my second book "Stories I Can't Tell My Kids Yet." That book was published in 2014 and includes chapters like "Bacon Saved My Life" and "Craig's List, Paranoid Schizophrenia, Dating, and Why That's a Bad Combination."



The remaining chapters that I had written, plus a few that I wrote a few months later, became "Your Brain is the Key to the Universe: A Comprehensive Guide to Manifesting Your Ideal Reality and World Harmony." This book was just published two months ago and is now officially under consideration for a 2016 Pulitzer Prize in the General Non-Fiction category. Results will be available April 2016. The amazing thing about this book is that it is an "image of timely interest." Of the many things that I cover, gay marriage is one of them and the Supreme Court just legalized it for the entire United States.
The quote on the cover of this book is from an M.D. that I admire very much named Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, who also happens to have published somewhere around ten books of his own. I first met him when I attended a five hour physics lecture at his "Pyramid House" in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii that was given by a 50 year physics researcher named Dr. Rauscher. I was in the process of editing and publishing this book at that time and he offered to read the book and give me some tips. After reading the book he said that he didn't really have any tips, but that he had a quote for the book. I put his quote on the cover because I thought it was amazing. "This book is an exploration of the unknowable cosmos, using the mind as a spaceship."


Nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 2015


The back cover photo of this book is me standing in front of Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii. Mauna Kea is currently at the epicenter of an indigenous peoples debate. There are many countries coming together to build the largest telescope in the world, all while disregarding the native peoples and their culture. I recently wrote a response to a U.C. Santa Cruz Professor's remarks regarding the Hawaiians trying to protect their sacred holy places, of which Mauna Kea is one of the most sacred temples on any Hawaiian Island.

{I am going to try and have a sit down meeting with Michael Bolte. As someone that is from California, who just spent the last 2 1/2 years living on the Big Island of Hawaii learning about Pono Aini, I can say that this Professor needs a history lesson.
"Look, we made a lot of adjustments in how we do business there," Michael Bolte, a professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the University of California at Santa Cruz and one of the main U.S. organizers for the TMT, told BuzzFeed in April. "But there are zero legal barriers here. Someone standing in front of your bulldozer is not a legal issue."
Are you out of your mind Prof. Bolte? You call an illegal overthrow of the Native Hawaiian Kingdom in 1898 "Not a Legal Issue?" Marines were brought to the Islands to annex the Hawaii Kingdom into the United States. This was done against the Hawaiians will and was perpetrated by rich plantation owners. President Bill Clinton was the first President to publicly admit this mistake, which then proved that the U.S. Gov. is aware of its illegal occupation of the Hawaiian Islands.

Not only is the U.S. military illegally occupying the Hawaiian Islands, they have also tricked Native Hawaiians into joining the illegal "Hawaii State Police" presence and have now forced these Uncles and Aunties into positions where they are the ones arresting their own Ohana on Mauna Kea. How cruel of an injustice this is to perpetrate on a people! I am learning now that it is the Department of Land and Natural Resources that is making the arrests, but the point is the same.

Now, many nations have come together to build another telescope on Mauna Kea, one of the most sacred sights on the entire Big Island of Hawaii. And this Professor from over 2,500 miles away can't understand how Native Hawaiians, on Hawaiian soil, protecting a sacred site with their own bodies against his bulldozers, could be a legal issue. If I was the Dean at the University of California at Santa Cruz, I would seriously consider terminating this mans employment due to his encouraging human rights violations, terroristic threatening, and acts of war against another country.
Is it important to build telescopes? I would say yes. Is it important to advance our understanding of our universe? Again, I would say yes. Is it worth advancing technology and science to understand what is "out there" while completely disregarding an entire country and native peoples? Emphatically, No! Aole. Now. And pack your things and beg forgiveness as you move off Mauna Kea. Kiss every rock on the way down begging forgiveness from the Aina and the Goddess Madame Pele. If you are lucky and can make it to Pu'uhonua o Hōnaunau, they might let you live. Even our World Court at the United Nations frowns on Human Rights Violations though.}

.

I am currently writing my Godfather's Anthony Frank Lucido's Biography here in Monterey, California. He went to school with my Grandfather in the 1950s in Monterey. My grandfather went off to Vietnam and my Godfather started working on Fisherman's Wharf. He has been on the wharf now for almost 60 years straight.
 


I have spent the last three months with him and his parents conducting video interviews and publishing them on YouTube under the working title "The Godfather of Fisherman's Wharf." His parent's are 92 and 94 and have been married 72 years. His father was Army Air Corps during WW2. The stories from the three of them are amazing and endless. I am currently in the writing phase as the interviews have been completed. I have plans to create a documentary as well for this project which includes filming on Cannery Row, Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey, and then a trip to Sicily to visit all of his family there. I am currently seeking funding to start the film. I am also going to need an editor and publishing house for this book.


 
I have a fifth book in the works that is an epic novel about my own mis-adventures.

I was published in the Ke-Ola Magazine on the Big Island of Hawaii as a "Featured Author" June-July 2013 for "Aloha Joe in Hawaii."

I have had two author appearances at "Kona Stories Book Store" in Kailua-Kona Hawaii.

I have an author appearance pending at "Luminata Books" in Monterey, California.
I am also starting a wholeness retreat in Ventura, Ca. in October 2015 as a Life Coach and "Renewal of Self" expert with "Second Wind Day Spa."

I have multiple websites, blogs, ect. online to promote myself.




I also have two Facebook pages, Twitter, About Me, LinkedIn, GooglePlus, Amazon Author Pages, Goodreads, Shelfari, iTunes Audio Book, and more. I am constantly searching for new ways to reach an ever expanding global market. I currently have buisness agreements with Amazon in thirteen different world currencies.

I Have Childhood PTSD From Being Raped in a Forced Child Labor Camp.

I Have Childhood PTSD From Being Raped in a Forced Child Labor Camp.

#childhoodptsd #baddreamstonight #rapevictim

I just realized that I have been laying here crying and staring at the wall for the last few hours and was not really asleep, nor was I present in my body. I spoke with my 11 year old son earlier and tonight when I feel asleep, I dreamt about when I was 9 -11 years old. I was in a forced child labor camp and was being raped and abused by a particular staff member for a couple of years.

As an adult I was given a collection of photos from the time I was at that camp and about half the photos are me peeking out from a shower curtain, or peeking out from under a blanket, all just before or after being raped by the man who was taking the photos. Tonight in my nightmare, I was flipping through the photos and was reliving each flashbulb memory. I haven't had any bad dreams in a long time but this time I allowed myself to cry and feel the pain and try and let it go. I sure hope it works this time.

The mind is a tricky thing. Here are things that happened to me 25 years ago and my mind is playing them for me in a way they seem to be happening again, right now. I know that I am safe. I know that I am an adult. I damn sure thought I had worked through all of this. The reason that I am sharing this publicly is that since I wrote "Stories I Can't Tell My Kids Yet" and wrote the chapter about what happened to me at Camp Tracey Children's Home, people have contacted me with their own stories. Some are looking for guidance, while others just want to say it out loud to let it go.

For the record, no I don't have it figured out. Most days it doesn't even enter my mind. When it does, it hurts. The difference is now that I understand that none of what happened to me was my fault, and that I am no longer powerless, I can let the negative energy go. I also don't look at these flash backs as negative things. I believe they are just residual stored energy that is working its way out of my body. You see, my polarity has shifted from negative energy, to positive energy and all of this negativity has to go. Random dogs are drawn to walk up next to me and lay down. Children laugh in delight and stare when I walk by. Random wild birds land next to me and start singing away, like scrub jays, and hawks. I am not the scared little boy I used to be. I am a beautiful soul. The pedophile may have taken away my innocence, but he can't take my inner beauty. I will be the light so that I will never again be consumed by the darkness. Fiat Lux.

-Good Luck Out There!

Lets talk about the "Human Condition" over a time frame of 100,000 years of Human History.


Lets talk about the "Human Condition" 

over a time frame of 100,000 years 

of Human History.



I have been reading through 100,000 years of Ancient Human History in the last two days and I have started to see patterns. When you can surmise history in chunks of 9-10,000 years into less that two pages of information, the patterns become all that you can see. One set of Kings kills the other over and over only to replace this "Animal God" to this other "Animal God" over, and over. The Gods change so of course you have to destroy the temples with the old Gods on them so that you can build the new temples with the new Gods faces or symbol. Then everyone is prosperous until the next cycle starts the process all over again.



The religions names and God's names change, but the stories and numbers in the stories don't. You will notice stories like floods, virgin births, miraculous cures, as well as numbers like 12, 3, 7, 9, 24, 365, 528, ect. 

isis, horus, set


Do human lives really mean so little that over and over the masses have been massacred for a very fews "new" idea of reality? Is our concept of "free will" only an illusion? The solar system moves through cycles of the stars in what is known as the Zodiac or "Animal Belt." Everything in our world is either electric, magnetic, or both. It stands to reason that your physical form and brain would be effected by these patterns. 

aloha joe


The "Holy Science" would agree. It says that our sun has a "sister sun" in the universe. These two suns cycle around each other in cycles of heading towards each other, and then away. In 2012 we were as the farthest point away from our sister sun that we would be, and begun heading back towards our "universal counterbalance." The closer that we get, the faster the universe spins and consequently the pattern gets tighter, and has a greater effect on us. This allows for things to work correctly. We have been so far away from our electric and magnetic counterbalance, that our universe has become the most mathematically chaotic that it will at any point in its ever repeating cycle which would explain the chaos over the last 100 years, and especially the last 20.


If I am off on anything, please tell me if you so desire. I am just trying to understand the "truth" of our physical as well as spiritual selves and how that interrelates to this physical dimension.

A Poem for the Ohana


Ono, Pono, Kama'aina
Kahunas, Punas, and Lahainas
Hula, Heiaus, and Hanai
Sometimes konnichiwa and kampai

Its time to wake up the people
No more need for tv, or steeple
No More Fear, No More guilt. No more regret.
No more hatred. No more pain. No need to submit.
Boiling blood, so angry with rage
Far to long I have been stuck in a cage
There were no bars, no walls, no prison, 
it was all in my mind.
Regretting All of this time I've been walking around blind.
But its called a past for a reason
he left town, now gone with the season.
If he calls, I wont answer, Ive already left town
ask him why he's still hanging around.
If he insists ask him what he has new to say
And leaving him speechless I'll just walk away.

I don't say Pono Aina with anger or fear
Its not my duty, its my honor, just listen. You'll hear.
The whales, seals, starfish, dolphins, and sea lions,
look up its Procyon, Wezen, Pollux, and the mighty Orion
No time for a T.V. or negative vibes
Today at the beach I felt so alive
All I needed was nothing and yet I could see
Right there the world, in the deep blue Pacific Sea.

Our Hawaiian Spirit, Our Hanai, Our Ohana,
Just raised sail! Now is Hawaiki Rising!
Our Blood, Our Pride, Hokule'a
Navigating the oceans to spread our Aloha.
Climb aboard us in spirit, well show you how.
Aloha is love. Aloha is now.

A few thanks in parting we must fondly mention,
Eddie Aikau, Mau Piailug, and all of the crew
Of every time, and every nation, in every canoe.
Personally I'll thank Sam Low, and Hawaiian Pila for helping my ascension. 
All it took was my full attention.
as well as Dan Millman, Oprah, and the Buhhda too,
and now in this moment, each one of you!
Mahalo Nui Loa. Aloha Ke Akua

Help a medically retired Marine take his sons on an RV tour of California this summer.

.'. On the level .'.


Aloha Friends!

You will be bidding on 

Aloha Joe in Hawaii's

5.4" Natural Clear Quartz Skull. 


The reason that the Buy it Now price is so high

is that I am a medically retired Marine Sgt.

and I don't have much money.

Someone just hit my car for the third time

in a hit and run, in my parking spot,

and the car was totaled.

Insurance sent me $573 for it so I

borrowed money from them to 

buy a car from the dealership.

Turns out that that car has been

in an unreported front end collision

and I almost crashed. They fixed that

and the steering pump went out.

There is more, but you get the point.

I need to raise money to rent an RV in California

this summer, and drive my kids around the state.

I have a California Distinguished Veterans

Park Pass, and I intend to use it!

I want to show my children the 

beauty of the state.

The RV rental for one month is $3,000.

Care to help out a retired Marine?


You could also buy a

copy of my book


on Kindle, Amazon Paperback, or iTunes

and that would help as well!

Autographed Copies 

are available HERE.

Don't want to buy the skull

but want to help me see my sons? 

You can donate directly 

by using my email address on Paypal.

(AlohaJoeinHawaii@Gmail.com)

Semper Fidelis!

This is a Realistic Human Skull 

used in Crystal Healing.

This skull has spent time 

with skulls that were with

the Ancient Crystal Skull Synergy.

It has also now been on the 

Big Island of Hawaii

with "Aloha Joe in Hawaii"

for the last year.

I really like the cat face 

that is peeking

out of the back of this skull

in the second picture.

The ancients revered the cat as a

gateway to the Gods.

This is your chance to own 

Very Amazing 

Crystal Skull

full of some pretty unique energy!

Aloha Makana


Happy Bidding!
