Dear Reader
The lead article in this fourth issue of CURIOUS THINGS lets you peak behind the curtain at the real and personal world that is the basis for my fiction. I hope you appreciate understanding a bit more about how my fiction is oftentimes anything but.
Also, an article for you about a real sect of Warrior Monks often used by senior Lamas as bodyguards and law enforcers. The term "Warrior Monk" is loosely used throughout the storylines of many martial-arts traditions. Learn about the real thing: The Tibetan Warrior Monks of the Dalai Lama.
Finally, a chance for you to preview the unedited manuscript of my coming novel, THE THIRD TEMPLE. Last issue you read the Prologue. Now, read Chapter One.
I hope you enjoy this issue of CURIOUS THINGS! |
BACK STORY: THE REALITY BEHIND THE WORLD OF GABE TURPIN FICTION |

One of the things I want to do through my "story telling" is allow you to see places, do things and meet people you'd never otherwise see, do, or meet. I have been blessed with a rich life experience. And becasue of that, I can accurately create exotic places and unique characters that you, too, can come to know.
In this article, you will learn a good bit about the very real world behind my fiction.

TIBETAN WARRIOR MONKS OF THE DALAI LAMA |
|
The Dalai Lama, when in the United States, is treated as a head of state and is assigned a full security team from the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security. Although talking with these secret-service types was very interesting, I found the Tibetan bodyguards of the Gelug school of warrior monks to be even more interesting.
