Hi all,
Some list members may be interested in reading a free chapter from my book Da Vinci in America: Unlocking the Secrets of Dan Brown's "The Solomon Key". The chapter offered is about the probable landmarks which will make an appearance in Dan Brown's much-anticipated sequel to TDVC.
You can find the chapter here: Strange Constructions
I'd enjoy discussing this topic with other forum members, as many of you are obviously quite knowledgable about Dan Brown's writing, research and methods.
Peace and Respect
Greg

Wow, lots of cool facts! Thanks!
I haven't started researching yet, since I have just got "Chainfire" (by Terry Goodkind) after a long wait, but as soon as I finish that, I plan to start checking out a few books about the Masons.
Anyways, this chapter is an impressive collection of little-known architectural facts about D.C.

Hi Sephia,
I came across this yesterday as well:
The Initiated Eye
Quote:
...an original exhibition highlighting the little-recognized contribution of Freemasons to the design and architecture of our nation's capital...series of lectures by prominent speakers who will address the Masonic Fraternity's contribution over time to the "American Experiment";
The exhibition runs from May till November - either some fortuitous timing is involved, or someone knows how to plan well! 
Peace and Respect

Hi Curious,
Well, the simple answer (and best answer for me!) would be to tell you to grab my book Da Vinci in America (Amazon US and UK). 
However, the Internet's all about sharing resources freely, so a raw summary of my investigation: Rosicrucianism, Freemasons, the peculiar beliefs of the Founding Fathers, the Masonic history of Washington D.C., the esoteric architecture of the Capitol, the Kryptos sculpture on CIA grounds, perhaps the Ku Klux Klan/Knights of the Golden Circle, perhaps the Jesuits and a number of other things besides. Try the sample chapter I list above for a taster, happy to discuss any of these topics listed in more detail if you're curious (in nature as well as name).
Hope this is of some assistance.
Peace and Respect
Greg

Hi all,
Newspapers have been reporting that the book will now not be released this year (originally they were talking June-July this year). 'The buzz' from the London Book Fair was that February 2006 was now the tentative date scheduled.

found this on the web
"Its plot is built around the murders of several current political leaders by someone with ties to the Freemasons, the secretive fraternity that included some of the Founding Fathers."

wonder if the release date has something to do with the movie ...i.e one affecting the sales of the other ?

Probably not.
I can't think of anything else to say now, so I'll just finish typing.
