As the world is holding its breath and tries to survive this horrible Corona crisis, it has become important for many people to keep a daily rhythm and grow sufficient discipline to cope with the change of lifestyle. I have taken the time to finish my new book, which will hopefully be published any time now and made available on Amazon. In April and May, the new show on History Channel, "The Lost Relics of the Knights Templar", will be aired. The first episode premiered in the UK on 13th and will be aired in Scandinavia, Holland, Belgium and Ireland a few days later. As you may already know, I am also in it, in episode 4, mountaingoating the two British gentlemen through the rocky mountains of the Sabarthès to the caves of Ornolac.
Episode 4 was shot in September 2019. On the right-hand side you can see me with Hamilton and Carl posing in the Bethlehem Cave, where Otto Rahn often came, also to meditate.
But, first things first: my new book.
The third and last book of the Time Travel Trilogy is now ready for publication. The Kindle version will be out first for a very low price as a gift to my readers, for at this moment we are all going through harsh times. It is important to take one's mind off and read more books. I have spent a long time researching the subject before I was ready to write the story. Therefore, many historical facts have been used throughout the book, facts that might change your mind about European history and consequently that of the entire western world.
I would like to share some of the reviews I received from various people after reading the manuscript.
"This one is a delightful mix of past and present, along with real and imagined. It’s a story that demonstrates, all so clearly, what I have said for a long time. History matters." ~ New York Times bestselling author Steve Berry
"Jeanne D’Août skillfully weaves a tasty tale of suspense and esoteric intrigue. Time travel - and its consequences, ancient Celts, Atlantis, and the legendary relic hunter Otto Rahn; it’s all here, served up with a sumptuous measure of veiled historical truths. Some say truth may be stranger than fiction, but what if the so-called fiction is actually true? Fans of Dan Brown, and enthusiasts of historical mysteries, strap yourself in and enjoy the ride." ~ Andrew Gough, writer and television history and mystery show presenter
"A magnificent story – but even more than a story, for it contains a theory of world history that is both intriguing and enlightening. Jeanne D’Août is no less a thinker than a storyteller. Her tale has us winging through history and geography, and takes a lot of putting down once you start it. This third volume unfolds a new set of adventures around time travel, but has a serious message. As we swing between the ancient world and present-day Switzerland, an extraordinary myth comes to life. We and our past have the deepest reverberations and connections, and knowing the past can heal us." ~ Dr Colum Hayward, Polaire Publishing
"It is a great tale - intriguing and provocative. It delves deep into human relationships, the history that underlies Western perspective and provides a way that technology will change our experience and our view of our existence. It is like going through a door into a hidden room where secrets are uncovered but where the real secrets are held in another room, beyond the first." ~ Greg Rigby, author of ‘The God Secret’ and ‘On Earth as it is in Heaven’
As soon as the book is available on Amazon, I will enter the direct link to the Kindle version here.
THE LOST RELICS OF THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR
It all started last Summer, when I was asked to be one of the experts in a new show about the Templars; a show that would be aired on History Channel. Of course I said yes. Every opportunity I have to promote this amazing corner of the world where I live, I will take. Occitania, also known as 'Cathar Country', is a region in the south of France, a place with forgotten history and unsolved mysteries. Much needs to be shared to fully comprehend elements of our common history that have been hidden or erased by the victors.
Hamilton and Carl are trying to find out in this new series what the Templars were all about. Having found a Templar hoard, Hamilton hopes to find out what these objects mean, what they were used for, and to better understand this mysterious Knights of Christ, who fought 800 years ago in the Crusades to secure Jerusalem and its access for the Christian world. This mysterious Order has made today's scholars wonder what they stood for, because they were different from the other Crusaders. They had their own agenda, and within a few decades they became the richest Order in Christianity. It is obvious that they wanted more than just Jerusalem. They may have wanted to create a whole new world order.

I will be available for interviews on radio shows and pod casts, and for web articles and written interviews. Contact me directly at books@jeannedaout.com with your request.
From Occitania, with love. ♥
