Welcome to the official blog of Mac Tonnies.


I'm a Kansas City, Missouri-based author, blogger, Fortean researcher, and occasional speaker. For biographical detail, visit my other website.





Please address all email to macbot [at] yahoo dot com. And yes, I'm on Twitter.

(Masthead by Araqinta.)

My Books

"A stunning survey of the latest evidence for intelligent life on Mars. Mac Tonnies brings a thoughtful, balanced and highly accessible approach to one of the most fascinating enigmas of our time."

--Herbie Brennan, author of Martian Genesis and The Atlantis Enigma

"Tonnies drops all predetermined opinions about Mars, and asks us to do the same."

--Greg Bishop, author of Project Beta

"I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in the search for extra-terrestrial artifacts, and the political intrigues that invariably accompany it."

--David Jinks, author of The Monkey and the Tetrahredron

"Mac Tonnies goes where NASA fears to tread and he goes first class."

--Peter Gersten, former Director of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy

And don't miss...

(Includes my essay "The Ancients Are Watching.")

Blurbage

"Posthuman Blues is good shit. You humans might like it too."

--John Shirley, author of Crawlers and Eclipse

"Mind-stretching."

--Clifford Pickover, author of Sex, Drugs, Einstein, and Elves

". . . a grabbag of links and pithy blurbs, each a little more curious than the last."

--Feral Intelligence

"Frankly, there's nothing worse (aside from death, global famine, nuclear disaster and all-round armageddon) than seeing players in the UFO field fawning all over their peers at conferences as they seek acceptance into the ufological sand-pit by saying the 'right thing' to the 'right people.' Thankfully, there's none of that in Mac's world."

--Nick Redfern, author of Three Men Seeking Monsters

"Mac Tonnies is undeniably a bit of a weirdo. Perhaps that's why I like him so much, though I agree with nearly nothing that he writes."

--John Brownlee
