Behind the Watchers

The Omega Watchers began with one unsettling question:

What if humanity’s oldest stories were not mythology, but fragmented memories of something real?

Created by author and biblical prophecy scholar Jane E. Woodlee Hedrick, the series explores the hidden intersection of ancient history, supernatural intelligence, spiritual deception, emerging technology, and the approaching end of the age.

Today, Jane and Franchise Architect J Ryan Kersey are expanding that original vision into a broader thriller universe built around archaeological mysteries, psychological realism, hidden history, nonhuman intelligence, and the enduring struggle between truth and deception.

Originating Creative Voice

Jane E. Woodlee Hedrick

Author, Creator & Independent Biblical Prophecy Scholar

Jane E. Woodlee Hedrick is the creator and author of The Omega Watchers series and an award-winning writer of speculative Christian fiction.

Born in Harlan County, Kentucky, Jane attended Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee. She later built a career in marketing and sales management before retiring in 2012, when she began writing her first novel.

A longtime student of biblical studies, prophecy, ancient history, and spiritual warfare, Jane’s fiction explores the possibility that ancient accounts, modern institutions, extraterrestrial life, paranormal portals, and emerging technological transformations may be connected through a hidden spiritual conflict foretold in end-times prophecy.

Her novels blend biblical and extra-biblical traditions with ancient mysteries, supernatural suspense, global intrigue, and high-stakes human drama. Through her stories, Jane examines the boundaries between faith and doubt, science and spirituality, technological progress and spiritual deception.

Her work is built around a central question:

“What if humanity’s oldest accounts are not merely mythology, but fragments of a hidden reality now returning to the surface?”

Jane’s published Omega Watchers novels include:

The Omega Watchers: As It Was in the Days of Noah
The Third Strand
Daughter of Zebulon
The Fall of Mystery Babylon

As the originating creative voice behind the series, Jane established its characters, prophetic foundation, supernatural mythology, and enduring conflict between truth and deception.

J Ryan Kersey

Franchise Architect

J Ryan Kersey is a writer, intelligence analyst, strategist, and creative partner co-developing the expansion of The Omega Watchers universe with Jane E. Woodlee Hedrick.

His professional and academic background spans private intelligence and analysis, cybersecurity, information technology, business strategy, behavioral science, and mental-health counseling. This multidisciplinary perspective allows him to approach the series as both a story world and an interconnected system of characters, institutions, technologies, beliefs, and hidden motivations.

Ryan’s interests include nonhuman intelligence, UAP phenomena, intelligence operations, psychological influence, emerging technology, ancient mysteries, concealed power structures, and the ways individuals and societies respond when accepted reality begins to break down.

Within The Omega Watchers project, his work includes:

franchise architecture and long-term narrative development
expanded-edition strategy
character psychology and emotional continuity
worldbuilding and mythology development
intelligence, technology, and geopolitical research
brand identity and digital strategy
reader positioning and audience expansion
creative coordination across novels, novellas, trailers, artwork, and the official website

Together, Jane and Ryan are preserving the series’ original spiritual vision while developing it into a more cinematic, psychologically grounded, and accessible supernatural thriller universe.

“The strongest speculative fiction does not merely ask readers to believe the impossible. It gives them enough truth to wonder whether the impossible has already happened.”

Joint Development Record

A Story Reawakened

The objective was to reveal everything already waiting beneath its surface.

Jane created The Omega Watchers as a collision between biblical prophecy, ancient history, supernatural deception, and the human search for truth.

Years after the first novel was published, Jane and Ryan began a comprehensive reexamination of the series. The objective was not to replace the original story, dilute its spiritual foundation, or separate it from the convictions that inspired it.

Together, they are developing an expanded Omega Watchers universe that preserves the spiritual heartbeat of Jane’s original work while strengthening its archaeological mystery, thriller structure, character development, speculative science, intelligence elements, and emotional depth.

The expanded vision is designed to reach readers interested in:

ancient civilizations and forbidden history
archaeological and religious thrillers
UAPs and nonhuman intelligence
government secrets and covert operations
biblical prophecy and eschatology
supernatural suspense
psychology and spiritual deception
emerging technologies and humanity’s future

The mission is not to tell readers what they must think.

It is to lead them to the edge of the known world, present the evidence, open the sealed door, and ask:

“What if the greatest transformation in human history is also the greatest deception?”
