May is 45 years old. She has a loving husband and two young daughters. She could be someone you know.
Her symptoms begin with fatigue, swelling in her ankles and feet, and a loss of appetite—then steadily grow more alarming: shortness of breath, nausea, darkening skin, and numbness. Within a couple of years, May’s condition progresses to the point that she requires dialysis three times a week. She’s diagnosed with chronic kidney failure.
May is suffering terribly—not just from her physical pain, but from the sense that she has placed an unbearable strain on her family. She is now desperate for a solution.
A kidney transplant is possible, but only in the distant future, as the waitlist is measured in years, often two to five. It seems the torment must continue—until one day, while waiting for yet another medical appointment, she overhears a conversation between two women whispering something they keep calling “the China option.” What May learns thereafter would completely change her outlook—in a way that saves her life, but also makes her involuntarily part of a terrible, terrible crime.
The above episode is not unfounded. In fact, real stories like May’s have been playing out in America for years.
After spending two decades researching and covering China’s forced organ harvesting, Jan Jekielek, Epoch Times senior editor, has culminated his life’s work into his new book, “Killed to Order,” released on March 17. It landed on the New York Times Best Seller list: No. 8 in hardcover nonfiction.
Read May’s full story and the overwhelming evidence in “Killed to Order,” on a subject millions of Americans should know about, but do not.
An audience member at the book release event made an incisive remark:
“It began with waging a war on their ancestors. That’s what the Cultural Revolution was. Then it was a war on their posterity. That’s their children. That’s what the one-child policy was. And what is organ harvesting? It’s cannibalism. They ate their ancestors. They ate their children. And now the CCP is eating itself.”

I was born on 6 August 1956 in San Francisco, California to Janet and (the late) Richard Hovis.
I grew up in Santa Monica, California where I attended elementary, junior high school, and high school (graduating in 1974), in addition to involvement in sports and recreation (Little League +, the Boy’s Club ++). Further, it was in elementary school – St. Augustine’s By-the -Sea Parish School that I found, and made the choice to truly journey with God.
I attended Arizona State University from 1974 to 1977 – seeking to become an architect, however, I was not accepted, and, as such, I graduated with a Liberal Arts degree.
Upon graduation from Arizona State University, I attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and studied City and Regional Planning at the Master’s level. I successfully completed one (1) year in a two (2) year program – I did not complete the Master’s degree in City and Regional Planning – due to personal reasons.
I returned to Santa Monica where I started (October 1979) my career as graphic designer with Exxon Company, USA. I spent five years with Exxon Company, USA.
While working with Exxon Company, USA I was accepted into architectural school – Sci-Arc in Southern California, however, I did not attend preferring to stay with Exxon..
In 1982 I married Laura Flosi and in April 1983 we had our one and only child – Lauren Alain Hovis – a gift from God.
We moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1984 from Los Angeles, where I went to work as a graphic designer with Kitchell CEM (from 1985 -1987).
From 1987 – 1995 I was an independent contractor, and a registered representative in mortgage finance, financial management, graphic design, and drafting.
Further, I attended the University of Phoenix and successfully obtained a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) in 1982.
I was also a member of the Scottsdale Jaycees, where I became very involved in community events and projects.
In 1994, I accepted a cartography position with the Defense Mapping Agency in Reston, Virginia. As such, I relocated from Phoenix to Reston.
In 1998, I was accepted and worked as a Visual Information Officer with the Central Intelligence Agency. In 2002, I worked as a Support Officer until my retirement (due to a need for shoulder surgery) in September 2018.
Away from my Federal Government service, I have been involved in various organizations and activities in Northern Virginia.
In November of 2011, I married Rebecca Ouellette in Santa Monica, California. I reside in San Tan Valley, AZ with my two hamster - Jess and Timothy, our fish, our lizard - RJ Lizard., and our cats - Pearl and Grey.
As to hobbies, I enjoy playing sports, attending sporting events, mentoring individuals from financial management to hamsters, building models, photography, travel, multimedia design, managing partner for RJ Hamster, and jazz – smooth jazz to a samba or a bossa nova.
Love and God Bless,
Peter – aka RJ Hamster Jo hi
