The real author of The Present

I have heard a rumor through the internet saying:

"L Ron Hubbard wrote something in the 1970s that was not to be released until December 21, 2012 (when the planets are in alignment) because the world would not be ready for what it contains until then. What it says is supposed to change everything. It is called The Present, and you can read it here for free: www.truthcontest.com. It makes a lot of sense, and is supposed to replace the theology of Xenu that was science fiction intended to help the organization of Scientology look more like a church and help with the tax-exempt status from the IRS. "The Present" is the real truth, the hidden theological foundation."

I've always wondered who the real author of "The Present" is. It says it is Michael Smith, but that just sounds like a pen name to me.
