Hello Fellow Mariners
Hello fellow mariners----thank you for daring to stride up the gang-plank onto the deck of The Celestial Sea; a mystical vessel I hope you will grow to love as much as her crew. Although I have been writing copiously for 7 years this is my first attempt at writing a blog. Please bear with me and do comment or ask questions. I think the first post should be the synopsis I wrote for the entire series, {as some attempt at explaining the complexity of the story}, so here goes----I hope you enjoy it:
Pick a subject for adult readers----a subject to cause a stir; something to feed story-hungry minds. What would you choose? Romance? Adventure? Spirituality? Sensuality? Betrayal? Religious Quandary? Erotica? How about Domestic Hilarity? Live Magic would be different. A Battle between Honour, Integrity and True Love might be novel. What about Psychology? Karmic Enlightenment? Or a Mystery Wrapping an Unborn Child? That could be interesting. Forbidden Love is a good subject too; would that grab the reader?
How about a story including all the above? A story that might be true from beginning to end; a story directed by the ‘Something Other’ that makes the magic real and sails a Mystical Boat across uncharted seas?
If you are interested-----read on. Eight of the books in this unusual epic are complete. The others are recorded and part written. As the subject, I have had no pre-knowledge of the storyline’s intention; suffice to say the conclusion of the 7th book surprises the writer as much as the reader and leads naturally into the second series. All I can say is that the writing reveals a glorious----exciting----and heart-wrenching tale.
In a nutshell, this story is written as the on-going, diary narrative of an English housewife who finds herself in the beautiful land of New Zealand, stepping into the adventure of a lifetime; a fantastic adventure where she discovers a love match so potent that neither she nor her Lover can stamp out the flame that appears fanned by Angelic forces, no matter how high the barriers they either self-impose or others demand. The bond of her twenty-two-year marriage is seriously challenged as all involved come to terms with the truth that refuses to subside; the moral quandary escalating at the same pace as the undeniable joy.
The Lovers’ combined imagination and enjoyment of the written word dances the saga across the pages----pages that spiral the reader into revelatory intimacy of magical proportions, which the subjects hardly dare believe is theirs, let alone claim forever. The quality of the writing grows with the gaining intensity of the story, and with it the terrible realization that a destructive force has been unleashed----a force that requires their full armoury. The unfurling, personal voyages,{ both negative and positive}, are reflected in the ensuing chapters, moving from straightforward prose to more complex content as the central characters play out their destiny journeys on what is to become a spiritual battlefield.
Across oceans and family ties, disgrace and unashamed truth the struggle between moral law and joy gains pace until those involved are reduced to a combination of despair, denial and heartbreak. Where is the karmic battle headed? There are more than two caught up in this unusual saga. Each of the Books has its own synopsis. I won’t say more----the intrigue and spiritual passion cannot be conveyed without reading the whole.
