About On Wings Of Immortals - the trilogy

Although each book of On Wings Of Immortals - the trilogy: Ayekah The Damned, Virgins, and Maculatum are fiction, the author has based much of the accounts on current research regarding religion, mysticism, geography, history, and theology. Also, some ancient myths evolved from beliefs, such as that mermaids developed from water, sylphs from the air, gnomes from the earth, and salamanders from spirits. 
Even in modern times, some scientists speak of humans as having an elemental spirit called "natural tectonics," which includes forces cracking the planet's crust with earthquakes and volcanos. 
In the ancient "Paracelsian concept," elementals are "beings" that live longer than humans, and by marrying a mortal, their elemental and its offspring could gain a soul. 
In mythology, ancient history, and The Old Testament, the most common way to understand these elemental spirits is as angels.

Possible cover page for Ayekah The Damned

Books, movies, or authors Ayekah The Damned might resemble. 

I say Ayekah The Damned is like many films and or book series I love: Quirky like Mozart - the film, - Historical like the Clan Of The Cave Bears series by Jean Auel - Erotic like The Handmaid's Tale books and film - Mysterious like the Vampire series by Anne Rice - and Spiritual like Paolo Coelho - tales.

Ayekah The Damned - book one of my Wings Of Immortals series - is loosely based on historical facts starting at human creation and contains some adult content.

From Then To Now.

T. S. Eliot once wrote, "Good writers borrow, great writers steal." 

Since early childhood, bedridden with polio, I looked forward to getting a new book and made-up stories about damsels who overcame their distress. 

Once with braces, I hobbled up to the attic of my grandparents' store, where I read amid shelves filled with books in semi-darkness, sitting by a small barred window under a light bulb strung from the ceiling.

As I recovered and was in water therapy, I paddled with delight, hanging on to the pool's edge, and with my legs and back free from braces, I floated, dreaming I was dancing. 

In high school, I learned about cruelty and bad people. From part-time work saved for dancing and modeling classes, I was a fashion model when I got my first dancing contract, and later, in  Chicago, I met Victor, a construction foreman and poet. 

Married and with children, I was a stay-at-home mom, taking college classes, when in the 80s economic crisis, our family lost everything. We started to recoup when Vic went into computer programming, and I, while hosting a T.V. show (for free), earned my counseling degree and was hired by State and County government services.

 We relocated for me to accept a promotion to Research Analyst when, a couple of years later, Vic passed away after a triple bypass. A year later, unable to stay where we were with just my salary, I accepted a promotion and moved. 

In time, even though I thought I could never fall in love again until I met and married John. Now, both retired, we live in the foothills of Northern California. I started to write, and The Sylph's Tale, my first screenplay, won a third-place ISA award. Some of my poems have been finalists, such as at the San Francisco 2012 Writers' Conference. Also, I was writing for Examiner.com and CBS Sacramento until I began VIRGINS, now the third book of my On Wings Of Immortals.

P.S. I agree with Eliot; my series On Wings Of Immortals is inspired by favorite authors such as Auel, Mitchener, Castaneda, Rice, King, Kostova, Coelho, and Poe.
