Book I

The Sylph’s Tale

A magical tale of discovery and love. 

Fantasy/Mythology-16,180 thousand words.

Synopsis: In pre-historical times, a young girl escapes from a barbarian ritual, only to encounter an angel who rescues her. This mystical being falls in love with her and, together, they modify the culture and habits of her rudimentary society. A story of love, discovery, and magic.

Note: The Sylph's Tale was published from a draft and is missing text and six chapters. Amazon and D2D  are willing to give free copies of the complete version when published. I am incredibly grateful for those who liked it and thank readers on Amazon for their comments!

Comments by editors:"This has imagination and touches on the mythic and spiritual in ways that are not typical.""The Sylph's Tale made for a most unusual read. The choice to format the story more as a series of vignettes from a creation myth. Fallen angels appear in many stories, but it's far less common to see through the angels' own eyes.""The love between a girl from prehistoric days and Ayekah was beautifully told. Although this book was too religious to my liking, I believe that the next books will probably be more paranormal than biblical."

The screenplay version, The Sylph's Tale/Ayekah The Damned, won third place on ISA, for more information and comments please go to From Paper To Screen: https://www.martacweeks.com/p/screenplays.html

Mythology and Historical References: Ayekah The Damned is loosely based in the history and myth of ancient people in north and Mesoamerica; their Rites, Sacred Spaces, Underworld and Stone Tablets. His name is akin to Genesis 3:9. When after Adam and Eve eat from the forbidden tree, God asked Adam, "where are you” or "ayeka" in Hebrew. Also, Samael's fallen angel as the "watchers, holy ones" and they "fell" after they became "enamored" with human women."

 Haya the virgin is akin to Samael's counterpart Lilith who seduces angels. Haya can mean "to live or 'have life," or "to give" or "restore life"; (Genesis 25:6, Joshua 3:10), lively (2 Samuel 23:20), and reviving (Genesis 18:10, 2 Kings 4:16).

The seduction: Is akin to Nashiym, the Lilim, who seduced the watchers. Samael's counterpart and a mother of demons seen seducing the fallen angels as Naamah; after the fall, they had daughters: "Wholly new in the Kabbalistic concept of Lilith is her appearance as the permanent partner of Samael, queen of the realm of the forces of evil (the Sitra Ahra)."

After seducing the fallen angels as Naamah; they had daughters:

Synopsis: The saga of mystery and otherworld powers continues after generation of female twins are born from Haya’s fetus. One is fertile and gives birth to twins; the other is the watcher and guide.

Like moss on a stone of destiny, the women overcome terrifying ordeals. Beautiful and haunting, endowed with a sixth sense, they rebel but cannot deny that their otherworldly encounters are beyond their control.
