Colleen Addison fears that the messages she receives from a place called
Ophia prove she’s losing her mind. As she grieves for her lost twin
sister, Earth’s civilizations, divorced from magic and wonder,
crumble.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Partition, Esperidi Mon-Sequana
discovers she’s the last surviving Sophryne, a Wakeful Dreamer cast
adrift as Ophia convulses beneath the weight of atrocities done to Her,
spilling Her anguish in fire and floods.
With naught but dreams and waking omens to guide her, Esperidi ventures
across a ravaged land where marauders are a law unto themselves, and the
Shetain priesthood demands that Ophia’s children appease the Rupture
with penance and blood.
Lost and bereaved, Colleen and Esperidi reach for hope and salvation beyond
the camouflage Veils, unsuspecting of the ties that bind them across
lifetimes and worlds…
About the Author
Throughout my life’s myriad twists and turns, one desire has always stayed
strong in me: to write epic tales that illuminate the inner world of our
souls. I write fiction that depicts the journey of self-discovery in a
dramatic and emotionally cathartic way. I’m inspired by methods of inner
exploration like dream-work and shamanism, wherein one takes an inward
plunge and then shares the fruits of that deep descent with the wider
community. That, to me, is the essence of what any art form is really
about.
I think the artistic impulse takes it for granted that the universe is
forever unfinished; we all have unique gifts that bring something to
Creation that would not otherwise ever exist.
My inspirations/influences include writers like Jane Roberts, L. Frank
Baum, Barbara Marciniak, Stephen R. Donaldson, Frank Herbert, Lewis Carroll,
Jack Kerouac, and Robert E. Howard. Though I’ve enjoyed writing in
many genres and styles, speculative fiction remains my biggest
passion.
