The end is in sight!

Writing a novel based on spiritual truths is a long journey of research, time writing, rewriting and still rewriting again.  I had no idea how intense it would be to make sure the story line flows correctly and time lines all line up.  So many little details!

Late October was the last I worked on the book until this week.  Life happens and you adjust accordingly. But I'm ready to dig in and finish.

When I start writing a new chapter I have no idea where it will go and often amazed at the turns and twists it takes.  At this point I still don't know exactly how it will end but the end is in sight.

I am including with this blog an excerpt from Chapter One:

Pouring into Gabriella’s mind was the local legend passed from generation to generation that there was a cave in this desert region called the “place of the fallen stars”.  The Bedouins called it the chambers of the abyss where the angels that fell from heaven were held in captivity until their release at the end of days…a place known in the study of mythical gods as Tartarus. 

 “Am I standing where no man should tread?  Could this be the place that mythical legends blend into reality?”  An unseen force was pulling her deeper and deeper in to the darkness.     

The entire team seemed to feel a sinister force encircling them.  Caleb broke the mysterious hold when he demanded, “Let’s get the pictures and samples we need and get out of here.”  The work was completed and the team started back out of the inner recesses of the cave’s lava tubes.  They all sensed the mystery and trepidation of their find.  They knew this was a day that would change their lives forever. 

As they exited the cave Gabriella could not shake the eerie feeling that someone or some “thing”….was watching.
