\"Satan\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When I read Paradise Lost<\/em>\u00a0 for the first time I was blown away by Milton’s originality to the fall of man story. I continue to be fascinated by Dante’s Inferno and concept of the underworld\u00a0 and of course, everything in Tolkien’s world.<\/p>\n

As I begin the fifth story of my nineteen story mythology, I laugh at all the movies that are soon to be released like “Batman XXII,” or “The incredibly, incredible Spiderman.”\u00a0 Appears to me that people no longer want anything original because they might be disappointed, so they stick to the unoriginal and play it safe. I read all the time where editors and publishers literally trounce certain writer’s works, yet still publish them anyway if the consuming consumers buy and demand more.<\/p>\n

Let me be frank. I publish this blog to bring attention to the stories I have written<\/span><\/a><\/span>. I am bored of the same stories rebooted with more current special effects.\u00a0 There are few stories that catch my attention these days, so I had to write my own.\u00a0 Whether anyone wants to join me in my imaginary journey is up to them. Those that have, want more, so I am now putting my writing cap on turbo.\u00a0 I want to finish this writing journey in my lifetime.<\/p>\n

My fifth story is the second story of a series of nine chronicles that supplement the epic trilogy I wrote from years 2000 to 2010.\u00a0 The readers asked me, “How did the nine heavenly worlds fall?” Being original is always on my mind.\u00a0 What have I not seen or read in my entire lifetime?\u00a0 What twists and turns can I inject to make a story attractive to the reader?\u00a0 In books four and five I explore the concepts of heroines.\u00a0 My wife, who is the initial editor of my stories has said the fourth book will touch a woman’s heart.\u00a0 She cried at the ending, which was my intent.\u00a0 She was also surprised at the originality of how I am approaching the writing of the the chronicles.<\/p>\n

To keep my own attention, each story must outperform the one before it.\u00a0 Each one must lay the ground work that effects not only the full understanding of the trilogy, but effects the subsequent stories and leaves the reader recalling something they read before. When completed, this mythology will become a series that readers will review over and over to catch the subtle hints as though they were on an exploration or a hunt – a hunt for clues and knowledge.<\/p>\n

Each one will come with new characters and plots.\u00a0 Central to the chronicles<\/em> is the exploration into the seven deadly sins or vices (evil) into the fall of nine heavenly worlds and the seven virtues (good) which apply to the heroes and heroines.\u00a0 If you didn’t know what they are, here is list:<\/p>\n

Lust (Vice) and Chastity (Virtue)<\/p>\n

Gluttony (Vice) and Temperance (Virtue)<\/p>\n

Greed (Vice) and Charity (Virtue)<\/p>\n

Sloth (Vice) and Diligence (Virtue)<\/p>\n

Wrath (Vice) and Patience (Virtue)<\/p>\n

Envy (Vice) and Kindness (Virtue)<\/p>\n

Pride (Vice) and Humility (Virtue)<\/p>\n

In other words, an exploration into humanity in a mythological setting.\u00a0 You might ask, what is original in that? The originality to the story comes to basic questions of life – why are we here and what is our purpose?\u00a0 Is life merely a test?\u00a0 What will our purpose be in the afterlife?\u00a0 Why must heroes and heroines die?\u00a0 Why must there be pain and suffering?\u00a0 Will good ever triumph over evil?\u00a0 Be prepared for thought provoking and fast paced entertaining action stories.\u00a0 Most of all this mythology covers the topics of love of people, family, the environment and of things unseen.<\/p>\n

Come join me on an original epic journey through the seven ages of Allivar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
