When does time cease to be relevant? When a year is measured by a season?
A thousand years ago, in the middle of the twenty-first century, environmental chaos and seismic upheaval changed the face of the earth, and the people who populated it, forever. It had all been predicted.
In the red heart of what was once Australia the people of Kata Tjuta live in symbiosis with the land. Linked together telepathically through a Matrix they possess a library of extraordinary sophistication and are the hosts of some of the largest events in history.
Then another prophecy heralds a sequence of events beyond anyone’s imagining only one person’s record of events survived.
“My name is Sister Paris Crow and I don’t look like you. I look like what I am. A time sorcerer.”
When the little time sorcerer Paris Crow is given an empty book with the title GENESIS embossed in gold on its red leather cover she decides to rejuvenate the almost extinct art of writing.
What she does not realise is how far into the distant future her recording of history will go or how deeply it will impact on the inhabitants of an earth utterly unrecognisable from the viewpoint of the twenty first century.
And yet could this have happened before. To us? Could it also be that records were kept and all we had to do was know how to interpret them?
Lore de Angeles (formerly known by the first name Ly) is an internationally published author winning awards for both visionary fiction and short film.
Known for Witchcraft Theory and Practice (Llewellyn Worldwide, 2000) and the award-winning The Quickening (Llewellyn Worldwide, 2006) she was first published in 1987 by Nevill Drury's boutique imprint Unity Prism UK.
The majority of her fictional work is that of legend, philosophy and myth - both of the seeming mist-shrouded past and the so-called far-flung future.
Lore grew up by the coast in Sydney, Australia, lost amongst the rocky cliffs and wild sea.
By the age of thirty two she was mother of three and lived off the grid in the highlands of Victoria with her coven.
De Angeles' passions are the art of clear communication, history, mythology, the legends of Ireland and her Celtic heritage, debating with strong-willed, good-humored people, all the wild things and all the wild places, the sea, the mists, every possible color grey. She's infamous for her outspoken stance on matters pertaining to the sustainability and guardianship of earth and the rights of all species to self-determination.
De Angeles moved from Byron Bay to Melbourne in 2012.
