BRAVE: For the Unclaimed People
Bravery isn't something a person experiences. It is the compliment given by others, along with those that reflect courage and fearlessness. It's the subjective description, usually retrospectively, made by an observer or even a stranger. Bravery is not the experience of the individual (or group) referred to. The drive of the brave, triggered by events; experiences of seemingly insurmountable odds, is fear.
(1951 C.E. (whatever that means) —?)LORE is the name chosen, upon being released from slavery at the age of 69 years old, as not so much a name as a function. De Angeles was trafficked, as an infant, and experienced deplorable and untold abuse at the hands of the strangers, to whom she was sold, privately and for a lot of money, in the months following her birth.As a result of the apology, in 2013, by then Prime Minister of Australia Julia Gillard, de Angeles was able to set in place the process of her official recognition by both parents. She was aided in this by Ms Katrina Grace Kelly of CRIBMATES, and others mentioned in the acknowledgments, towards the beginning of this book.Unfortunately, at the time of her freedom through an Australian Supreme Court, both parents were dead. De Angeles, with the help of her colleague at www.thesignsofthetimes.com.au has, however, traced her cultural lineage. She is able, now, to provide a true and unbiased accounting to her children, and theirs.De Angeles lives with a form of synaesthesia. She sees words as literal.

She considers this anomaly to be three normal, a gift and a curse.De Angeles lives with what is termed high functioning, lifetime, complex PTSD. She is considered an overachiever. De Angeles considers that impossibile.

About the author
Lore de Angeles
14 books102 followersLore 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.
