Mysterious Reality

About the Book

The ancient hero, Achilles, unites with the great Hindu warrior, Bhisma, to preserve the Heavens against a demon invasion that threatens cosmic order. As the two spirits decide on battle plans, they try to convince the gods and goddesses to join their confederacy, but Lord Shiva has gone insane while incarnated on Earth, and Vishnu is no longer interested in human affairs. It is left to Ganesha and goddesses to ward off the intruders or flee for protection in the new universe being created. The intrigue deepens when the wind god invents a plot to ensure peace. Written in pentameter rhyming couplets, Mysterious Reality has a combination of battlefield action and thoughtful dialogue.

About the Author

I have an M.A. in English Literature and many of my courses were in Classical Studies where I learned of various myths and cultures and how ancient tales are part of modern life. On my own time I read several Hindu scriptures and epics which have deep meaning to me and were an inspiration for my story. I live in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and spend my time reading and writing.
