Since my Eirinth Book 2 earned my first award, I wanted to post this to give more backstory for readers so they can understand there is more to this series than just basic Fantasy. I was an avid reader of C.S. Lewis with his Narnia as an eight-year-old but was inspired to write by reading THE HERO FROM OTHERWHERE by Jay Williams. My style didn’t begin until I was a teen from reading HER MAJESTY’S WIZARD by Christopher Stasheff. That was the reason why I include him and his son Edward in both book acknowledgments since Edward gave his father my Prologue to read that he gave me feedback on before I published my first Eirinth book. Imagine my joy from having my favorite Fantasy Author actually read even part of my book to give his opinion! His son Edward was the one who helped that to happen.
Eirinth is the dimension world of my creation that is directly linked to Earth, like my Tenrai Daystar is linked to Jesus Christ on Earth much the way that Lewis did with his Aslan. The difference between my Eirinth and the worlds of Lewis, Williams, and Stasheff is that mine has the added Japanese Anime fighting styles interwoven with tried and true Fantasy writing. Yes, I change point of views between ‘scenes’, but that is what makes my books, as stated by one reader on Harper Collins evaluation site before I published: “Your writing is like reading Anime!”. THAT is what helped me to keep writing Eirinth. Friends from GW (Gundam Wing) online community and Ohayo Con Anime Convention helped focus me on creating this allegoric story to reach hearts and lead them to finding faith in Jesus Christ supernaturally!
My original artist passed away in 2021, but she did over forty pictures since she began in 2009. Her work kept me writing too since she put a face to those I was writing their lives for to connect with teens and young adult readers as well as adults that need this kind of story to break through ‘religious’ barriers. My Eirinth Books are NOT FOR EVERYONE; THEY ARE FOR CERTAIN ONES! My Harvest Field is NOT the usual people that churches want. I write for forgotten ONES that regular churches don’t want in their pews until they dress differently, act differently, and accept what a church demands to be accepted. I don’t agree with someone continuing to ‘SIN’ after they accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, but I care about them BEFORE they let HIM clean them up! Churches need to DISCIPLE believers not judge!
Eirinth Fighters were developed with a specific delineation to show not only Gentile Christian believers but also Jewish Messiah believers that interconnect to make the COMPLETE FIGHTING FORCE of Eirinth to foreshadow years ago the latest present-day occurrence: Jewish Believers in Christ as Messiah and Savior working with Gentile Christian Believers to create the COMPLETE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST! I had hoped this ongoing Speculative Fantasy story would spiritually allow reality to come to pass on Earth as I made it happen in Eirinth. I had thought my story would pull in not only Gentile believers, but Anime fans, and Fantasy readers too. Lo and behold, some ‘church people’ supported me, but in other ways didn’t allow me to share the actual book for people to SEE that it was MORE than a comic book.
I ADORE the movies RED and RED 2, and they were FROM Graphic Novels (adult comic books). My novels are still NOT Graphic Novels since they only have a character picture on the first page of each chapter in color in eBook and grayscale in paperback. I do suggest getting the eBook if possible. I used to be a dyed-in-the-wool paperback reader, but I’m now an eBook Gal! I read so much I don’t have space anymore for paperbacks. I’m going to be working on both Audio-books this year too so those who can’t read or see can have that additional option to help those finally FIND MY EIRINTH! I hope everyone will listen to my songs at the link for FREE that I wrote, sing, professionally recorded, and released as EP CD “Eirinth Breaking” in 2018 that have lyrics from four of the songs used in scenes for my books.
I know many read my posts on several of my social media sites, and if so then you’ve seen me begin to call Jesus Christ Yeshua Jesus and God Almighty as Elohim and Yahweh. There is a real JEWISH JESUS BELIEVERS REVIVAL RIGHT NOW! The writings of Rabbi Jonathan Cahn have shown many Jewish people how JESUS IS YESHUA and the Messiah! Along with the writings of this Jewish Rabbi who preaches Yeshua Jesus as Savior and Messiah, and why this Yeshua Jesus Revival needs to happen in this recent opening in America with the returning of President Trump who Cahn has perceived as a present-day paradigm of Jewish King Jehu from ancient Israel paradigm leaders. I have been studying his books and still astounded by all of these biblical and historical FACTS of HISTORY and the PROPHECIES NOW!
As a Born-Again Spirit-Filled Full-Gospel Christian, I have seen how President Trump was in the Jehu paradigm in his first term, but there was something not allowing him to finish what was supposed to be then. Even without that, the Church of Jesus Christ didn’t use this ‘PAUSE’ then TO INITIATE REVIVAL! If the Church keeps missing this then we might MISS having a Revival. We are supposed to be the ‘Body of Christ that is GLORIOUS’! I don’t see ANY GLORY. How many who go to ‘church’ have really been SAVED BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB OF GOD? If a person hasn’t received HIS GIFT OF SALVATION then that person is LOST and going to an ETERNAL HELL! Yes, a Christian may sin sometimes since we’re still in human flesh, but if a person doesn’t REPENT and ACCEPT JESUS they will be LOST!
Due to two deaths I suffered in 2021 from Covid-19 taking my artist friend-sister in May, and then five months later my record-producer-musician friend-brother that I’d known from him playing piano for me to sing songs at church since I was thirteen, I was delayed in writing since I was mourning. I didn’t know if my friend-sister had accepted Jesus before she died, but I have hope since I shared my love for her and the love of Jesus from my faith with her since 2009. I did know my friend-brother has Jesus as his Savior for sure, but he had done vocals, instruments, and arrangements for my songs, and there is no one else I can find who could do what he could or be as anointed for Jesus to make my music become more like he did. I had been determined to continue the books and songs, but then I lost Mom Vada in 2024.
Satan is trying to interfere with the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ Yeshua the Messiah to keep the Revival from happening by bringing death, destruction, and devastation to the world! Mom Vada’s death was expected since she’d been fighting cancer since 2018, but we thought we would have a couple more years than we did. I know that Mom Vada is in a better place with those we love that have gone before, but I miss her so much. I got this Norwegian knitting troll doll to be a heart-link to Mom Vada since she’d crocheted, and I pat the acorn hat every time I walk by kitchen table where the troll is sitting. Ken got me the pink gnome that has a butterfly to link to Mom Vada’s best friend and my chosen ‘Aunt’ Nellie to be Mama Troll’s best friend Auntie Gnome. My imagination is God-given, so I’ll let Him heal me with my Love-pats!
The two items are NOT idols. I don’t imbue them with any spiritual power. I simply think of good memories each time I pass them, praise Jesus for knowing Mom Vada and Aunt Nellie are in His care with all Jesus-believing family and friends who have gone before to Heaven, ask Him to let my pats get to them with my love, and then feel the JOY from my knowing that I WILL SEE THEM AGAIN SOME SWEET DAY! Some people with an imagination need something that helps them focus on the memories in a way that makes them smile. Mom Vada would complain that Mama Troll is just so ugly and tell me to get something pretty for her! THAT is what makes me smile and even laugh since I can see her doing that if she was still here. That’s why I got Auntie Gnome to comfort her in my imagination. Hey, I’m a Fantasy Writer!
Mom Vada’s character ‘Belva Riverside’ was inspired by her and has so many of her quirks and qualities that she taught me over the past almost fifty-three years of my life with her. I’m just so thankful she was here to see me receive my first writing award for Eirinth. Mom Vada always supported me and Eirinth, even listening to me read BREAKING THE SHACKLES, “Rebirth of Eirinth” Series Book 1, over and over and over and over again when I would do changes for all SEVEN years I wrote it. Yes, Mom Vada was a major influence on how I told the story in both books. I think that’s why I couldn’t write again all last year. I do need to reread my two books, take new notes, and revise my outline to make sure I don’t miss the hanging sub-plots that need rewoven into the action and dialogue for resolution in Book 3 before Book 4.
Samples with Prologue through Chapter 6 for both books are FREE to READ at: https://www.eirinth.com. Online Book Club has links to different formats for the books and the reviews for them that you can read too. I have the links for these on my main Eirinth page. I hope this at least encourages readers to be curious about this Speculative Fantasy Novel Series. Book 1 has 289 pages and Book 2 has 485 pages. It’s NOT ‘religious’ in ways a secular reader might dismiss the story in general, but Seimitsu makes a statement that might come across as being judgmental in the beginning. I hope the readers understand she’s only fifteen in the beginning of this story. I ask for readers to read through Chapter 6 of Book 1 to get to layout of the real spiritual aspects as Seimitsu and her younger sister Shiri finally begin to restore the Kouken.
Even if you don’t want to accept the Bengosha as the Gentile Christian believers or the Kouken as the Jewish Messiah believers, I honestly think that many readers of HIGH FANTASY WILL LOVE THIS SERIES! Many of those beloved series from my childhood on into my mature adulthood have the Christian basis that gives those characters more than a one or two-dimensional presence to be more three-dimensional. As fourth-dimensional gifts for fighting demons in Eirinth are used, it goes on to show the supernatural fourth dimensional reality that I’ve known on Earth since I was eight years old. It’s not meant to ‘indoctrinate’ but to remove scales of disbelief to allow new life for those who will have Faith in Jesus Christ on Earth like my main characters believe in Tenrai Daystar in Eirinth to fight demons and save people.
As the next four years go on, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ needs to SEEK REVIVAL! Before the world will respond to Salvation by Jesus Christ, judgement begins in the house of God… the CHURCH! We ALL have things we need to reject from our lives, repent, and let Jesus through His Holy Spirit re-energize us for the Last Great Harvest! People’s Eternal Souls are at RISK of Eternal Damnation if they don’t accept the FREE GIFT OF SALVATION by the blood of Jesus Christ given for Every Single Soul if YOU WILL BELIEVE. I respect people have different beliefs, but their gods or goddesses are fallen angels or Nephilim spirits that are demonic in nature, and I DON’T WANT YOU TO BE LOST! This is why I keep posting all of these Op-Eds, write songs, and create stories to REACH ALL I CAN!
If Jesus believers refuse to let Revival fall on THEM then souls of those in the world will be LOST, and it will be THEIR FAULT! Those souls you were supposed to be reaching for Jesus Christ but keep compromising instead could be shown to you at the Judgement Seat of Christ when EACH INDIVIDUAL will watch the things from your life be burned in the crucible as Paul states, and only works for Grace, Love, and Salvation will remain as the gold, silver, and precious stones as rewards. I know I will have wood, hay, and stubble from my life, BUT I HAVE REPENTED! WE ALL MUST REPENT AND THEN REACH OUT TO SOULS THAT NEED JESUS AS SAVIOR! If you don’t weep for lost souls then I wonder if you KNOW JESUS AT ALL. He prays for us to thrive. It’s time we BE THE BODY OF CHRIST!
If you don’t know Jesus Christ as your Personal Savior, you can ask Him to be by believing and pray, “Heavenly Father of Creation, I come in the name of Yeshua Jesus Christ. I ask in His name for You to forgive me by my believing that He died in MY PLACE, and by my Faith in His Blood as I declare it, I am SAVED BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH! Please help me to live for You and reach others so they can know You as their God Almighty, Elohim Yahweh. Show me in the Christian Holy Bible how I can do this by the Power of the Holy Spirit with restoration to You and Gifts to be Your witness to those souls You send my way. In the name of Yeshua Jesus I pray, Amen!” You can begin with the Bible book of Romans in King James or New Living Translation then research the End Times Prophetic scriptures too. Be Blessed!
