Today, we meet author, Francene Stanley! We have some Q & A with her about her career and the new novel.
1. What is the title of your latest book?
Karm Currents – A grieving woman looks back, while a
charming knave completes her set of Egyptian jewellery, and together they
discover the shocking past.
2. Do you want your reader to come away from reading your
book with a strong message? If so, what is it?
I want my readers to enjoy the story on the surface, but
realize how people could have known each other in a past life; to realize the
power contained in each thought and action.
3. Would you rather take your reader to another way of
existence than share a message?
I would. I want them to step into other personalities and
learn vicariously how events connect.
4. Will your novel expand the reader's mind? If so, in what
way?
A person can drift away to another world and share in the joy
of being a kind of superwoman, albeit in the guise of an ordinary being. You
see, my heroine, Liliha, wears a ring that takes her to other situations where
she helps people in need.
5. How long have you been writing?
For nearly ten years I've written novels. Before that, I
composed songs and poems. The creative process lifts me out of everyday life
and transports me to pure enjoyment.
6. How did you learn your craft?
I wrote my first book, Still Rock Water and then searched
online for courses. I signed up for about three and learned what not to do, and
how to maximize the story's potential.
7. Where do your ideas come from?
Ideas abound, there for everyone who seeks. It's just a
matter of grasping them. The renown psychic Edgar Cayce suggested that great
departed minds exist in the Universal Consciousness, which is why many
discoveries are made at the same time here on Earth. On a lower level, I use
imagination.
8. Give the reader links to your work.
Synopsis:
Karm Currents is the fourth and final book in the paranormal Moonstone series set in the little village of St. Ives, Cornwall, England.
Apart from her telepathic sojourns of whispering advice to strangers, Liliha is an ordinary woman, separated from her teenage daughters in Australia. Her youngest daughter, Alissa, arrives to live with her, and brings her grandmother. As if that interference isn't enough, Liliha's ex turns up to take their daughter home.
Lovesick Harry steps in to help, bringing with him an ancient Egyptian necklace in the hope of compensating for the bracelet he lost. When more jewelry turns up, all seemingly connected, regressions reveal a previous relationship between Alissa, Harry, and Liliha.
