I wrote Gears of Uriel and Tyrian because of some important spiritual changes that happened in my life. I left organized religion, one my family had followed for generations, and began an individual spiritual journey. It’s been a great adventure, one that brings gratitude and personal fulfillment. Because it’s brought happiness, I wish to share it, but I would not be so bold as to tell anyone to follow my path, because everyone’s journey is different. And so, rather than direct anyone specifically, I chose the metaphor of an illuminated bridge, suggesting that a journey toward enlightenment could begin by crossing a boundary previously thought impassable.
And so, Gears of Uriel, Tyrian, and The Ancient Light (not written yet) are all part of the Luminous Bridges series.
Cross the luminous Bridge. Your own path is waiting on the other side.
