Darkness and Light

Recently the second part in the Jessie Golden Earth Series, Darkness and Light, was published. This sequel to Quest to the Unknown starts five years after the devastating attack in the heroine’s (Jessie Golden) apartment. Now married to Carlos Gomez, Jessie continues her life journey, a roller coaster of unexpected feelings and utter betrayal, as well as confusing supernatural experiences revolving around the duality of darkness and light, alongside the individual stories of people who surround her. The end of the book is the unexpected answer to the question why things in part one of the series (Quest to the Unknown) were indeed not what they seemed.
“The metaphorical meaning of darkness and light is central in the book,” Annelies George, author of the series, explains. “If you closely study the main characters and their behavior, you probably understand what I’m getting at.”
During her research the author stumbled over a prophecy while attending a Munay-Ki class. This inspired her to initiate Loveable Light, a peaceful cause that aims to create a flow of more positive energy in this world by using the powerful light of love we all have within.
“All my books contain an important message,” Annelies says. “Particularly in chapter 24 I share my point of view on the mystery of life and the current state of the world, reflected in a speech that a medium gave in trance.”
This work of fiction does contain some autobiographic elements, as was the case with the first part.
“I think that each writer is inspired by events occurring in the world or in his or her own life, while the behavior and characters of those we encounter can be another source of inspiration,” she comments, not revealing where exactly in the book the autobiographical section can be found.
