Continuing my series about these books.

The Eoss trilogy crosses over the traditional boundaries of literary genres, just as a lot of modern novels do.

Platara Mountain has something in common with science fiction as it features a parallel world to the Earth. Time is slightly different there, and there are human inhabitants who are still at the stone age stage of development. It also has elements of young adult fiction, as the main character is a teenaged girl who is leaving school and starting out in life.

Mount Clexa is based extensively on dreams from my dream journal, and also features elements from Aleister Crowley’s visions. Silver Manes is founded on psychic Insights about myths and archetypes which I have had over a period of many years, especially when I recognise synchronicity in fiction books, films and television series. These are typical elements of visionary fiction (although the whole trilogy comes into this category.)

The new prequel Heather of Heather Bay is very much about chaos magic. There is chess symbolism linked with it, and this is something I encountered in the chaos magic group DKMU who use motifs from Alice Through the Looking Glass. I didn’t copy their chess symbolism; it inspired me to construct my own. Most of the characters in the story are non-human entities which gives it an affinity with myths and fairy tales like the Alice narratives.
