Regardless of your current belief, I think it is safe to assume that most of us have put some serious thought into what the Afterlife is like. There are so many questions without answers, relating to where we go when we die. What does the Afterlife look like? How many souls are there? How big is the Afterlife? Is there a society and culture? Are our pets in the Afterlife?
The great Afterlife mystery is truly baffling.
I of course, being the author of the Afterlife fantasy action book, Blue Courage, have thought about the Afterlife at great lengths, but prior to 2012 I would have considered myself someone who casually thought about it.
2012 A Year Overwhelmed with Afterlife Thoughts
2012 was a very intense year for me personally. Early in the year, out of the blue, I recieved a call from my Dad informing me that my aunt passed away. Within a week of attending my aunt's funeral my grampa passed away. It was a crazy time, and my family was overwhelmed.
In a month's period I had attended two funerals, for two family members, and as if that was not enough, within a couple of month's my Dad had learned that 90% of one of his main arteries was blocked in his heart. I was in disbelief.
After a few excruciating weeks of uncertainty, a succesful surgery, and a healthy lifestyle, my Dad is doing great today. Needless to say, I was constantly thinking about the Afterlife during this time.
What is the Afterlife Really Like?
I was surrounded by death in 2012, and my mind naturally wondered where my loved ones were. Just saying 'they were in heaven' was too vauge for me. I wanted to know what they were doing and if they were happy.
Regardless, of what the Afterlife is actually like, I found it to be cathartic to imagine different Afterlife scenarios. After several months, I collected my thoughts and started to seriously consider writing an afterlife book. I aspired for this story to have the all the answers to the many Afterlife questions, and most importantly make it an interesting scenario for all souls.
An Afterlife Book I would Like to Read
As a huge fan of action adventure stories, fantasy, romance and science fiction, I could not think of a story that has combined the elements I most appreciate in my favorite books and movies, in an Afterlife setting. I love the idea of characters with superhuman abilities, and really apreciate realistic worlds. The Afterlife is the perfect setting to have adventure, science fiction, superhuman abilities, and a believable premise that could all actually be possible.
Who is going to tell me my made up world is not true? Unless you are dead, you do not know "for sure" what the Afterlife is actually like.
A Fascinating Afterlife World
In summation I wrote a book about the Afterlife to create a world that would be amazing to "live" in, but mostly to have a fascinating place to be transported to when I write and read my Battle for the Afterlife Saga books.
