Product Description
"When Paradise Died" is a controversial fantasy story intended solely for the readers entertainment. The story offers an alternative but completely fictional scenario of how life began and where "creation" is headed. Although some of the beings depicted in the story have been taken from ancient mythologies of different world cultures, their roles within the context of "When Paradise Died" is fictional. The story is my first published piece of writing, and the book day-views my first published artworks. "When Paradise Died" contains adventure, love, war, invention, destruction, and survival while it spans from the beginning of time up until the end of the world. In between, the story tells of the creation of the gods and goddesses as well as their constant struggle for dominance. The reader will encounter "temptatuous" sirens and alluring mermaids, seductive nymphs and male beings alike. On the human side, there are witches and warlords, heroes and villains, both good and evil who duel for dominance of humanity. Which came first, the butterfly or the egg? Perhaps the woman arrived before the man. Why did the mermaids seemingly vanish from the oceans? And what of the final war on Earth. Will humankind's increased knowledge elevate us to the level of the god? Or are we the gods themselves on the verge of bringing about our own damnation. Perhaps our "possible" destruction will be our salvation-- Or "was" it!

"When Paradise Died" totally intrigued me from start to finish. I couldn't put the book down. Total imagination from the author's account of the Garden of Eden, to the Great Flood, to a most spectacular "suprize" ending. This is a Harry Potter book on steroids, made for an adult imagination.

A totally origional approach to the beginning and the end of the world. The author exhibits immagination to the fullest in this bit of extreamly well written occult fiction. The story line covers it all--Witches, erotic mermaids, seductive nymphs, the battle between masculinity vs. femininity for ruler-ship of both the heavens as well as the Earth. Once I started reading "When Paradise Died", I couldn't put the book down. And what a suprise ending. I suspect that this author will go a long way.
