Spiritual writing for clarity, depth, and inner truth.
Six years ago, after the three-day Sirius alignment, Anu had been invited by Nadhir to begin storyteller training.
Earth was still vivid inside her. Milkwood, the winter solstice dark, the sound of Fat Cow Creek below the falls, and Enlan’s torchlight falling across the path ahead of her as he said, “Goodbye, my love.”
She felt the pull of it clearly. She felt, just as clearly, what Nadhir was offering. She held them both, and then she turned towards Enanika, and the training began…
I hope you enjoyed Enanika (Book 1 of the Enanika Series). I have now begun writing Book 2.
A lot has happened in the space between Books 1 and 2. For one thing… six years.
Winter moved sharply through the city streets, pushing cold wind between buildings and along tram tracks. People walked quickly, shoulders raised against it, scarves pulled close, hands wrapped around takeaway coffees.
Anu walked much more slowly, her attention moving from one thing to another, trying to orient herself to a world she had not seen for six years, and even then had not been at ease with.
The city moved with the same bustling rhythm she remembered, though some of the details had changed. Some shops had disappeared. New ones had appeared in their place. Different colours and fashions in shop windows.
A tram screeched around the corner, sparks briefly flashing overhead as it curved along the tracks. Anu looked up. The sky was flat grey, heavy with the possibility of rain. She shivered. The gentle, year-round, temperate climate of Enanika seemed very far away. She didn’t have enough layers on, and her coat was no match for the cold. Her hands were tightly stuck inside her pockets.
Passing a clothing shop, she went inside to browse, but really to get warm.
“Freezing today,” the woman at the counter muttered. “And we’re only in the first month of winter.”
The last time Anu had walked these streets, she had come to the city to let Enlan know he must return for the three-day Sirius alignment.
He didn’t return to Enanika.
And after the alignment, Anu didn’t return to Earth…
The Enanika Series is visionary fiction exploring consciousness, identity, contact, and the meeting point between worlds.
Set between present-day Earth and the peaceful future world of Enanika, the series follows beings who move between realities — navigating human life while carrying memories, abilities, and perceptions that reach far beyond it.
Through relationships, spiritual tension, love, forgetting, remembrance, and the deep complexity of incarnation, the Enanika Series explores what it means to live as both human and more-than-human.
At the centre of the story is Anu, a contact caller from Enanika sent to Earth during a time of growing instability and transformation. In the rural town of Milkwood, she reconnects with Enlan, another being from her world whose immersion in Earth life has drawn him far from his original awareness.
Blending metaphysical insight with grounded human experience, the Enanika Series explores not only other worlds, but the hidden layers of this one.
When Anu woke, she stood and moved with ease. Her body, she realised, was unnoticeable — as young bodies generally are.
After several weeks of being sixty-six-year-old Anna, she had returned to thirty-three-year-old Anu during the night.
Which was just as well, because she and Enlan had decided to go back to Fat Cow Falls that day. Enlan had been feeling very Earthbound and hoped he could connect with Enanika again in the pool. The cliff would be far easier for Anu to navigate than Anna.
“Have you lost something?” Enlan asked when they met at the entrance to the falls.
Anu frowned slightly and tilted her head.
“No. I don’t think so.”
He smiled, waiting. “A few years, maybe.”
She laughed. “Oh. Yes. That. It happened overnight.”
