The Storytellers (Book 2 of the Enanika Series) is Here!

I’m very happy to share with you that Book 2 of the Enanika Series is now available!

Six years ago, Anu left Milkwood for the three-day Sirius alignment and didn’t come back. Enlan didn’t go with her. He chose to stay. By the time Anu returns to Earth, she has been trained as a Storyteller, someone who doesn’t just connect worlds but carries their inner life, their dreams, their felt truth, the way a crystal holds light. Meanwhile, Enlan has changed too. Will they still connect? And if so, in what way?

A weekly train trip into the city. A free trial dance class. An unearthly green stone left on a spare-room shelf. The sacred in this book shows up in the small things. It also shows up at world-scale: years that don’t match, a seven-night ceremony of monumental importance, a vision of our far future. The grand and the grounded sit side by side because both matter. Whether you choose to stay present with someone across a table or across a galaxy, it’s the same choice — asked at a different scale.

The Storytellers is a deeply human and mystical novel about what shapes us, what we carry, and the lives we choose.

Enanika Series: Combined Volume

This combined volume includes the first two books in the Enanika Series: Enanika and The Storytellers.

The Enanika Series is visionary fiction exploring consciousness, love, interworld contact, and the meeting point between realities. The series currently includes two books, Enanika and The Storytellers, with more books to come.

“The Enanika Series: Combined Volume brings together two richly imagined works of visionary fiction in a seamless exploration of consciousness, love, interworld contact, and human transformation. Donna Goddard balances intimate relationships with expansive metaphysical ideas, creating a thoughtful and distinctive series that moves confidently between the personal and the cosmic.”

The Storytellers: Galactic Neighbourhood

I have been making progress on The Storytellers (Book 2 of the Enanika Series). Here is part of Chapter 10.

The bookshop heater clicked every few minutes and the old wall clock near the philosophy shelves announced the passing of time. When the Reading Rooms breathed quietly, so did Anu. And so did Michael. 

Anu was shelving a box of donated books and a folded paper slipped from between the pages of an astronomy atlas. It fluttered to the floor like a winged prayer. She picked it up. It was a map of stars. 

Sol (Earth’s sun) lay at the centre, surrounded by star systems within 13 light-years. It wasn’t all the star systems within that range. Only some of them, making it… selective. All the more interesting.

Anu carried the map to the front counter. Michael looked up from balancing the previous month’s accounts.

“What have you found?”

She put the map down and said, “Our local stellar neighbourhood.”

Michael adjusted his glasses and studied the names:

Proxima Centauri. Alpha Centauri. Barnard’s Star. Wolf 359. Luyten 726-8. Sirius. Ross 154. Ross 248. Epsilon Eridani. 61 Cygni. Epsilon Indi. Procyon A. Tau Ceti. Kruger 60.

“I thought there were more stars than this within 13 light-years of us,” he said.

“There are.”

“Then why these?”

“These are the ones that have particular relevance to Earth,” explained Anu…

Window Shopping for Lives

Some people are forever on the verge of changing their lives. They become deeply absorbed in moving somewhere new, changing careers, travelling, taking up a new pursuit, or imagining a completely different relationship or way of living. For a while, the alternative life feels extraordinarily real. Then the interest passes and nothing changes physically.

Perhaps this is not always indecision or failure to follow through. Sometimes the immersion itself may be the experience. Consciousness can explore many possible lives without physically living all of them. We may enter fully into the energy of another reality, gain what we need from it, and then move on. The personality asks, “Did I do it?” Consciousness may be asking something quite different: “Did I experience it?”

Between the Frames

Imagine a place you love and allow it to become vivid in your mind. Then imagine that everything stops except you. A bird hangs motionless in the air, a wave pauses mid-crest, a person freezes halfway through a step. Now allow reality to begin moving again, but only one tiny movement at a time, as though you are watching a film frame by frame.

Once you can feel reality this way, begin changing things between the frames. Change the weather, the people, yourself, the possibilities, or the direction events are taking. The practice is not about forcing a particular outcome, but about loosening the sense that reality is fixed. Hold firmly to the feeling of what you prefer and lightly to the details, allowing life to organise itself in ways you may not yet have imagined.

Sleep Tracking and Beyond

I recently got a small health tracker to wear on my wrist. After the first night, it told me how long I had slept, how much time I had spent in deep, REM, and light sleep, and even gave me a sleep score. Science has many explanations for what happens during sleep: memories are consolidated, emotions processed, tissues repaired, and the brain carries out essential maintenance.

Spiritual traditions often add another possibility: that while the body rests, consciousness becomes less restricted by physical life. Dreams may include ordinary emotional processing, but they may also feel like encounters, journeys, continuing relationships, or experiences in realities beyond the waking world. My tracker can measure what my body is doing at night. What it cannot measure is where consciousness may be going.

The Missing Years

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…

Never a Lack

People often say they have a problem with lack — lack of money, time, love, opportunity, or freedom. But we are never without creative energy. We are creating all the time. The difficulty is that our conscious desires may be working against deeper beliefs about worthiness, struggle, success, money, love, or what we think we are allowed to have.

When life repeatedly produces something different from what we say we want, it can be useful to look beneath the surface. What beliefs are actually directing the experience? There is never a lack of life force or creative capacity. Don’t turn an abundance of creative energy into an experience of lack. That is like trying to breathe through a straw while standing in the vastness of open air.

Cake and Courage

When I left my first marriage at thirty-three, I had two young children, no work outside the home, and very little understanding of what a property settlement would mean. After my first meeting with a lawyer, I went downstairs to an expensive city cafe and ordered tea and cake. I remember thinking, This could be the last time I ever sit somewhere like this and order something without worrying about the cost. Then another thought came just as clearly: Nevertheless, this is still the right decision. This is still worth it.

That small moment stayed with me because courage rarely comes with certainty. Sometimes it means choosing what feels true without knowing what it will cost or how things will turn out. The tea and cake became a quiet acknowledgement of that choice: I am willing to pay whatever this costs, because not choosing it would cost me more.

Consciousness Continuing: Many Lives in One

I have long felt that I’ve lived many lifetimes inside one life. Entire worlds have closed behind me and new ones opened — different relationships, places, identities, priorities, and ways of being. Looking back, some of those periods feel less like chapters of one continuous life and more like complete realities in their own right.

Perhaps change is not always about slowly improving the same self. Sometimes we move into a different experiential world where another version of us becomes possible. Seen this way, we do not have to remain loyal to past identities simply because we once inhabited them. We are allowed to move, reconfigure, and enter a life that fits who we are now.
