I started writing the novel 6 years ago, all the while researching the information and writing anything that I found suitable for the book on scraps of paper and note pads.

You hear many stories regarding the apocalypse or religious figures appearing before mankind and other tales (if that is what they are) which people truly believe in. The Book of Secrets is just that! A tale to believe or to enjoy as a fictitious novel. 

The war in Heaven, I remember as a child was told to me at Sunday school and have to admit how scared I was. We were even told that the fallen ones (angels) did not go to hell but were sent here on earth.

I think of these stories and how frightened I became and growing up, my thoughts turned to how the catholic church frightened people to make us believe. I was a confused child not knowing which was the truth and whether the truth was being told by someone who honestly believed in what they were telling us.

The Book of Secrets takes you through a journey back in time when the book was found and how the Knights Templars found the tome and tried to keep it away from prying eyes.

As you read, you are taken to an historical period when suddenly, you are back into the 21st century and slowly find that history is repeating itself.

Told inmain character and also hear the other side of how the tale took place. first and third person narrative, I want the reader to understand and feel the pain and joy of the 

The book does have a gay feel to it but the story is not intended to be about homosexuality. I wrote it in this way to show that gay people are as human as any other. Yes, there are some scenes in the book which people may find distasteful and I am not talking about explicit sex but discussions of homosexuality within religious orders.

To close - the book is based on some facts though I have classed it as fiction, a supernatural tale of the occult, a story of ones self being and what one must do to make themselves believe that other forms of life - apart from humans do exist.

The astonishing fact about the Iberian tribe is the way they led their life and the daily rituals they conducted each day. As most of us know, the word Pagan is used for a person who follows a belief from the village, and it is not necessarily a religion. 

This pagan tribe used to have a fire lit on a daily basis no matter what type of weather controlled the environment. They looked upon this fire, and water, not only as powerful elements, but also respected and treated them like deities.

A small table would sit near the fire, and on top of the handmade wooden structure were ritual items used to conduct their rites. The items consisted of a cup, knife, and a plate of earth. Unwanted items were tossed into the fire - in a form of thanks - and with the knife they would close the ritual and sprinkle water into the fire to unite the 2 elements.

Off course, Christianity was not known back then, and the belief of a form of religion was never something that entered one’s mind. To people, the mysteries of life remained in the power of the universe. The moon also played a part in their daily following, and the changes in its pattern from new to full moon was a magical sight. They made Holy water by leaving a jar of water outside on a full moon throughout the night. It would then be collected in the morning and used for special purposes.

The tribe lived in ranks, the higher the rank the larger the house and the bigger the altar. Each believed in their "faith", though there is uncertainty if a high priest or a person in a religious position existed within the tribe.
