Carole Parkes asked Mary R. Woldering:

What gave you the idea for your first book?

Mary R. Woldering I was studying past life possibilities with friends when I was in college. We meditated in guided sessions and took notes or made drawings. Many eras were explored until it became like time travel. Later, I gathered notes centered in Ancient Greece and even earlier in Egypt and a story emerged. I am not sure if these were actual past lives or some sort of interesting lucid dream, but I'm certainly happy with the result of it as an endless stream of historical fantasy ideas.
