Hi Anna, I just ordered your Trilogy for my Kindle. This is a very different genre for me. What should I listen for?
Anna Faversham
Hello Alice, first let me thank you for purchasing all three books in The Dark Moon Trilogy. Your question is making me think – ouch!
You say this is a different genre; then it is probably a completely different world for you. Some of what you read is based on truth but I trust it will not sound like a history book. I hope you’ll be able to immerse yourself in this new experience and take away something that you will be pleased to have resonating in your present life.
The first book in the trilogy has a theme running through it of "We owe so much to those who hurt us". I saw this thought on a bookmark and it intrigued me. I bought it and mulled over it regularly. Could it be true? I thought of my own life and, yes, I could see how it was true. It made a huge difference to me. I could now be grateful to most of those who had hurt me because they had either given me something to work on, or they had changed my life and I had surfaced stronger. So you might listen for that message in One Dark Night.
The second book is built upon another saying: "All that it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing". This thought is usually attributed to Edmund Burke, a British Parliamentarian. In Under a Dark Star you should see, right from the very beginning, how two good men take up the fight against the wrecking of ships. Such a fight is not easy but evil must not be allowed to flourish.
One Dark Soul has the theme "Redemption". Is it available to all? Is it ever too late to be sorry? I explored the soul of the antagonist, his/her reasons (mustn’t ‘spoil’ it). It is the tale of our heroine finally finding true happiness when, as in the Garden of Eden, a serpent arrives. Life can be like that, can’t it?
I hope this helps answer your question and thank you for asking.

Anna Faversham:
Thank you, Anna, for your kind words and friendship. I did write a lovely book, The Silver Flask. Would love for you to read and critique it. I am writing another that I'll call Golden Moments. Because I cannot afford the expense involved in tooting my horn and really don't want to, should I give up writing or just continue to write for the joy of it without any intent of going to the expense of publishing?

Anna, I have never read any of your books but now I've seen what you write I will start reading one. I write seagoing books as I am a retired merchant navy captain, my book 'Steady as She Goes' is my first, and I've written an unusual crime thriller of nautical theme, 'The Atlas Murders' You might have a peep at them on Amazon and garner some ideas that might help you in your writing?
