Synopsis

When Nora first began her research on this project, she knew the story would involve an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh as she has long been fascinated by the ancient Egyptian culture. Browsing through the New York Public Library one day, she accidentally knocked a book off the shelf, which luckily turned out to be a biography of Akhenaten. His life, at first glance, appeared so alluring that she spent the next six months researching his as well as that of his wife Nefertiti. They were both incredibly enlightened and truly many years ahead of their time, in fact Akhenaten's spiritual enlightenment was said to have influenced Moses. Akhenaten and Nefertiti were also so in love with each other that Akhenaten never took another wife or concubine, something unheard of in those days. They turned out to be the perfect characters for which Nora was able to create a wonderful fantasy. Akhenaten and Nefertiti have been reincarnating together for the past 3300 years. They have been entrusted with the mission of The Lightbearers and whose responsibility, throughout their lifetimes is to be guardians of the human race and to enlighten any whose path they cross. Through reincarnation, during each of their lifetimes, they strive to overcome violence, greed and injustice and in each lifetime, leave pockets of individuals with whom they've shared their secrets of life and death. They have, as well, been ascribed with the powers of telepathy, astral projection and psychokinesis. They are highly evolved and highly enlightened. While they can predetermine their respective genders and time in which they return, they have no clue as to their identities. In order to find each other in each lifetime they must determine a place, a time and a signal by which they can identify each other as their appearance is also different. The story unfolds in the 21st century where Jean Crystal, Nefertiti's incarnate, has been kidnapped by Dr. Natas, whose pl

Biographie de l'auteur

Nora M. Garcia, originally from New York, where she was raised and educated, now makes her home in South Florida. She shares her life with Gary Farr, a composer and enjoys a successful television broadcast career. When Nora first began her research in the New York Public Library, she knew nothing about Akhenaten or Nefertiti and it was quite by accident that she discovered them. With nothing more than an outline and her research, Nora quit her job, gave up her apartment in Manhattan and bought a ticket for Europe where she spent the better part of a year writing her first novel. After completing her novel, she returned to her career and attempted to have "The Lightbearers" printed and for many years to no avail. After consulting with a freelance editor, Henri Forget, Nora became even more resolved to have her book published. It was the first time a professional had actually read it and the feedback was nothing less than stupendous. Nora has always believed her work was good, but convincing a publisher to take a chance on an unknown author was virtually impossible until 1st Books Library came along. While Nora considers herself an artist, she feels a strong sense of social responsibility which inspires her to write projects that are not only entertaining, but also enlightening and hopefully with a positive social message as well.
