The Darien Chronicles Part 1
The idea for this book was a gift from Spirit, received back in 2002 while I was mindlessly working out on a treadmill at my gym. I felt an energy charge that brought with it an image of a little boy, stopped by a pile of indistinguishable objects that blocked his pathway, and a Wizard standing before him. I heard these three lines of dialogue:
Wizard: “What do you see?”
The boy: “Just these things blocking my way!”
Wizard: “Look deeper.”
And just above this very brief image, like a snippet from a movie, appeared a banner that read: “Objects for Reflection, A Journey into Love.” And I knew in an instant that I was to immediately begin writing this book.
I set aside another manuscript I’d been working on and began to flush out a story outline. I knew this was to be a work of fiction that was to tell a universal story about life, using this one character, Darien, along with his spirit guide, Sundeep, to tell that story in such a way that others could see aspects of themselves in it. And I was to draw upon my own personal story as a resource for the telling.
I was scared and fearful while at the same time knowing it was what Spirit wanted me to do. It took me over four years to complete the 350-page manuscript. I set it aside and took a brief sabbatical from writing. A few weeks later I picked up the manuscript to read it with fresh eyes and an open heart and mind, only to discover that the story I had been given to tell couldn’t be told in one book. As it was, it lacked detail and it lacked heart.
But I realized it could be told as a trilogy. There was a logical beginning, middle and an end, and that was the beginning of the revised title that all three books carry: “The Darien Chronicles: Objects for Reflection, A Journey into Love.” I decided to use sub-titles to distinguish the books from one another. I also realized I was ready to open my heart and allow the telling to be as honest as I could be by allowing myself to experience (and often re-experience) what was happening in the central character’s life.
This first one is subtitled “(PART ONE – IN THE BEGINNING).”

Follow him through his early adult years as a private, inner war plunges him into addiction. Witness the living of a life directed by the outside world, a life seemingly rescued from it for brief moments by a spirit guide named Sundeep, a friend, protector, and teacher that has been with Darien since before he was born. Experience, first hand, Darien’s decent as he approaches a point of no return.
