Synopsis/Details
THE ANUK CHRONICLES is cinematic splendor, paying homage to Frank Herbert and Stephen Spielberg, telling a profoundly human story drenched in an awe-inspiring universe. It is a science fiction/fantasy series about the elite class of Anuk from the stars, and the last family to rule the Earth. This is an epic in the vein of DUNE, with the cinematic appeal of BLADE RUNNER. It draws on existing myths and religion to present a plausible history of when the gods were human. The arrogance of every Lannister child in Game of Thrones... the contempt Lucifer Morningstar has for, well everything in The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina... The stifling heartbreak Conner McLeod feels when Heather dies in Highlander... the desperate plunge Paul Atreides takes into prophecy in Dune... We begin as King SHURU ENLIL announces his sole heir, the free-spirited and spoiled Princess PERSEPHONE ENLIL, will soon be engaged and on the road to inherit the responsibilities of the monarch. This does not sit well with the shocked and reluctant Persephone, or Shuru’s nephew, VALI ENLIL, who stands to lose his wealth and status. Vali allies himself with the powerful crime boss, Princess OCTAVIA ENKI. Together they unleash DASHE THE CONDEMNED on Persephone, and unknowingly wake an ancient power within her – a terrible scourge on life not seen since the first purge of the planet. In-between scheming to avoid marriage and her forbidden romance with Octavia’s nephew, OSIRIS ENKI, Persephone seeks answers from OLD-MODIR - an ancient one with a hidden agenda. There is power in Persephone’s blood, and Vali wants it, he needs it, he gets it. After a coup kills the king, Vali experiments with Persephone’s blood and creates a military force to invade the Holy City in Rekkam. The Holy City is a world-ending weapons store – with it Vali will gain control of a mighty interstellar ship in orbit, and afterward secure his rule of the planet. Without resources or allies, Persephone seeks help from the Adamu – the children of man. With the aid of Osiris and her Watcher SAMIRI, she galvanizes the former slaves to help stop Vali. At the same time, she fights prophecy and her growing nature to become the “Jagaren av Valdar” – the Destroyer of Worlds. The unthinkable happens; Vali secures the interstellar ship and leaves Persephone at death’s door. One course remains for her – embrace destiny and become “The Destroyer of Worlds.” Before the final battle cry, our characters will plunge into an abyss of turmoil and despair. The villains are dispatched, but the choking reality of things demand one solution – humanity’s end. Persephone outsmarts destiny, and saves a small population before unleashing her devastation – geologists identify this period as circa 14,000 BCE. In the spirit of Horus, Moses, and Superman, Persephone secures her heir to wake 3,000 years in the future – the time when Atlantis reigns supreme.

I was born to a family with secrets and cover-ups, the likes of which would make the Ewings of Lorimar Productions DALLAS blush - I digress. A pregnant woman bolts out of a city building one Saturday night to fling herself into thick traffic. You see, sinister voices insisted she kill her unborn. On Sunday, much to everyone’s surprise, WE survived. Armed with family secrets, a violent birth-mother, and the freedom of imagination, I began writing stories to escape the horrors of my life. As a child, the stories whispered during sessions of my family’s “Adults only conspiracy club” fascinated me. As a grown-up, science, history, religion, and the isolation of long military deployments,… Go to bio
