Rumors of Vampires (English Edition) 29-nov-2017

2,99 € 11,35 €

THE MUSE'S TWISTED KISS
An Introduction to "Rumors of Vampires"

Poetry is a language unto itself. At best, I am a dabbler and a babbler at the edge of the pond, mainly interested in capturing a moment the same way a photographer might capture a fleeting image otherwise lost to the ages.

I'm okay with that - this sense that we are incredible yet insignificant beings moving through some inexplicable milieu of experience and emotion, longing and loss, love and grief. And yet, at the same time I'm not okay with it at all - for it is human nature to crave that which remains out of reach.

It is human nature to chase the muse that whispers midnight promises of eternity, but delivers cemeteries and funeral processions when the sun rises on another mundane day. It is human nature to want to live forever, even (and perhaps especially) if that promise were to be delivered in the form of an erotic if twisted kiss of eternal damnation and eternal salvation all wrapped up together in a vampire's embrace.

The vampire has been a mysterious and recurring icon in our human imaginings for as far back as anyone can determine. Some say it's only a myth. Others insist all myths have some basis in reality. A rare few of us choose to believe in vampires and faeries and alien visitors above and beyond any dull human-spawned deity. And such is the language of poetry - a way to explore our darkest fantasies and most forbidden desires without automatically being consigned to the psychiatrist's lumpy couch.

Some would say I suffer from depression. I would argue that I suffer from clarity, but also from the dark but beneficial curse of allowing myself to believe there is more to this world than we have been programmed to believe. It's not just what I want to believe. It's what I have to believe, or run the high risk of becoming just one more cog in the grinding machine that digests our imagination and craps it all out as rhetoric, pabulum and dogma. On the day I become that, I will shut down the computer and throw away my writing quill forever.

My muse sends notes from time to time, telling me he's off in India or Australia or on the red sands of Mars, always harvesting words and moments like grapes plucked to create the best wine. I am trying to believe him, but as all writers know, muses are fickle fuckers who have their own agendas.

For now, I hope you will enjoy Rumors of Vampires, and that it will bring you some measure of entertainment, a chill or two, or - if I've done my job - a stray thought to chase through the candlelit cathedral at the edge of Vampyreland.

Kiss of the Black Angel explores one man’s grief as it plunges him into the realm of the vampire. Here, Stefan encounters Miquel, who is destined to become his maker. But the price of immortality is high and the vampire warns, “Through my blood you will learn a secret which will compel you to live forever, yet a secret so profane it will haunt you for all eternity."

_____________________

Kiss of the Black Angel was originally published in the prestigious TOMORROW MAGAZINE. It was released as a limited print first edition in 1997, as Ragged Angels. There is now a novel-length version of this book entitled Sons of Neverland.

"The virtuosity shown here is only the beginning of a pyrotechnic talent unfolding into the hidden dimensions of the human and nonhuman spirit." -Jacqueline Lichtenberg
___________

"Sensual! Sexy! Surreal!"
-North County Times
____________

"A literary triumph where the undead have more heart & soul than the living."
-The Readers

Della Van Hise is the author of the controversial STAR TREK novel, KILLING TIME. Kiss of the Black Angel is offered free on Kindle - and we hope you will enjoy it enough to want to know what happens next, in the full-length novel, SONS OF NEVERLAND.

________________

One Reviewer said... "What Sons of Neverland resembled to me was the creative hagiographies of Nikos Kazantzakis, where a few stylized characters deliver a message that goes way beyond the parameter of the characters themselves. And much like Kazantzakis, this book zones on the question of immortality. However, this is not just the decadent historical immortality of the long-lived vampire, it is immortality as a change in one's perception. This is the story behind the story, delivered by characters that are hyper-real - each one loaded with symbolism. Sons of Neverland will have you filled, even brimming over with the sense of Mysterium Tremendum et Fascinans. Go there for a full helping of the numinous."
____________________

Set against a backdrop of contemporary culture, SONS OF NEVERLAND explores the universal questions of life & death, sex & love - the most crucial challenges every human being faces - through the eyes of the immortal vampire.
_______________

We hope you will give SONS OF NEVERLAND the opportunity to not only entertain you with its erotic and sensual descriptions, but to also challenge YOUR mind in the way any controversial work of "fiction" may well be a mildly disguised look at the absurd reality in which we all live... Readers have compared SONS OF NEVERLAND to the works of Anne Rice, Carlos Castaneda, and Anais Nin.

da Della Van Hise

( 10 )

2,99 € 16,49 €

Set against a backdrop of contemporary culture, Sons of Neverland explores the universal questions of love, sex and death - the three most crucial challenges every human being must face. Stefan London is a grieving man, suffering through the loss of his young daughter. When he goes to a science fiction convention in the hopes of meeting her friends, he encounters instead a young man who is dangerously seductive and undeniably magical. Lured into the night by Dimitri, Stefan soon discovers himself in a world where vampires are real, and the world is not at all what he has always believed, and immortality is only a deep red kiss away.

But the price of eternal life is high, and as his handsome maker warns, "Through my blood you will learn a secret which will compel you to live forever, yet a secret so sinister it will haunt you for that same eternity."

The secret will haunt you, too.

Another reviewer commented: "Sons of Neverland" challenges what we believe and brings the reader face to face with the possibility that absolutely nothing we have been told by teachers, peers and priests holds a single gram of truth. The book is told in the poetic voice of myth, from the perspective of a man devastated by grief. As the story unfolds, Stefan's faith in gods and goodness is not only tested, but destroyed - leaving him obliterated, but simultaneously free for the first time in his life..."

Readers have compared Sons of Neverland to the works of Anne Rice, Carlos Castaneda, and Anais Nin.

Coyote (English Edition) 2-lug-2013

da Della Van Hise

2,99 € 13,20 €

A Novel of Love, Honor & Personal Sacrifice...

When River Willows is accused of a murder she didn't commit, her life takes a turn toward the sanctuary of a world existing at right-angles to our own. Combining the mysticism of martial arts and the romantic conflict of a young woman torn between two powerful men, COYOTE takes the reader on an epic journey of dangerous secrets, military cover-ups, and the infinite heart of the peaceful warrior.
_____________

"So who's Coyote?" I asked, trying to ignore the effect he was having on me. "You?"

Steale laughed easily, though it did little to hide the torment behind that mask of indifference he wore so well.

"Coyote's a scavenger, Jack of all trades. The Native Americans call him the trickster - the one who brought chaos down on the world." He shrugged as if altogether unconcerned. "Original sin, I guess."

"Is that what you are?" I asked, keeping it light despite the growing knot in the pit of my stomach.

He kept his profile to me, eyes straight ahead as he drove. "Sure you want to know?"

I couldn't help wondering if I had cornered the coyote, or if the clever trickster had cornered me.

Enlighten YOURSELF! The Art of Silent Knowing (Quantum Shaman Workshops) (English Edition) 18-mar-2013

da Della Van Hise

( 6 )

4,66 €

Establishing a permanent link to the state of silent knowing (gnosis) is perhaps the greatest thing anyone can accomplish, for it is through that link that the seeker finds herself having a one-on-one conversation with the Infinite. Call it god or goddess, call it the double or the higher self... however you see it, it is through silent knowing that you truly gain the power to Enlighten yourself in ways no earthly teacher ever could.

What is silent knowing? Simply put, it is learning to ask questions of that vast sentience which is the universe, the All, and simply the Self. If we are wise, we learn how to listen to the answers which come back to us. That is the art of silent knowing, the garden of gnosis.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WORKSHOP PREVIEW
A sneak preview of one of the many exercises
for exploring the art of silent knowing.

This initial exercise is fundamental and absolutely simple. It can even be fun. But be warned: as you begin to dismantle what you believe, you will come face to face with the realization that actual knowledge is only available through direct personal experience. Do you believe Borneo exists? Probably you do, but can you say with certainty based solely on your personal experience? What about elves? Do you believe in elves? Probably not. But can you be sure elves don’t exist? Do you believe, as most humans do, that all things die? Probably you do. But can you allow for the possibility that there are things you simply do not and perhaps cannot know? Is it not possible that immortals walk among us and pass for human, but because we are conditioned to believe that isn’t true, we live our lives as if what we believe is Absolute Truth? And if we already believe something isn’t real, do we have any motivation to explore beyond the limitations of the belief itself?

For as long as man accepted that the earth was flat, the earth was flat, at least to the perceptions of those who believed it. For as long as it was generally believed that man cannot fly, man didn’t fly.

And yet… everything begins with a thought. Everything begins with questioning those common beliefs until the warrior, like the Wright brothers, begins to create his own reality and expand his awareness beyond the confines of the existing consensus.

da Della Van Hise

( 13 )

4,67 €

A Quantum Shaman™ Workshop

This is a power-packed exploration of what it really means to make contact with your higher self - aka the Other, the shaman's double, the dreaming body. Nitty-gritty how-to, including lots of exercises to motivate and validate your efforts. For seekers who are ready to turn and face themselves in the mirror of the Infinite, there is no better starting point than right here, and there is no one on Earth more qualified to present this workshop than Della, whose interactions with her own double have led her to fulfill her destiny as a nagual woman and teacher.

________________

WORKSHOP PREVIEW
A sneak preview of just one of many exercises designed to bring you into direct contact with your higher self.

"You are the source of the higher self."

Set aside 30 minutes minimum for this phase of the exercise. Look at the sentence directly above – “You are the source of the higher self” – and note any reactions you may have in response. Do you agree or disagree? If you disagree, upon what do you base your disagreement? Simply look at the statement for what it is and pay close attention to your reactions. For at least 30 minutes, consider any belief systems you may have which crop up as a result.

The purpose of this exercise is to identify any lingering programs that may be standing in the way of your own evolution. Many times in working with warriors even at advanced levels, I have discovered that there are strong programs in effect which may try to convince us that this mortal lifetime is nothing more than a virtual reality program running for our amusement. I’ve had good warriors try to argue that we are all already perfect, or that no matter what we do, the spirit walks away unscathed at the end.

If you find yourself operating under any such belief system, or if you experienced any sense of anger or otherwise strong disagreement to the statement, ask yourself one question: "What if I am wrong?"

Opening the mind begins with opening the heart.

Creating the Double is a workshop made possible by www.quantumshaman.com

All Quantum Shaman workshops are designed for the solitary practitioner - work at your own pace in your own space. No group participation required, though an online Facebook group is provided for your convenience should you want to interact with the author and others on parallel journeys.

Undoing the Programs: Unlocking Your Infinite Potential (Quantum Shaman Workshops) (English Edition) 20-feb-2013

da Della Van Hise

( 5 )

4,69 €

An intensive workshop for seekers at all levels - the secret key to achieving prosperity, worldly success, spiritual advancement, and most of all unconditional love.

This workshop gives you the tools for getting rid of the programs and belief systems that keep you from achieving your greatest success in this world, and may actually be preventing you from embracing your highest potential in the realm of Spirit as well. If you are feeling frustrated with your progress in life or on your path, chances are you are battling internal programs of which you may not even be aware!

What are programs? They are ideas in which we have placed belief to such a degree that we live our lives as if the program is real, when it may only be a belief system put onto us for so long that we can no longer see where the programs end and the Whole Self begins.

"As long as a man truly believes he is powerless, he has no reason or motivation to seek the source of his own power." (Orlando)

This workshop offers you the tools of clarity and increased awareness on all levels - from your own thoughts and ideas, to the larger programs running the world in which we live. Those who have taken this workshop in the past have said that it taught them how to get out of their own way so that the power of their Intent could finally begin to manifest.

Don't miss this life-altering opportunity!

________________

WORKSHOP PREVIEW
Shifting the assemblage point of our programs...

As you go through your day observing one of your programs, begin asking yourself how you would live or behave or simply be different if you did not believe, for example, that “what goes around comes around.” What if you did not believe in karma or reincarnation? What if you did not believe that marriage should only be between a man and a woman? How would it affect you personally? How would your life be different if you let go of just one of your belief systems?

The purpose of asking these questions is that the questions themselves are actually the groundwork of the new foundation which begins replacing the old programs as the warrior begins actively participating in her own evolution. Without asking those questions, without testing the waters of a new paradigm, we exist almost wholly within the programs which run in the background, usually by default. We believe something because we perceive that we have always believed it, and often we even accept it as Truth when there is little or no evidence to support it whatsoever.

What we believe about reality
has nothing to do with reality itself.
