Volume One 'Morning Stars'
What happens when an Angel dares to question the status quo? What happens when an angel, perhaps destined for glory, decides to do things 'HIS' way, as opposed to the sound wisdom of the Torah and the knowledge of the Holy One on High? 'Saruviel' is such an angel. 'Morning Stars' is the beginning of the 'Realm of Eternity' and Archangel Michael is the firstborn Seraphim Angel of this Realm. But when the seventh-born male Seraphim Angel, dread Lord Saruviel is born, only trouble can follow. After eating the 'forbidden fruit' Saruviel begins a journey which will lead him to host the rebellion against the established ways of the Realm of Eternity, all in the name of 'Freedom'. Telling a variant of the traditional tale of Satan's rebellion, Saruviel must 'Follow His Destiny' to find just what makes the heart of freedom such a challenging temptation and such a responsibility. This volume introduces us to the 'Realm of Eternity' which is the setting place for the majority of the action throughout the planned future history of the 'Chronicles of the Children of Destiny' universe.

Volume Two 'Ecclesia'
The sequel to 'Morning Stars', the ecclesia themselves are never named, and not even really talked about as a particular group, but they are the stars of this continuation of the storyline introduced in 'Morning Stars'. The pivotal storyline is the love triangle between 'Ambriel' and 'Meludiel' and 'Daniel', ending in a most happy way for one particular angel. A novel which brings the lighter side of life to the Realm of Eternity, after the heavier focus on Saruviel in the first novel. AUTHOR's NOTE: Morning Stars was the first novel I finished writing in my life, and was written with an intention of being quite holy and up to a high standard which people fussy on spiritual issues can appreciate. Ecclesia, alternatively, was meant to introduce concepts of humour and sarcasm and other perhaps racy subjects for a broader audience and a more mainstream approach. Volumes 2, 3 & 4 are much more similar in this respect, and flow together well as I see it.

Volume Three 'Rebellion'
The sequel to 'Ecclesia', Rebellion is a logical continuation again, with 'Gloryel' and 'Sariel' being the major stars of this work. Of course, the 'Battle for Zaphon' is a triumph for one particular angel of marked ego, but is written with good humour and obvious charm. 'Rebellion' asks the question, who indeed serves God, and which angels are doing just that - 'Rebelling' against the authority of God. For those who liked Volume One and Two, Volume Three is no great surprise. AUTHOR's NOTE: Rebellion was written just after Ecclesia and did not take long to write. It feels very similar to elements of Ecclesia to me, so if you enjoyed volume 2 you will most probably enjoy volume 3 and 4. Later on in Volume 11 'Anthology' we return to some stories in the Realm of Eternity, particularly the 'Life in Zaphon' story, which serves well as a prequel storyline to 'Morning Stars II', which also flows quite nicely into 'Lazy Days'.

Volume Four 'Tales of Eternity'
In a sense, a conclusion to the initial 'Realm of Eternity' storylines, before Volume Fives sends many of the angels into their human incarnations on earth. Eternity is a simple continuation of the past three volumes, answering a number of questions, and concluding with the 'Wedding of Eternity'. Thereafter are a series of short stories to embellish knowledge of particular angels of the Realm of Eternity. AUTHOR's NOTE: The novella in this volume titled 'Eternity' is a logical continuation from volume 2 and 3, and feels quite similar to these works. It is also a little more serious than volume 2 and 3 and has a bit more of the drama of Morning Stars associated with it - perhaps. In 'Morning Stars' I was learning all about the Chronicles of the Children of Destiny universe, and still am, not having figured it out completely. But with experience hopefully the tales will grow in both entertainment value and genuine interest value by the general public as well as the Noahide community.

Volume Five 'Terra Chronicles'
The beginnings of the human manifestations unfold in a series of different tales featuring many of the angels introduced in the saga so far. This volume is the history from the creation of the Earth of the Physical Universe, and traces the manifestation in human form of a number of the angels in their human sojourn. Such angels as Saruviel of Eternity and Samael of Infinity are featured, as well as tales about Davriel of Eternity, James child of Heaven, Kimborel of Eternity, Gamrayel of Eternity and a number more. AUTHOR's NOTE: This volume is an eclectic volume of tales, practically an anthology of different angel tales, but fits into the 'Terra' sequence of storyline, culminating in 'Judgement Day' (Volume 10).

Volume Six 'Pure and Honest Love'
A Series of Novellas featuring 'Samael' of Infinity in his time on earth, with his love affair for the Daughter of Eve, fair of heart and beauty 'Rachel'. Aphrayel's heart is 'Torn Asunder' in Terra Chronicles II, being the main star of that anthology collection, and then a shorter focus on other characters. AUTHOR's NOTE: 'Ye Olde Devil' and 'Rachael Daughter of Eve' of this volume have been published in paperback format. I own a number of copies of each, but only the Rachael volume currently is for sale. 'Ye Olde Devil' was originally written in just 2 days and was meant to be a separate short story, simply for my own entertainment, about an alternative angel universe after the 'Morning Stars' universe had been created. But it turned out so well that I tweaked it a little and invented the 'Realm of Infinity' concept and combined the universe with the 'Morning Stars' universe to create the various 'Realms' of the 'Chronicles' universe as a whole. The idea seems to have worked well.

Volume Seven 'Lucy Smith'
The Child of Heaven 'Lucy' is introduced in her human sojourn, learning the lessons of life as a witch destined for glory. Lucy Smith is also known as 'Lucy Potter' in the Harry Potter Fanfiction works available via link from the bottom of this page. This volume is the same as the first two Lucy Potter books, simply with all 'J K Rowling' and 'Warner Bros' trademarked names changed for publishing purposes for this particular novel. (I.e. Lucy Potter can not be published yet, but Lucy Smith can). AUTHOR's NOTE: Actually, this volume was initially written as 'Lucy Potter' and then 'Lucy Potter and the Vengeance of Lucifer' and was just meant to be 'Harry Potter' fanfiction. The characters of Madalene Bridges and Jayden Bridges and Georgia Bridges are my nieces and nephew. Georgia really has a scar, as related in the story, but got the scar from banging her head on the washing machine here at 29 Merriman crescent when she was little. Links below show the 'J K Rowling - Lucy Potter' link to the website were there is also a volume 3 titled 'Lucy Potter and the Golden Sovereigns' which has not been converted into a Chronicles story yet.

Volume Eight 'Love'
The family of 'David Rothchild' amongst others is focused upon and 'David's' life before his messianic duties is shown. The Baptist Christian girl 'Justine Atkinson' just may be the heart of love David Rothchild falls for, but how does the angel 'Meludiel' figure into this? AUTHORs NOTE: This volume has one part of it written from a somewhat 'First Person' perspective. Growing up I really did not like reading stories or text written this way, but this seemed to come out naturally and, for me anyway, reading it in the first person really works quite well. But the first person perspective is mainly 'Narrative', so hopefully reads quite smoothly in the end. I am particularly fond of this novel and, in the real world, have had experiences with an angelic sort of figure which 'David Rothchild - Ambriel' later became moulded upon. Ironically, Ambriel was initially going to be called 'Sean Kennedy', but after my angel encounters another plot came along.

Volume Nine 'Destiny's Children'
A series of novellas and short stories focusing on human characters, and angels to be, 'Destiny's Children' is an anthology collection sure to delight.. AUTHORs NOTE: The 'Destiny's Children' title may be repeated possibly later on in the saga, which may include again characters features in this volume such as 'The Gilmore' family and 'Jack Dagger' as well as stories of the early Kolby family. The Kolby family featured in 'Shards of a Broken Heart' are the ancestors of 'Jack Kolby - the illustrious Rimwalker' from Volume 12.

Volume Ten 'Judgement Day'
In a sense, the conclusion to the 'Terra' story arc of the saga, but the tale is far from finished. A dramatic conclusion, with a unique ending, hopefully bringing ultimately hope to those who in the past would have deeply questioned the wisdom of God on such an important issue. NOTE: Judgement Day to me, personally, sorts of answers a lot of questions about the historical person 'Jesus of Nazareth' and his Messianic claims. To be quite precise, Haven Noahide Fellowship is a 'Non-Christian' fellowship and does not believe that Jesus was the Messiah. But this is handled in a very careful manner throughout the storyline of the 'Chronicles' with the intention of Christian readers who have a strong attachment to the person of Jesus to also enjoy stories about their beloved friend who, in the end, I am quite fond of in a normal human sense. I like much of his moral teachings in other words.

Volume Eleven 'Anthology'
A large collection of short stories, culminating in the end of the first Arc of the saga with the 'Life in Zaphon' storyline. AUTHORs NOTE: Alongside the 'Morning Stars' titles, the 'Anthology' title will feature in every future ARC of the saga with a new numerical volume number. An ARC represents 1 million years of 'Chronicles' universe history. It is simply an avenue to tell shorter stories in the saga, just snapshots, which are easier to write by myself and not always that canon compliant in many ways. Technically they are all supposed to be canon stories, but some are definitely written with a bit of tongue in cheek.

Volume Twelve 'Rimwalker'
The 'Science Fiction' epic of the Chronicles, set in the future of the Earth's universe. Introduces 'Jan Kolby' and 'Chance Kibb'star'. AUTHORs NOTE: This work seems to be genuine Science Fiction or, as I call it, genuine 'Space Fiction'. It chronicles an adventurer travelling through the stars who ultimately rises up to glory as the defender of humanity. At times I have felt this is my best work but, apart from that, it is probably my most 'Commercially accessible' work coming into the more mainstream Sci Fi crowd more easily than the rest of my angelic literature which, perhaps, has a more particular audience.


Volume Thirteen 'Morning Stars II'
Daniel the Seraphim is an angel of great ambition. Partnered with his eternal Seraphim friend Valandriel, the two of them conceive of a plot to help them gain another step towards their long held goal of absolute dominion over the Realm of Eternity. But will the 'Prophecies of the Seraphim Daniel' be enough to thwart the will and power of Gabriel, new to the position of Overseer of the Realm. Also, Ambriel's love for Justine Atkinson is renewed, and Saruviel considers his ultimate destiny to be a 'Creator' like his eternal father. AUTHOR's NOTE: The 'Morning Stars' title was inspired by the real life angel 'Ambriel' who showed up in my head saying 'Morning Stars 2'. And so I used the title as the basis for each new ARC and Gabriel has the glory for the second ARC and Raphael the third and so on. I personally feel this is a much deeper and more theological work than the earlier writings, but it is also quite intense storytelling from some of the character plots as well. More a series of plots on a common theme than a particular novel with one main tale, Morning Stars II is perhaps some of my maturing work as a writer and I am very happy with it. It leads very well into the 'Lazy Days' volume, which follows a similar structure in some ways.

Volume Fourteen 'Lazy Days'
Continuing on from Morning Stars II, a pleasant and relaxing time for the Realm of Eternity and the other Realms of God. No great tensions, no great fusses, but a careful examination into a contended world, were theological discussions of, hopefully, good humour, take place. This volume answers some unanswered questions, and is a happy little work of its own merit. AUTHOR's NOTE: Lazy Days is a typical Chronicles volume in as much as it seems to almost be exactly that - a series of Chronicles of various characters, which, although I have not written them intentionally to be Chronicles, seemed to have funnily turned out like that, meaning, I chose the title of the saga well. As a note to returning readers of my books, it is in fact true that, while I sit down and write each and every story in this saga, later on I see things working out in this saga which I never planned and which come together in good harmony. I am of the opinion to some degree that a higher power (hopefully God or some divine angel) has a large influence in the words I write in this storyline.
