Seven Steps to Eternity is a heptalogy of books depicting a compelling and somewhat sensual love story. Its a story that embraces intense feelings of joy, sorrow, disaster, and humour. Its a story that above all depicts the most powerful love between two people that has ever existed. In fact it is of a love that has never been known within the human fraternity.
When I first started writing the series; the intention was that it be simply one book. It was as I continued to write that I have to admit that to some degree I became emotionally involved. This was as the story unfolded. With my emotional involvement, the words continued to flow; and kept on flowing. On that basis; containing the complete story within one book became impractical.
The story is fiction but refers to actual events that have occurred in the world since the 1960s. As an example there are references to real events such as what has become known as Nine Eleven. There are fictional events portrayed that occur beyond the year 2000. Even though they are fictional; something similar could happen and change how we all live - forever. In fact if we dont all do something about how we treat Planet Earth; it will be inevitably someday and somehow that we will as a civilisation self destruct.
Within the story there are references to real places such as Birmingham in England; and Auckland New Zealand to name two of many. At these locations fictional events occur. These fictional events bear no reflection on the places themselves. It is simply convenient to use such places to fit in with the story. Apart from the use of real names; there are references to fictional places as well.
In writing this seven part novel I felt it to be high time that there be a change. That is a change where the explicit sensual and sexual feelings between two people exist. What I mean is that the intimate actions between two lovers be expressed as something of great beauty. Too many times I have seen the sexual act being portrayed with a crudity that is beyond belief. There are no F or C words here. Maybe this crudity came about because of an inherent timidity our society has. These seven books change all that. They take an approach that will no doubt offend or infuriate some and be embraced by others. Please; if it offends dont read on. In addition to what I have just stated; the story has a spiritual aspect that touches on the realms of being science fiction. Even so; Seven Steps to Eternity is not a series of science fiction novels as such. It is in essence a love story that differs to anything ever written. The man and the woman in the story have needs that replicate first time love and lust. Those feelings never die for a single moment. No; nobody has ever experienced such everlasting and sustained lust and love before.
For some of us; the challenges the world throws our way can be overwhelming. On that basis we dont make it. The two main characters in this story do make it. This is because firstly the intense love they have for one another gives them the strength to do so. Secondly being loved gives them the courage to survive against all odds. They are also controlled by a higher power that they cant see or feel. Over time they become aware of such a presence.
At times in writing this story there were tears in my eyes. This was with the deep sensual feelings that prevail. Even so it is not a doom and gloom epic. It has humour and in some ways it takes courage to read it. It does so because it makes us take a look at ourselves and how we live as a society. It may in all likelihood even take the reader where he or she has have never had the courage to go in a relationship.
Incidentally; its because Im a private person that I have needed to maintain my anonymity - hence the name Tessy47. Tessy47 is my twitter name. Tessy and the quintessential number 47 also have much relevance to the story as will be seen by those who read it.

Best wishes Tessy 47.
