While many authors lock their doors and agonize, trying to come up with an idea for their next book, some of literature’s greatest releases have channeled themselves through their authors. Tucson author Any a Luz Lobos describes the unique beginnings of 'Wild Knowing.' "It's like this novel came through me, rather than from me," she explains. "I was sitting in my room, enjoying an especially peaceful meditation session, when the idea just came to me in a flash. I found the inspiration so overwhelming that, for months, I couldn't even bring myself to start writing." She goes on to describe how it took her over ten years to complete 'Wild Knowing.' "I just had to keep revising it, as well as discussing it with several literature professors and other people who's ideas I respected...until I was convinced that I'd done the original inspiration justice." A deep meditation, and the resulting book, are now making an impact on the world. "Because of how this novel first came to me, I can't help but see it as a gift from nature. We're at a pivotal point in world history when confusion and lack of self -awareness are endangering our planet's future. I hope my novel inspires readers to expand their awareness and, in so doing, contribute to positive evolutionary change. Wild Knowing is so much more than a tale of love, it's a thought-provoking journey into why we love and who we really are."
