Many places are shutting down. Schools are closing. Colleges are cancelling classes. Some place you can’t find bottled water, toilet paper or paper towels. The coronavirus is bringing life to a halt.
Some are comparing it to Influenza of 1917. Let’s all pray it does not reach that epic proposition. The death toll for Influenza of 1917 is estimated to have been anywhere from 17 million to 50 million, and possibly as high as 100 million, making it one of the deadliest epidemics in human history.
We are much more prepared to deal with a Pandemic than the people of 1917. Some have suggested we are born with a certain amount of immunity to these viruses being direct descendants of the people who survived the 1917-1919 Influenza. That has proven to be true with the descendants of other Pandemics such as the Bubonic plague.

She wished to complete them all before introducing them to public so the readers wouldn't have to for the continuation to be written.
The ideas of the book come from classic literature such as whose work greatly influence the world world such as Homer, Sophocles, Herodotus, Euripides, Socrates, Hippocrates, Aristophanes, Plato, Aristotle and many more. The "Book of Enoch" influenced the usage of Azazael as a main character and love interest. I created the primary main character from the Chronicle of Saints. I wanted to show them as real flesh and blood with thoughts, desires and yearning as any human. Not as they are so often depicted. So I created one of my own to show her as a real human that everyone can relate to.
