New covers for The Ancestors' Secrets Trilogy
Since I first published The Ancestors' Secrets, a speculative fiction series, in 2012, the story went through a few changes.
Being an artist I get easily bored with the same old covers, therefore, I have changed the covers every year. I like the new covers for a while, and then I change them again.
The story itself had been changed and re-edited a few times as well. A lot of authors after they publish a book, they don't change anything and move on to the next story. I think this feeling of never been truly satisfied with anything originates from my artistic abilities. I feel that there is always room for improvement.
This time I put the story into Lorraine Carey's capable hands and she just finished the editing of the third book in the trilogy. Lorraine is not only a great author of many books, but being a teacher for many years, she spotted a lot of mistakes that were missed with the first and second rounds of editing. Thank you Lorraine for the great job! You can find her books on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Lorraine-Carey/e/B00ELQBUHQ/

I've been re-reading the story and I must tell you, I still enjoy it. Okay, I'm biased, but really, I'm amazed that I came up with this interwoven, complex storyline and secret society structure. You might not like magical realism stories, but this genre is my favorite so naturally, I enjoy it. However, I'm changing small things in the story as I go such as a few better fitting words or the reaction of characters.
The updated version of the trilogy box set will be available by the end of January but if the story piques your interest, you can purchase the books any time and it will be updated on your reading device when the updates are available.
When a young doctor, Ilona, starts to develop unusual powers, her life and her beliefs change. Thrown into a world of clan mysteries, traditions and secrets, she begins remembering her mother’s instructions concealed as rhymes. Punished by the ancestors long ago, Mora has waited centuries for the chance to reunite with her beloved Joland. Now, she seeks to gain the power to rule the ancient clan with a strict hierarchy and deadly laws that still exist hidden among us. Ilona has been chosen by the ancestors to stop Mora and save the future of the clan. Her birthright as a Healer runs alongside her desires as a woman. She has been in love with her best friend but is also drawn to the stranger who appears in her peculiar dream. Ilona must save herself and her family from Mora’s evil plans, uncover ancient tribal secrets, and find her Destiny Box… the box that contains the message of the Ancestors. |

After her twenty-ninth birthday, Ilona’s life was turned upside down. She learned more about her ancestry and herself in three days than in her entire life. Mora sends a man to destroy Ilona. His hateful, cold stare sends icy chills down the spines of all who see him. Ilona is no different. She feels a foreboding of evil and senses a dark force commanding him to destroy her. Ilona loves both her best friend and the stranger in her dreams, but which one is her true love? In her quest to protect her family and the future of the clan, Ilona must activate her Chameleon side to obtain unimaginable powers. She can use her powers for absolute good or absolute evil; the choice is up to her. |

Ilona is the main character of the trilogy.
She's a humble, honest, and in a way an innocent young woman who's about to discover that she inherited unimaginable powers.
Bela is her best friend and Zoltan the stranger who captures her heart.
Which man will Ilona choose?
Mora had been exiled by the ancestors centuries ago and separated from her true love.
She's cursed with eternal life and lost her beauty but has the ability of mesmerizing people into not seeing as she is today, a shriveled, skin and bone old woman. If the Chosen One will be successful in changing the present and future of the Hunor clan, Mora will never have the chance to reunite with her beloved Joland and her beauty will never be restored. She will do everything in her power to stop her.
I write alternate history, romantic urban fantasy, historical suspense novels as well as fun, educational, and bilingual books for children ages 2-14 about acceptance, friendship, family, and moral values such as accepting people with disabilities, dealing with bullies, and not judging others before getting to know them. I also like to encourage children to use their imagination and daydream about fantasy worlds.
