In short, A Night in Annwn – International is about the Annwn Series, which relates the story of Welsh sheep farmer Willy Jones’ last few weeks on Earth, or on The Surface as he later comes to call it; his subsequent life in Annwn, which is ancient Welsh for Heaven, but it was underground; and his decision to be reborn in order to help mankind.

In A Night in Annwn, Willy Jones is missing his deceased wife and has let himself go, much to the dismay of his daughter. One day, he undergoes a Near-Death Experience (NDE) and wakes up in what he assumes is hospital, except that his nurse seems incredibly familiar. After a time in Heaven, which he is told is known by its ancient Celtic name of Annwn and is underground, he wakes up in a hospital in Cardiff on The Surface. The experience changes his life, but he does eventually die and goes on to live his Life in Annwn.

Willy pairs up with his wife again, and goes about re-leaning life in Annwn, until one day, he, his wife and daughter decide to be reborn as Bodhisattvas to help mankind, This is the theme of the third book in the series Leaving Annwn.

Near-Death Experiences

Near-Death Experiences

Near-Death Experiences

Near-death experiences, or NDE’s, are phenomena that are recognized by science and religion alike and can be viewed from three standpoints: psychological, physiological and transcendental according to the entry on Wikipedia.

The article also goes on to mention the five stages typical of thousands of near-death experiences, which are: 1) Peace, 2) Body Separation, 3) Entering Darkness, 4) Seeing Light, 5) Entering Light. It states that sixty percent of NDE’s reach stage one, and only ten percent reach stage five.

I find the subject of near-death experiences an interesting one, so if you do as well, I urge you to enter the term into your favourite search engine.

However, if you would like to read my account of William Jones’ NDE, I have called the novel A Night in Annwn – Annwn being the ancient word for Heaven in Welsh. The Welsh believed Annwn to be the Other World, which was located under the mountains usually, but also sometimes on an island. In my story, William, an old shepherd, has his NDE walking home from the pub and is ‘rescued’ by his wife, Sarah, who had passed over five years before.

According to William’s perception of time, he spent only a night in Annwn and had a look around, although he could not remember much when he returned to his body.

We, the readers, however, can follow his often comical exploits and realizations in the capital city of Heaven in Wales, which is Annwn.

I hope that you enjoy my tale, but I am certain that William’s near-death experience will get you thinking about the greatest mystery of all time, which is life after death.

NaNoWriMo Entry 2015

NaNoWriMo Entry 2015 - A Night in Annwn

NaNoWriMo Entry 2015 – A Night in Annwn

NaNoWriMo Entry 2015

I think I have my NaNoWriMo Entry for 2015. I don’t mean that I have written it, that would be against the rules, as entrants are not allowed to even begin writing until tomorrow, but I have the title, and that is always the first step for me.

I’m not sure that I should give you the NaNoWriMo Entry title yet, perhaps I should try to eke out the suspense. On the other hand, knowing it is not going to change your life, so I doubt that you find it particularly exciting anyway. I want to call the book ‘One Night in Annwn’, but I am not going to help you anymore for a while. If you don’t know what Annwn is, you will have to look it up yourself. It is on Wikipedia (there you are, a clue and I said I wouldn’t help).

Why don’t you join us in NaNoWriMo? I think that there are usually about twenty-five thousand people taking part scattered all around the world. We normally keep in touch with a local group by Skype (free) messenger service and egg each other on to achieve the minimum average daily word total of 1,666 (50,000/30 days).

That may sound like a lot to a beginner, but it is only five hundred in the morning, another five hundred at lunchtime and seven hundred in the evening (or something like that).

I do not know what the prizes are for achieving that goal this year, but everyone who writes the 50k wins, not only a

few. The best prize for me is the free books: hardback and paperback. However, there are lots of other benefits of a NaNoWriMo Entry too, one of which is the lasting friendships you can make with other members of your group.
