Reclaiming Lilith

As forces pool across the universe, something very powerful, wise and dark rises within Lilith. The fate of humanity and planet are determined by the dark feminine rising within her. Heeding the darkness and traversing her underworld will be the only way to ascension. She is destined to lead Earth into its 5th dimension. Superhero or Villain, what's the difference?

Synopsis

This is the story of a young woman's ascension into the 5D, taking Earth with her. Starting off as a powerful witch in the witch-hunt days, Lilith traverses time and space to uncover some of man's best kept secrets, hosted by some notable historical figures. In an epic battle with a wild sorcerer, Lilith promises to return to Earth one day as a protective warrior. But Lilith doesn't necessarily remember this pact during her human experience and must surrender to the whispers and calls that lie deep within her. Will she prevail as a heroine or villain?

Sales arguments

  • Our current global climate is in a massive eradication phase, shaking up norms and honoring disrupters. Not only is there a pendulum shift away from the bureaucratic, capitalistic patriarchy, but there's a simultaneous subtle call and whisper to women everywhere to honor Her dark feminine, the goddess rising within.
  • I mange many social media accounts across both my personal and business platforms. In my personal accounts, I have 4.2K "friends" on Facebook; 170 "followers" on my professional Facebook page; 1,615 "followers" on my Instagram page; and 1,680 "connections" on LinkedIn. In my business, Stellaria Creative Company, I have 186 "likes" on Facebook; 2.3K "followers" on Instagram; and 27 "followers" on LinkedIn. My Stellaria websites draw organic traffic daily (Stellaria.Company and StellariaEntertainment.com).
  • I have a large and wide print and online media reach, as well, freelance writing for Growing Up in Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz Style magazine, and soon to be Lookout Santa Cruz. Additionally, I publish regularly on my writer's portfolio website at JeanettePrather.rocks. I have an avid journalism background with over 20 years of professional experience. I used to host two different radio shows (CSULB campus and KSCO in Santa Cruz), and will be reviving my podcast again in the near future.
  • Since I used to own an acrobatic studio in Santa Cruz (the only one at the time, actually), I have a wide reach into the artistic and entrepreneurial communities in Santa Cruz. And, now that there are three studios all affiliated with my former studio, the community's grown substantially. These are direct connections, friends and fans who will show up and support the book.
  • Stellaria Creative Company is in the business of storytelling through multiple media avenues, namely publishing and production. Because this is incredibly original and innovative, I've recently gotten the attention of start-up investors as well as an entrepreneurial accelerator program named RSTV. They're helping to curate Stellaria Creative Company into a $100 million company with convertible notes offered to investors for both private and public shares.

Similar titles

  • Black Leopard, Red Wolf (The Dark Star Trilogy Book 1) by Marlon James was published by Riverhead Books on February 5, 2019. The book has 2,312 4-star average reviews on Amazon, and deemed "One of TIME’s 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time." It's a story about a man solving the crime of a missing child, whereas my story is about a female protagonist traversing space and time in an avid attempt to raise Earth into the higher 5th dimension. Both sci-fi/fantasy books, yet very different in delivery.
  • Dark Star (White Haven Hunters Book 3) by TJ Green was self-published on Amazon on November 25, 2021. The book has 482 5-star averaged ratings on Amazon, which is good since the publishing mark is less than one year ago. The book is another crime-solving mystery, yet this one is more ethereal, like my story. A similarity between our books lies in the last line of her teaser: "Love magic, mystery, intrigue, and the occult?"
  • Dark Age (Red Rising Series Book 5) by Pierce Brown was published by Del Rey on July 30, 2019. The book has 4,992 4.5-star ratings on Amazon and was awarded one of NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER books. The line "In his darkening shadow, a new hero rises" from his book synopsis, serves as an exact parallel to my book. Additionally, there are aspect of the French culture that make a cameo in each of our books. Other than this, there is no similarity, except that he seems tapped into the same dark feminine energy.

Audience

This book is the highly fictionalized version of a young woman's ascent into higher realms (taking Earth with her), and deals with ancient philosophy/cosmetology that translates into real stats that current adult female (and identifying female) readers can absorb as "nearly 70% of all YA titles are purchased by adults between the ages of 18 and 64" (source: thebalancecareers.com, "Young Adult and New Adult Book Markets," also proven with Satista.com's survey that illustrated the 2% mark-up between 2019 and 2021 of readers between the ages of 18 and 29, as well as their research on 30 - 49-year-olds averaging up 5% during the same two-year duration -- https://www.statista.com/statistics/249787/book-reading-population-in-the-us-by-age/).

Advance praise

"I would love to work on your project! It was such a great story." - April Kelly, Developmental Editor for "book 3" (the interim between the previously published stories).

"I loved the book! Thank you for showing up as woman and not hiding. As a result, I've been able to really assimilate and resonate. Thank you!" - Erin Miller, owner of Moxxy Media.

About the author

I've been a professional, published writer since high school. Flicker, one of my first two self-published books was self-published when I was 25 years old. Little did I know, this story would morph into a much larger, less-angsty story of a super hero/villain character vowing to save Earth of man's evils. ​I wrote another, more ethereal book that I self-published in 2016, only to realize that the full story needed a part-two. ​Enter in the pandemic. I partook in a writer's group challenge early February 2020, right before the world shut down. That global silence made it easy to bang out another book; the what-I-thought would be the sequel to 2016's Alpha Phoenix.

Upon letting the three stories marinate, I realize that the characters I had come up with in each book were, in fact, the same character. Over time in real life, our arch matures and perspective widens. This is what happened, here, over the 17 years that this story has been evolving. ​Now, in 2022, I'm hoping to re-launch all three formerly self-published books into one; a true awakening, ascension story for young women, and women (identifying-and other words).

Lilith is deep and complex, as most intelligent female protagonists are. The content of this now-cohesive, singular book is incredibly timely in the world we live. If we are truly waking up 'en mass' all over the globe, then this book will make a ton of sense to a ton of people! ​I feel honored that the story has chosen me to write it, and over the span of 17 years, it's grown ever more potent. ​So, if this at all peaks your interest, please consider a pre-order of the book. So, of course you're in the know, but so are are your besties in these writhing times of change.

Dear Author,

You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.

1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”

We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.

If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.
