When
you look up the term Human Cycle on
the Internet, one search result you get will refer you to the Human Action Cycle, which is the psychological theory related to
interactions between humans and computers.
As I’ve grown in my relationship
with my first series of books, I found it rather odd that a psychological term
that does not have computer in its
title is focused on computers and how we humans interact with them. Truth be
told, I was even a little offended and as a result decided to offer a more human centered definition as I weave my
tale of vampires, therians (don’t call them werewolves, I can’t stress this
enough), angels and photogeni.
Only Human is the first step in the Human Cycle and this series
is my exploration through fiction of the human factor or what we call humanity. Think of this term as the
trinity of Body-Mind-Soul. This first installment, focuses on the body and
different physical aspects that tie all of us together as a collective species.
The second book will explore more psychological aspects and the
third will focus on spirituality. This is not to say that these topics will not
be interwoven throughout the series, it’s just my way of saying that each book
will be focused more on a certain type of aspect of what makes us, well us.
For these books, research has been done on psychology (strong
emphasis on Jungean Psychology) and various spiritual texts will be analyzed
because regardless of race, creed, ethnicity, language or age, there is
endlessly more that binds us together than what separates us. So religions,
history, psychological theories, styles and topics will all interweave because
life and reality is far from linear, and on the plane we call life, there are
many existing points and in theory each one can connect.
So sit back, enjoy and connect… for what is more beautifully
human, than our ability to do precisely that?
