👽The Ananaki: A Mythological Sci-Fi Journey into Angels, Aliens, and Biblical Prophecy

---

The History of my WIP

Through the years, there have been countless reports of unidentified flying objects, strange occurrences, and other paranormal phenomena. Most explanations fall into two categories: aliens or demons. But what if they are something else entirely?

This story explores the idea that aliens might actually be angels. Beings on a mission to create a force that allows travel between Heaven and Earth. As readers journey through the pages of The Ananaki, they will find reimagined biblical tales with a twist. Giants like Goliath are not just towering warriors. They are angels bound to Earth, caught between purpose and punishment.

Some characters are familiar. Others are entirely imagined. If you grew up on Old Testament stories, you will recognize the names. But be prepared. This is not a Sunday school retelling. This is more like mythological sci-fi. For some, this story might challenge expectations. For others, it may spark curiosity. Some may even call it sacrilegious.

Genre, Voice, and Structure

The Ananaki is a mythological sci-fi time travel saga told in a vignette-style structure. Its narrator is omniscient. The tone draws inspiration from series like Game of Thrones and Ancient Aliens. The themes include redemption, love, good versus evil, and spiritual awakening.

This story is not written for children. It is for mature readers who enjoy layered narratives and unfamiliar twists on familiar names. The plot spans time and galaxies, from ancient desert valleys to celestial citadels, weaving together divine prophecy, historical echoes, and bold speculation.

Where It All Came From

It started with questions I could not shake. Are angels real? Are aliens actually angels? What if we weren’t the first? Are there angels surrounding us?

I grew up reading books like The Robe, The Silver Chalice, Christy, Hinds’ Feet on High Places, and Frank Peretti’s,The Darkness series. These stories blended history, faith, and fiction in ways that allowed space for imagination. I always wondered about the people outside the verses, the ones not fully written into the story. I wanted to write about them.

My Evolution as a Writer: From Anecdotes to Actual Stories

Writing has been both therapy and escape for me. But I did not always call myself a writer.

Years ago, I started writing humorous short pieces about motherhood. They were 300 to 500 words, light and fun. People enjoyed them, and some compared my voice to Erma Bombeck or Barbara Johnson. I imagined publishing a collection, going on tour, signing books.

Then the rejection letters arrived.

One editor summed it up:
“You’re not writing stories. You’re writing anecdotes.”

That stung. But it was also true.

So I studied. I read. I took classes and workshops. I learned how to shape moments into arcs and add tension, conflict, and depth. I grew. Here is a side-by-side example from my early writing days.

📝 Excerpt: The Old Version

The room was quiet as a classroom can be on a Wednesday afternoon. The rustle of papers shuffling, feet tapping, and deep sighing were the only noises heard over the hum of the air conditioner and the low murmur of voices giving book reports.

I was just as bored as the other students, playing with my clipboard. It had a hole for hanging on the wall. I pushed and pulled my finger in and out of the hole until it got stuck. And then it swelled. And then it really got stuck. My turn to give my book report was coming up… and I was trapped by a clipboard.

✨ Excerpt: The Updated Version

The dull drone of Perry Goforth reading his book report at the front of the class matched the lazy, meandering flight of the fly seeking to find an opening in the wall of windows beside us.

My report would be more interesting. Girls are smarter than boys, especially rude ones like Tyler Hatch and Tim Hightower.

I absentmindedly slipped my finger in and out of the metal clip on my pristine clipboard. Mrs. Elsie called Tyler’s name. The sound of sighs and shuffling feet filled the classroom as he made his way forward.

The fly found a crack in the window and escaped. I wished I could do the same.

That journey from anecdote to story is what helped me build The Ananaki. It gave me tools to manage multiple timelines, weave history into fantasy, and make ancient voices feel familiar.

🔥 Featured Excerpt from The Ananaki

Jesse gently wrapped his arms around Nitzevet beneath the stars, the newborn between them, swaddled tightly. The fire was dying, and the embers glowed with the last warmth of the night.

“Look, Nitzevet. The North Star is brighter tonight than it has been in many moons,” he whispered. “It is a sign that we still have hope.”

She did not turn to look. Instead, she tightened her hold on the baby and murmured, “Balaam’s oracle said a star would rise out of Jacob. What if our David is that star?”

In the darkness, neither spoke for a long time. They listened to the wind, to the silence, and to the weight of destiny breathing between them. Then Jesse asked the question neither of them was ready to answer.

“Will he be a shepherd, a warrior, or the scepter of Israel?”

🌌 Final Thoughts

The Ananaki is not a retelling. It is a reimagining. It asks what might have happened off the page of scripture, or in the heavens between the moments we think we know. It blends biblical names with ancient mysteries and personal struggles. It does not seek to rewrite history. It seeks to ask questions that have long been whispered through time through the lens of fiction.

I may never be the next Erma Bombeck or George Martin. But I know where I have been. And more importantly, I know where I am going.
