Using Alternate Realities in Your Books

    It’s been a while since I’ve written in my blog but I’m back and I would like to share what I’ve been doing to my books.

I am using the alternate reality theory for two of my books. Chandra’s Quest takes place in an alternate Earth and so does In the Company of Elves. I love adding alternate reality scenarios in my books because anything is possible.

On the Earth that Chandra is from, California is a country called The Republic of California, which includes Baja. California has provinces instead of states. 
(The provinces will be mentioned in Book 3, when she regains her memory and shares the information with her friend Keeja.)

Flag

The difference in that reality is that the flag is red and white with a red star at the top left hand corner, same as the flag on the bottom, except instead of a bear, it has the eagle as pictured above. 

(For those who are offended by this, remember this is fiction and is part of the Chandra's Quest trilogy. There is always a background to each character, where they come from and who they are.)

 In book three of Chandra's Quest, Chandra's memories return and she will reveal in more detail about her world. 

Alternate Reality Fiction

Of course, this is all just fiction and I'm sure many out there will oppose to California being it's own country, mostly the people who see nothing but politics, right? 
So with that said, I will ignore all trolling about this subject in the future.

Now let’s look at the book, In the Company of Elves. On Melissa’s Earth, there is a Jewish President, there are 52 states, Includes Baja as state and small portion of northern Mexico, bordering southern Texas. 9/11 never happened. Portals are being created by CERN which is why Melissa is able to cross worlds.

What I outlined are the portion of lands that belong to America.

All of the above will be briefly mentioned in my books, with the exception that I did not mention it, In the Company of Elves. Sorry about that but at least I gave you an idea about the worlds the characters come from.

 It’s quite fun to imagine a “what if” scenario isn’t it. Using alternate reality scenarios in your books is fun. Take the reader to a world that may seem impossible to believe. Walk them through the mirror. They will be intrigued by the concept.
