A Message From Our Ancient Ancestors
Naran Stalwart is a young, introverted scientist who lives by logic and breathes facts. Imagine her surprise when she’s invited by a mysterious and secretive civilisation, called the Didelians, to be initiated into their ancient knowledge.
The Didelians surfaced after the Second World War. Nobody knows who they are or where they came from, but one thing is clear: they are not like other humans.
As a rational scientist, Naran is a skeptic of the supernatural. However, when she learns why she was chosen by the Didelians, Naran feels a deep conviction to accept her apprenticeship. Once she does, the young scientist enters an unpredictable and exhilarating existence beyond the realm of human possibilities. Naran’s rational plans and her perception of who she thought she was are thrown into a tailspin. While Naran struggles to understand if she’s losing or actually finding herself, she discovers that the history of humanity isn’t what she thought it was, and that the stakes of completing her training are much higher than she could have imagined.
Will Naran bring back ancient knowledge, when the one thing she isn’t allowed to do, fall in love with her mentor, feels unavoidable?
The book series "Godyssey" is a modern grail quest that explores the roots of humankind. The books are filled with messages from the Antediluvian world that have survived throughout Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Medieval times and that are destined to resurface today.
"A Life Lived in Fear is a Life Half Lived"
I've traveled and explored our globe for over 20 years while reading approximately one book per week. As I crossed endless miles and uncountable pages on my extensive journeys through minds, mountains, and valleys, I couldn’t help but notice that women, people of color, minorities, poor people, and social outcasts have scarcely been partaking in the design of everything we see and use today.
We all know that how we live isn't sustainable for Mother Earth, and it doesn’t seem to be changing fast enough for our survival.
This is why, as someone skilled in fiction novel writing, I’d like to imagine a world that has been shaped by equal voices, in which nature too is heard.
In the Sheconomix Podcast, we will tread a world of imagination and wonder. We will ask ourselves: ‘What If…?’
What if women had designed the systems we all use daily? What would the world look like? How would we feel? What would we be doing? What would be different? And how do we get there now?

About Me
In 2004, as I was looking out over the Eiffel Tower with a book from Isabel Allende in my hands, I suddenly knew:
I was going to write a book about the initiation of a modern woman into ancient mystery teachings.
Little did I know that I had to wait eight more years to start the process. Until then, I studied French literature at the Sorbonne IV in Paris, creative writing at Boston College, and political science at the University of Amsterdam.
In 2012, when the story finally started to flow, I instantly gave up my marketing position in Silicon Valley and moved into a self-built campervan. I desired to visit the locations where the book would take place in the USA and Europe. This amazing journey gave me the time to study ancient mystery teachings. I delved into Kabbalah, The Knights Templar, Ancient Greek and Hebrew, the Quadrivium, Egyptian mysteries, Norse mythology, and plant medicine. Topics I wilfully weaved into my speculative fiction books that had now become a whole series:
GODYSSEY
Godyssey is one Wild, Magic Realism, Action Packed, Perspective Shifting, Boundry Crossing, and Halluconegenic Grail-Quest.
