‘Are these my thoughts or yours?’ I asked.

‘It doesn’t matter,’ said the Sun.  ‘You are me and I am you….’

The Book of the Sun is a record of the conversations between the author and the Sun.  It concerns the structure of the living universe, why it is so difficult here, and why we should all begin to realize that we are all one, and yet diverse at the same time.  It answers many questions that have concerned minds throughout the millennia.  Why are we here?  Why is there suffering?  What is the future for us?  These questions and many more are answered with many surprises for the reader.

This is a god- the Sun, speaking to us through this book – who has contacted us before in Ancient Egypt, the Americas and many other places.  But the message now is that there is no separation, so the Sun is very concerned that we should not make a religion out of this contact.  Religions are based on hierarchies, rules and judgments, and the Sun’s message is not only that we are one but that love and light is the only reality, with a spicing of laughter.

 

 



Interview

Can you tell us a little about the process of getting this book published? How did you come up with the idea and how did you start?   I channel the Sun; when it first appeared,  and after I’d written much of it down, I had to think what to do next.  As I’d had many books published before, I tried  with my agent Wendy Yorke to approach conventional publishers.   But it was too unusual for them, and in the end I finished up using a hybrid publisher. 

 

 

What surprised you most about getting your book published?   How easy and pleasant it was to use a professional, hybrid publisher like Parul Agrawal.   How delightful it was to chose the cover and the format.  How speedily we were able to get it out. 

 

 

Tell us a little about what you do when you aren’t writing.  I walk our four dogs, look after my aged mother, read obsessively, listen to music, socialize with friends  and garden. 

 

 

As a published author, what would you say was the most pivotal point of your writing life?  My English teacher at school, saying that I couldn’t write an uninteresting sentence if I tried. 

 

 

Where do you get your best ideas and why do you think that is?  From the Sun!   Intuition, relaxing in a bath, meditating, out in nature, listening to music. 

 

 

What is the toughest criticism given to you as an author?  Materialist family and friends who won’t touch it with a barge pole, because it doesn’t fit the materialist paradigm. 

 

 

What has been your best accomplishment as a writer?  This book.  Our creator came to me, to explain the workings of the universe and why we suffer here.  This book contains unique information.  I cannot believe it happened to me. 

 

 

How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have?  One novel, nearly completed.  And a new book from the Sun, just started.

 

 

 


  About the Author

Jenny Rook was born in Essex, UK and educated at York University, where she graduated with a degree in English and Music. Studying the greats of literature called a halt to her burgeoning desire to write. After various adventures in: the scrap trade; bookselling; helping run an employment agency; and having children, she settled back into her first love, writing. Her first fiction book Fly By Night (1989) was accepted by Headline, the first publisher she sent it to. This was the first of a fantasy trilogy and Headline wanted all three. All her fiction books are published under the name Jenny Jones. Two adult ghost novels followed, Where the Children Cry (1998) and The Blue Manor (1995) both published by Gollancz. Five other fantasy/horror books for teenagers were published by Scholastic (1994, 1995, 1997), Hodder (1995) and Orion (2000).

In 2006, Jenny qualified as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist for children and their families. She worked mainly for the NHS and also volunteered for Sure Start (a UK government initiative to help with the early stages in a mother and baby’s relationship), before taking early retirement to look after her elderly mother. Jenny now lives with her husband, mother, and three dogs in the Cotswolds and writes nonfiction.
