When I was a child I always thought I would become a fiction writer because I wrote so many stories in exercise books. What in fact happened was that for a while I wrote a lot of poems and songs, and then nothing at all for twenty-four years.
My consuming interest has always been the occult and religion, and in 2014 I joined A.E.O.N. a chaos magic group on Facebook. It was described as: "A Unique Art-Magic Collective made up of Highly Creative Individual Rebel Artists: Writers, Graphic Designers, Crafters, Pranksters & Performers. Art Transcends All Reason!"
For the sole purpose of contributing to this group, I started to write short stories and novellas. I teamed up with a chaos muse, a non-human entity, and channelled material from her so that we each wrote some of the pieces. Then I began to self-publish the resulting books.The more I learn about the professional writing world the more I am discovering that I don’t have anything in common with them. Therefore, I have now made all the books under my Candy Ray pen name free on this site.
I live on the south coast of England with my small family and I work part-time. The A.E.O.N. art group has faded from prominence now and has been succeeded by newer ones, but still:- Art Transcends All Reason!

Important Note: I also write under the pen name Lena Chere. The books under this name are the Eoss Trilogy, and they are available both as digital books and paperbacks. The eBooks of Volumes 2 and 3 of the trilogy are free here on Smashwords. See profile pages for Lena Chere. (There are two pages, because volume 1 comes under a different publisher.)
