Seven

A Hybrid fiction novel pairing nonfiction with fiction. The first six chapters are narrative nonfiction, self-help built around seven. In Chapter Seven, something unexpected happens with half of the book remaining; nonfiction becomes fiction, or does it?
Pairing fiction with nonfiction is a great way to engage readers. That was my intention. So, this novel, or better-stated novella, does that. The first six chapters are non-fiction, self-help, and narrative discovery into the number seven and how much it has become part of our conscious life. The last nine-thousand-word chapter with seven subheadings is fiction, or is it? You'll meet Seven. A mental construct being who materializes as a shaman-type teacher and has a long conversation with the first-person point of view active voice. This voice could be the author or you, the reader.
The last ten thousand words grab your attention and imagination-you can't put down the book. The first six chapters are informative self-help written from the practical to the spiritual, with the occasional theatre of the mind metaphorical breaks. You will never see the number seven the same again.
In chapter three-Journey to the Light. This could be interpreted as fiction, but it isn't. My reality and experience are subjective, as all experiences are. Chapter three is a teaser of non-fiction that reads like fiction for what will come later in chapter seven.
