As promised, here are the answers to your questions from the last blog post! These are all pretty spoilery of the Angelfire books, so have fun! There are a few hints to what's coming up in the next books so pay attention ;-) Thank you for all your great questions and I hope you enjoy!
Something I forgot to mention in the video: I often get asked "Why do you use reincarnation in a world based on Judeo-Christian lore?" Yes there is a huge difference between resurrection and reincarnation, and in fact most groups of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism don't believe in reincarnation. Even though I up in a Christian family, I chose to include a few Eastern beliefs, because I like to explore other religions, particularly ancient religions. The idea of reincarnation began with the Orphic religion in 6th century BC Greece and in early Hinduism and Buddhism. If you want to look more into it, I recommend checking out the Bardo Thodol, or the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Cool stuff!

Thanks for answering my question! Now I'm definitely excited to see where this whole Ellie/Archangel Gabriel thing is going! I'm glad there's more to it than what I thought at first.
Another thing I'm excited for: the ENSHI. Of course, I just realized I could've asked a question about that instead, but oh well. I'll find out next year.
Thanks again!
=)
I hope you enjoy the Enshi when he makes his debut! He's the creepiest thing I've written, I think =D
