Heart of Eternity by N. Jay
When you are invited to
dance with the muse of love, when you are driven to the edge by the
pain of the past, when you hold the remedy for what ails you in your
arms you will find yourself in the heart of eternity.
Set in the Blue Mountain’s town of Blackheath in New South Wales, Australia, the novel Heart of Eternity introduces two very different characters, Jay and Naida, who encounter each other at a challenging time in each of their lives. Their individual expressions of the feelings they provoke in each other give rise to a turmoil that could ultimately claim their lives. When two people understand so deeply the pain each other has faced will it force them into the abyss of darkness or will their combined need for healing allow love to enter both their hearts?

Soft lines of emotion
crossed his forehead as he turned and looked into her eyes one last
time, confused as to why she seemed so familiar and all the more
frustrated at his own dark side for not breaking out in front of her.
Jay forced himself not to look back, to pretend as if Naidah had never
existed, and to be cold and alone again just the way he liked it. He
disappeared eventually, basking in the heat of his own hell.
But Naidah stood there as if she’d been
waiting her whole life for him. Her soulful eyes locked on his every
move, craning her neck as far as she could to lock his towering frame in
her eyes forever, feeling her breath stop as distance grew between
them, wanting to reach over but not being able to move an inch, the
distant recesses of space pulling Jay infinitely
away from her till he vanished from her sight. A sharp and tangible
pain ridged between her heart and ripped away her soul. She caressed the
folds of his jacket. The feeling flooded her with his scent. It was
engulfing. Crouching down where Jay was standing a minute ago, Naida
cupped the sand up in her palm and held it there as if trying to confirm
the veracity of his existence, to tell the difference between her
vision and reality.
All that happened afterwards was a mere blur
for Naida; Eva’s shout, the lifeguard’s queries, the crowd eyeing her
drenched body with curiosity, murmuring conjectures. Everything gyrated
around her in full swing but she stood there, unmoving… unnerved.
The sand in her palm slowly slipped away in
the wind and took her with it and the only part that ever remained there
was the one that did not belong to her anymore…it belonged to him…
N. Jay, found the inspiration of her romance novel Heart of Eternity in
her own life history and folklore---- By drawing on the power of her
personal experiences, she has created characters whose desires are
circumscribed by the landscapes and pasts they can no longer escape.
Coming from a culturally diverse background, N. Jay received an M.A. in
Literature in 2009 and teaches in the areas of comparative literature,
composition, and language pedagogy. Currently, she resides in Dubai,
UAE, with her husband and two year old daughter. N. Jay finds the
internal world of human beings to be a constant source of fascination
and loves the more emotionally laden side of life
