The
Story Behind the Story
Hal
Rappaport
There is a romantic and heart
wrenching story arc thread being woven throughout. It will become more and more
apparent in the next books. While I hope it will entertain, there are a few
deeper themes that I wanted to express.
First, although the central character,
Mark is male, the real strength comes from the women around him. I wanted to demonstrate balances. The title, “The Lesson of Three” comes from
the Wiccan Rede (pronounced “reed”).
It’s part of an understanding that any witch or magick practitioner
should understand. Any energy you put
out in the universe (magickal or otherwise) will come back to you times
three. Similar to Karma, with its
balance, the Wiccan and Pagan beliefs are just multiplied by three. It still comes out to be a balance, so it
doesn’t strictly conflict with Karma, just that it shows it’s results with
“broader strokes.”
I also wanted to highlight that all of
our religions and magickal practices have much more in common than they have
differences. We need to celebrate what
we have in common and share our differences, not fight over them.

About the Author:
I currently
live in New Jersey, in a small town just north of Princeton. I grew up in Philadelphia. I guess I’ve been writing stories since I was
about 11 or 12. I loved the idea of
being able to transport someone to another place, or to create my own.
I’ve always
been into technology. I’ve worked in the
field for almost 25 years. I wrote for
the Syfy Channel’s technology site, DVICE and several of my articles were
picked up by NBC (NBC Universal owns the Syfy Channel). I have regular articles that are science
fiction inspired, but about REAL technology.
It’s been my passion to incorporate something real from fiction. In the
case of my book, it’s incorporating something real INTO the fiction.
Before any
of the Syfy channel stuff, way back in the early days before Facebook and
before Blogs, I created a web site for Horror themes called,
Frightscape.com. It’s still in existence
in its very primitive form.
Anyway, I
decided to write an article for my own site about one of the scariest places I
had ever been. It was a haunted
attraction that had existed in the 1970’s and 80’s. It was called, Brigantine Castle. It was gigantic. It was five stories tall with over 80 live actors. Through the early search facilities of the
web, I found a few of the original cast and got them together using a yahoo
group (They still use it).
It gave me a
unique opportunity to interview them and to write some great stuff about the
place, with a lot of their pictures and even some sound recordings.
The editor
of Haunted Attractions magazine read my web site and asked me to write one for
him. It was my first professional
writing. I’ve written a few more
articles for Haunted Attractions Magazine since then, along with a few other
industry publications.
