Embark on an enthralling exploration of the mystical as we engage with CJ Toca, the creative force behind "The Secret Heir" and "The Vacant Seat." Toca enjoys writing suspense and mystery fiction with an eye toward the spiritual or mystical aspects of life, and it should be no surprise that "The Secret Heir" contains both spiritual and mystical components.
Toca enjoys settings that are somewhat unique and not often used, such as rural and urban New Jersey, rural Scotland, Malta, the Cape Verde Islands, Brazil, Turkmenistan, rural Arizona, and Mexico in "The Secret Heir." "The Vacant Seat" transports the reader to Italy, but also again to rural Scotland and Brazil. Toca's intent is to paint a vivid description of these locales, transporting the reader there. As an avid reader of fiction and non-fiction, an Anglophile, and a buff of religion, art, and history, Toca's interests shine through in his writing.
In this episode, CJ opens up about his literary journey, revealing how he intricately weaves threads of suspense and spirituality into his characters' transformative experiences. Stefania and Thomas become our guides through thrilling mysteries, their skepticism giving way to profound spiritual insights. Grappling with the fusion of fact and fiction, CJ recounts the challenges of embedding authentic historical and religious lore within his tales, inviting readers to witness Stefania's evolution from doubt to clairvoyance in his upcoming novel, "The Lost Painting."
Prepare to be captivated as we traverse through the rich tapestry of spiritual themes that CJ Toca masterfully depicts in his adventure-laden trilogy. The personal odysseys of Stefania and Thomas are set against the backdrop of iconic cultural and spiritual locales, from the sacred corridors of the Vatican to the vibrant heart of Brazil. Their journey is punctuated by a love for art and music, with Stefania's connection to Caravaggio and the operatic realm underscoring the profound role such expressions play in our search for meaning.
As we eagerly anticipate "The Lost Painting," we are teased with the promise of deeper clairvoyant experiences and a shrouded secret about Thomas poised to weave an even richer narrative of life, death, and the supernatural.
