Maria D'Arcy is a spoken-word performer, dancer and author. This first novel took 15 years to accomplish, it being a tapestry of fiction and fact, intertwined with an exploration of conflicting beliefs. "Seventh Heaven, Seven Perception'" is a magic realism novel dealing with life, love, sexuality, spirituality, birth and death in different cultures. An extract was included in the hip 'Love Love Magazine' published by the Swedish Lisa Marie Jarlborn. Another short story, "Child-less and Worry-free" is included in an anthology "Defy Definitions" published by Black Eagle Books. Maria's first novel was translated into French, entitled À l'heure du septième ciel under the pen name Maria Sweeney. Ms D'Arcy would love to meet a Latin American publisher/translator because she believes the readership there is ideal for her Trope. She is eagerly selling the rights to have the story translated into Spanish.David Henry, a visual-media communications expert, designed the book cover and page layout
