About the Author

Maria Lucia was born in Havana, Cuba, and immigrated to the United States in 1960. A University of Memphis education graduate and a professional musician and vocalist, Maria moved deeply into the study of music and launched a very successful musical career in 1984.

Maria began her studies of the deeper aspects of music immersed in the wisdom of Stephen Halpern and the integration of the healing effects of music and sound. She developed her voice simultaneously with her ability to teach others how to create and bring out their own voice and soul through music.

In 1994 she completed a nine-year position with the world renowned Howard Hanger Jazz Fantasy and left her music career to focus entirely on developing her teachings. She spent many years in private practice, facilitating her own seminars and counseling on creativity. Her experience includes programs for gifted children in the public school system and creativity seminars for musicians at the university level. She has been a musical director for church programs, composer of music, and a producer of concerts. She has traveled nationally, performing and delivering seminars for more than twenty years.

In 1997, Maria launched a school focused on spiritual heart studies in North Carolina and became a full time spiritual growth teacher. She developed both her school and a personal national dream, The Foundation for the Evolution of America there until she re-located to Washington to make this dream a reality. The foundation was kept alive for five years and held the mission to augment, empower and reinstate value for the heart as well as to teach Americans how to value the heart in themselves, in others and how to value the heart of the nation.

As well as a respected speaker, Maria Lucia is the author of The Heart's Unraveling and guidebook for her current school.

Maria presently resides in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area and has taken a sabbatical from teaching. She is working full time on her writing.

Staff Reviewer

Maria Lucia weaves her many loves into this book, and her passion shows on each page. Dimensional travel, spiritual awareness, music, and the power of love are the mainstays of this fast-paced story that introduces us to the multi-layered world of The Andrusian Chronicles. Liberation does what any great story should do — it transports us from our everyday routine into another world where many things are possible. — Cecelia Sepp, BookLaunchCafe.com

“Liberation” is a really uniquely written novel. The author ties together actual devastating events that have happened in the United States, with real historical characters, and an evil supernatural syndicate. This combination is very thought-provoking. I highly recommend this novel.

Liberation is only book one of the Andrusian Chronicles, and will no doubt be an enchanting series. And as with all fantasy fiction, Lucia creates a portal for us to step through, another dimension other than our own, which is always welcome at the outset of any read. — Monique Muro, examiner.com
