Ithyanna Interview by Don Edward Cook, Part 2
ITHYANNA, TITLE CHARACTER OF ITHYANNA: LAST DAUGHTER OF ATLANTIS BOOK I: HOW THE WORLD ENDED MILLENNIA AGO, PART II
By Don Edward Cook
In Part I of my character interview with Dr. Ithyanna D’Yel Tiekka Ekkleono of the Vansqvaa Institute for Higher-Learning in Loxxdiekko, Atlantis (and principal character of Ithyanna: Last Daughter of Atlantis Book I: How the World Ended Millennia Ago), we discussed her childhood, her quest to learn of the fate of her world, her opinion of the Ark-builder Noah, why she disagreed with him, her ambitious space-based alternative to Noah’s simpler plan for restarting civilization, and the basis for abandoning Earth. In Part II, we discuss her romantic life, supporters and opponents of her space-ark plan, a bit about her mental superpowers, and more.
DON EDWARD COOK: I understand that you have a love interest.
ITHY: Ah, yes. My love-lord husband and co-chair of Project Life-Escape, Dr. Iasko Ekkleono. He’s my biggest supporter.
DEC: Who’s on side with you and the research team that you and your husband Iasko co-chair?
ITHY: My project’s supporters consist of Vansqvaa alumni, other personal and corporate financial backers, various foreign researchers and their respective institutes, including many Lemurian expatriate scientists… and media multi-billionairess Lady Kaeoxxaea Maqbevvaea. Think of her as the Oprah Winfrey of our Antediluvian age, the wealthiest woman pre-Flood Earth ever knew. She’s a real character. At first, she tried to make the space ark a private spaceship for her own use. But I used my unique powers of persuasion to convince her otherwise.
DEC: And your opponents?
ITHY: The League of Realms, or LR—our equivalent to your United Nations. My day’s malevolent mega-mass media, for another. The Antediluvian international banking social strata, which is controlled by the LR, and vice versa. Oh, and the Crescentarians on the official level, as well as the ultra-radical Free Atlantis armed militia-like movement, or “Freebies” as we call them… [Increasingly angry, repeatedly pounding her fist on her chair’s right armrest.] And their exact militant opposite movement, the Spectralists! The Spectralists! SPECTRALISTS! THE SAME BLOODY ORGANIZATION OF THUG-BASTARDS WHO CRASHED MY GRAD CEREMONY WITH A VIOLENT ATTACK ON THE GRADS, STAFF, AND GUESTS!
[Silence befalls us both, until Ithy catches her breath, collects herself, and calms down.]
DEC: Are you okay?
ITHY: Yes. I am now. But my most Missouri mule-stubborn opponent is the Lion of Judah! Why does Elohim back Noah and not me?! I guess those who read this blog will have to buy a copy of your book, Don, titled Ithyanna: Last Daughter of Atlantis Book I: How the World Ended Millennia Ago in order to find out. I presume it’s available on your world’s online book vendors Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Google, and Kindle, as well as directly from your assisted self-publisher FriesenPress.
DEC: You took the works right out of my mouth!
ITHY: I didn’t mean to be rude. Do you have a website of your own?
DEC: I do. My website is The Donnyverse, which is at http://www.donnyverse.com/.
ITHY: Cool name for a website.
DEC: One last question I hadn’t planned to ask, but given how well we talked today, just how did you pick up on my language so quickly, right down to the very idiom I use?
ITHY: It’s quite simple, Don. Most people’s minds radiate practically everything they know. Telepaths like me can pick up people’s thoughts that way. That’s how I picked up on how you spoke, your own personal idiom included, and learned in less than a modern-day minute how to talk with you. Now, one last question: would you please kindly let me return to my own time?
DEC: Of course. Take care!
ITHY: Thanks! And dear 21st century Futurians, go online and buy a copy of Don’s book about me, Ithyanna: Last Daughter of Atlantis Book I: How the World Ended Millennia Ago! You’ll get to know me much better there!
[Ithy is enveloped within a ball of cyan light—and vanishes!]

Don Edward Cook decided to become a writer late in life around age 55. As a Canadian with a strong Christian faith and a strong believer and supporter of freedom, Mr. Cook’s faith in God and love for science fiction has resulted in Ithyanna, Last Daughter of Atlantis. This book is loosely based upon his short film The Last Atlantean (2009), which garnered a place in the top ten percentile of IMDb’s MovieMeter during mid-summer in 2010. Ithyanna, Last Daughter of Atlantis has also earned positive reviews by both Kirkus and Goodreads (the latter review netting Mr. Cook’s book a five-star rating.)
Mr. Cook currently resides in London, Ontario, Canada.
