Biography

Dorothy Cora Moore has researched her epic novel, "The Atlanteans," for more than 30 years, starting with Edgar Cayce, and ending with some very abstract metaphysical works on Atlantis. With a background working in law, she has also taken classes for pleasure at UCLA in Screenwriting and Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The Atlanteans began as an original screenplay and, together with its sequel, has become this novelization. Born in Chicago, Illinois, the author now lives in Prescott, Arizona.

Inspiration

My inspiration came early in life. When I was a young child (before even attending grammar school) my older sister, Kathy, told me that I would go on and on about Atlantis, which I mistakenly called "At-tah-lis." She said no one really knew in the beginning what I was talking about. In the second grade I read my first Edgar Cayce book, and learned that people called the lost continent, "Atlantis." My sister also related to me that I insisted that I would write a story about Atlantis one day, which would make everyone laugh. I also had some very abstract theories, at a very early age, that I was finally comforted in finding "in print" when I was in my late 20s -- Alice Bailey's 18 metaphysical volumes of work, which teach, through a Tibetan Llama, the "Ageless Wisdom Teachings." I remember having studied this before. Bailey's books are the most intelligent works I have ever been exposed to. However, instead of writing another book about Atlantis as so many have done before me, I took all of my research and attempted to put it in what I hope is an entertaining story -- a story centered around an ancient legend, imparting a well-intended warning, and laced with prophesy. "The Atlanteans" is really the story of two best friends from Harvard, a lawyer and a doctor, who go on the adventure of a lifetime. The novel begins as a fun adventure when Teddy and Ryan enter Teddy's 52-foot racing yacht in the Miami-Nassau Regatta, and then later turns into a story of mystery and suspense. There is a 100-page Atlantean sequence at the opening of the novel, spiraling back to the last few weeks of Atlantis' existence, and explaining . . . how what happened to the Atlanteans, relates to the world today -- including two necessary polar corrections that are part of global warming. The majority of this story is contemporary, and takes place in Chicago and Lake Forest, Illinois. One cannot write a book like this without asking . . . Do you remember advanced Atlantis, an island-continent ruled by magicians and destroyed by nature some 25,000 years ago? Could you be one of the Atlanteans?
