John Eric Ellison was born in Portland, Oregon, and has lived most of his life in America's northwest. His influences are drawn from those schools of thought that defy common explanations for the extraordinary. Descending Circles Ascending Earth is a prime example of the way he prefers to address the issues of modern myth.

DCAE Synopsis:

Late one evening in downtown Seattle, Mel Gray Eagle meets Jenny Mayor, a disarming and enthusiastic member of a bizarre new millennium cult. Jenny introduces him to a handful of her colorful friends and he soon discovers shocking secrets about each one of them.
