Gisela Pereira is a Portuguese poet and dramatist who started writing at the age of 10 and completed her first book at the age of 16. Literature has always been part of her life, as well as dance, theatre, and every art that can be expressed as a form of poetry in itself. Between the ages of 16 and 19, she completed 3 poetry books that haven't been published yet, and also has numerous works in their developmental stages. Her writing is especially influenced by mysticism and romanticism. She has read and studied extensively on her own, fascinated by both mythology and philosophy.
Her mythological studies started with Greek and Roman, then Hindu, and finally Celtic which inspired her fantasy work "The Otherworld". Her philosophical interests inspired the study of religion and gods, eventually leading her to the realms of myths and fantasy. This in turn inspired her study of metaphysics and physics. Building bridges from one theory to another and finding common threads which run between seemingly different bases of knowledge is at the core of her process of creating and working without limits.
The Otherworld is an original story written by Gisela Pereira and inspired by Celtic legends and myths. It's a mythical and enchanting faerie tale where life has brought its magick, bringing with it the most mystical characters.
One of the most fascinating characters in Celtic mythology, the Warrior Lugh, crosses Woodland heading to Tara to join the court of King Nuada and the Tuatha De Danaan. Nuada and his kingdom are at this time oppressed by the Fomorian tribe, and trying to retaliate for their land and freedom.
During Lugh's travel, he is bewitched by a faerie (Immrama) to a Beltane celebration, when the line between the human and faery world become tiny and Lugh crosses unaware to The Otherworld .
Lugh and Immrama fall in love. However, they live in different times and worlds...
