The author asks, "Do you believe in angels?" If not, he believes you may after reading Gloria Rising.

Linden Morningstar is the author of Gloria Rising and The Starlight Prophecy. Gloria Rising is a compelling psychological and supernatural novel based on real events. Linden's extensive experience as a hypnotherapist gives psychological depth to this powerful and unsettling story about a woman terrified of going insane and desperate for help.

Gloria must face and accept the horror and repressed trauma of her childhood in order to heal herself and transform her life. Her hypnotherapist, Dr. Adam Jaxon is confronted by Gloria’s baffling array of psychiatric disorders and symptoms, and dangerous sleepwalking episodes. Even more bewildering is the unexpected appearance of a ghostly presence during Gloria’s hypnotherapy sessions who claims to have come to help Gloria and watch over and guide Dr. Jaxon's hypnotherapy. An astonishing turn of events that unnerves the usually unflappable Dr. Jaxon and forces him to reconsider his own understanding and grip on reality. Dr. Jaxon’s beliefs about reality and the nature of existence are profoundly tested and reset later when the mysterious being reveals its shocking identity.

Gloria Rising is a trailblazing psychological novel based on true events that takes you beyond the intriguing books about multiple personalities of Sybil and The Three Faces of Eve to indescribable terror and horror—and to something beyond that is otherworldly, which defies the principles and understanding of modern psychology and psychiatry.

Legendary hypnotherapist, Dr. Adam Jaxon, is on a quest to rescue and heal his mystifying and perplexing patient, Gloria from the brink of madness and horrifying nightmares. Gloria’s riveting story is told under deep hypnosis where her unconscious mind automatically writes down the terrifying details of her nightmares, to expose the shocking truth that may set her free or plunge her deeper into madness.

Gloria’s automatic letters are compelling and heart-wrenching yet open the doors of perception to a deeper awareness and higher consciousness she needs to solve the puzzle of her escalating madness and to uncover the dark secrets buried in her nightmares—a mystery that Gloria is terrified to face, yet must, to escape madness and reclaim her sanity and life.

Linden's spellbinding novel was inspired by his war experiences and life changing decision to become a warrior-healer to heal himself and others from traumatic experiences. He drew strength and inspiration from the people he helped heal and discovered the divine power of healing through his hypnotic experiences with the woman, he calls Gloria in his novel Gloria Rising. He utilized this immense healing power to heal her psychological trauma, which humbled him and gave him the courage to write Gloria Rising with his best friend, Beatrice Hudson.
