Fact Plus Fiction: Guardian Angels

The SPRG Trilogy is a work of fiction… but did you know that all its three books are filled with details and tidbits that are actually based on fact? ;-)

The concept of Guardian Angels is one of them.

In fact, the whole SPRG series itself includes angel characters who are essential parts of Sam's growth and development, not to mention the whole plot.

In real life, thousands of people have actually had experiences that could be called "angelic interventions."

...and SPRG Trilogy author A.S.Santos herself has had a few of them.

Here is one specific experience:

A.S.Santos had been very sick that day.

But she had a very important project deadline, and she needed to have a thick envelope of documents submitted to the AC Nielsen office by 1pm.

At 10am she asked the only available person in the household to please submit the documents personally for her. That person was Gloria.

Gloria had never been to Ortigas, or to AC Nielsen.

So all she had were A.S.Santos' instructions: Take the EDSA bus. Get off at the corner near POEA. And from there ask around for directions to the AC Nielsen building.

At 12:09pm Gloria was standing at the sidewalk near POEA, clutching the brown envelope filled with important documents, and looking around at the people quickly passing her by.

Suddenly a 20-something guy in a red-and-white striped shirt came up to her and said, "Miss, the office you're looking for is just four buildings away," he said, pointing in a specific direction. "AC Nielsen is in that gray building over there. You can't miss it."

Surprised and relieved, Gloria said "Thank you!"

The guy smiled and walked on.

It was only a moment later when Gloria realized: 

She had not even asked him her question!

She looked around for the guy again -- it had been only 5 seconds since he talked to her -- but he was nowhere to be found. She could not find anyone wearing a red-and-white striped shirt.

Gloria followed the instructions he'd given her, found AC Nielsen just as the guy said, and was able to submit the documents on time.

When she returned home that afternoon she told everyone what happened, and A.S. thought, "Those documents must be more important than I thought!"

Could The Ouija Board Help You Find True Love?

Love Coach - Turned - Paranormal Romance Author
Shares Her True Story

By day, Aileen Santos is known as “The Relationship Coach,” with a number of her past clients now finding and growing loving relationships of their own.

But by night—well, in between coaching & workshop sessions, to be exact—Coach Aileen goes by another name: A.S.Santos, author of the teen paranormal romance series called The SPRG.

Of Love & The Paranormal

SPRG stands for Student Paranormal Research Group, and it is in this novel-based organization that college student Samantha Davidson not only discovers her growing psychic powers, but also becomes involved in a spiritual battle between good and evil.

And yes, she learns a thing or two about love, too.

When asked how she became involved in such diverse fields as love and the paranormal, Santos simply explains that these are “the two most confusing experiences of teenage life.”

A Personal Experience 

In fact, one of Santos’ own early experience of both was when she played the Ouija board in high school, and the spirit she contacted gave her the full name of the man she was supposed to marry.

“At that time, I didn’t know anyone by that name,” recalls Santos, “And I didn’t mention it to anyone. But just a week later a classmate of mine said this guy from another school wanted to meet me… and he had the exact same name that I got from the Ouija board.”

So did she meet this guy in high school, and eventually marry him years later?

Santos smiles. “Actually, I never got to meet him. I was only fifteen then, but I knew that if I met the guy that some ‘spirit’ told me I’d one day marry, then it would be like I had no choice in the matter. That information would always be at the back of my head, and would influence my decisions about him. Which is why I told my classmate, ‘Don’t introduce us, please.’ I figured that if we were meant to be together, then we’ll have another chance to find each other.”

What Happened Next 

Many years later, Santos is now happily married to the man who gave her the courage to become a relationship coach, “The one who’s shown me that real love happens.” And no, he is not the man from the Ouija board. Instead Santos says, “He is my choice—not some strange spirit’s.”

In fact, this concept of making your own choices is one of the underlying themes throughout the SPRG paranormal romance trilogy, while the Ouija board itself is featured in Corpse in the Mirror, book two of the series. (Ed’s note: Santos’s biggest message about the Ouija board is this: “Do NOT use it.”)

Writing Her Own Future  

Santos is a Registered Guidance Counselor with a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology, and is a Certified Professional Coach.

She has worked professionally as a magazine writer and editor, as a television scriptwriter, and as a creative writing workshop facilitator, and is a fan of Harry Potter, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the Mortal Instruments trilogy, and the Hunger Games.

It is in the SPRG series that Santos gets to combine love and the paranormal, in the form of a creatively spooky, three-book story.

Book 1: Voices in the Theater was published by Flipside in 2012, followed by Book 2: Corpse in the Mirror in 2013. Both are now available on Amazon, iTunes, and Kobo. 

Santos is currently writing Book 3: Darkness in the World, with a planned release date of Halloween 2014.
