My fantasy series incorporates the kinds of themes I love in Lewis and Tolkien, as well as others (like Rowling): good versus evil, sacrifice, courage, faith, family dynamics (kids and parents), creatures who support or impede humans in their quest for making their world better.

So many young people (and older people) are lost, disconnected and polarized from others, finding their purpose and meaning in what and who they can be vehemently opposed to rather than leaning into what they have in common with others.

My mission as an author is to create stories that move my readers to believe (or re-believe) that, like Sam declared to Frodo on the flanks of Mount Doom,

“Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.”
