[Wheel of the Year 04] • Awakening

If you're a progressive intellectual outsider, there's a good chance you'll like my books.

Four pagans… Two worlds… One destiny…

The Wheel of the Year has turned from Imbolc to the spring equinox, and Wendy, Ash, River, and Ivy are preparing to visit the fantasy world of Terra Nova once again.

Spring brings hope, but also a renewal of conflict. The monotheists of Palamede, beyond merely desiring the demise of their purged exiles, are now turning their attention toward the mostly polytheist kingdom of Umbran.

The four companions have been sharpening their skills in order to aid the polytheists of both countries in their struggle… but will they inadvertently endanger those they seek to help?

Q. Who are these novels written for?

A. Anyone who identifies as an outsider, and, in particular, people who are pagan, LGBTQIA+, socialist or otherwise non-capitalist, and gifted.

Q. Are these books written for teens?

A. Any outsider, teenaged or older, should enjoy something about these novels.

Q. What genre are these books?

A. They are primarily portal fantasy novels, but they also exhibit properties of science fiction, humorous, horror, romance, and older adolescent/ new adult literature.

Q. Are these books anti-Christian?

A. No. Although these books were influenced by the frustration I felt growing up as an outsider in an evangelical Christian-dominated community, they are not anti-Christian. I’ve made sure to include monotheist characters who are good people, although the narrative does not emphasize their experiences.

Q. Do you like to hear from your fans?

A. Yes! I love to hear from them, and I try to always answer them when they contact me.
