Would you give up on being a hero in order to save the world? Finn Bran is a young journeyman bard who performs all the traditional songs of heroism and great deeds, while dreaming that he could someday be part of such a story. But the Kingdom of Valeria is falling into decline all around him as a mysterious force fosters thoughts of violence and intolerance in people's minds. Brought face-to-face with this terrifying evil, Finn narrowly escapes death and emerges beaten, but possessing a strange new gift - or curse. Able to hear the purity or impurity of people's thoughts in the form of music, Finn realises that his unique insight leaves him with the responsibility to fight back against the evil being that has defeated him once already. But first, he must learn to master the music of his own mind. This quest will lead Finn from the enchanted realm of the Fair Folk to the castle dungeons; to an ill-fated battle with a dragon that leads to a friendship that changes the shape of the world; to an inner mastery of elemental forces. Finally, will Finn be strong enough to face the immutable enemy that has twisted an entire nation to its own dark ends ... or will he need to reach out for help from the strangest of places?
I am interested in reading - and writing ? books that have some meaning, some impact; that do not just entertain, but make us into better people. Fiction has great power to change us: we take the hero's journey with them, and so stories can lead us deeper into the truth of who we are. I have always loved fantasy, but as a born cynic I would ask myself, 'Isn't this unrealistic? Why does good always triumph over evil?' But I have learnt to find this truth in fantasy: good always triumphs over evil because this is an inevitability. The story follows our inner journey, the one each of us must take over our lifetime: a journey from darkness and struggle that always holds the potential for light. Each one of us has that potential to conquer our inner demons and find our own enlightenment; that potential is indestructible, and the darkness within our mind is only a temporary obstruction. So, good will always triumph over evil, in the end. The novels I write will, I hope, be one little spark to illuminate and encourage that inner journey. I live in a Buddhist community in the middle of nowhere. I walk in the woods every day, and would probably be happy never to go into a city again (as long as I have access to online shopping). There is a lot of insight I have gained through meditation in my writing - but my books aren't Buddhist books. I just try to inspire everyone to be good and kind and happy.
