Tell us a little about yourself. I am a children's evangelist, a father, and a grandfather. I grew up in home with no TV--therefore, I learned to love books. In the last few years, it has been a huge thrill to be able to write books that kids (and their parents) will enjoy.
What was your motivation behind this project? The Terrestria Chronicles were written to glorify the King, to cause young adult readers to love Him with all their hearts, and to challenge them to guard their hearts for Him. Sure, there are knights and castles, fierce dragons, beautiful princesses and a lot of other exciting story elements, but the focus of the series is always on the King.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? I hope that my readers will gain a sense of wonder when they realize what the King has done for them.
How were you personally impacted by working on this project? Writing this series made me realize just how wondrous it is to be set free from the slavery of sin and to be adopted by the King of kings.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? Favorite authors: Bernard Palmer, Frank Peretti
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: I would encourage parents to read the Terrestria series with their families rather than just handing the books to their kids or teens.
