Phillip Meyer is the author of the Medieval Fantasy books Unafraid: Leon's Son and Unafraid: The Last Minotaur. Phillip started writing as a teenager for a hobby, something that snowballed into the creation of his first book. Inspired by the fathers of modern fantasy, C. S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, Phillip blends the traditional fairytale with raw realism. Set in the fantasy world of Athnan, the Unafraid Series transports readers into a world of myth, blended with European medieval culture, and a sprinkle of North American monster folklore. Phillip lives in North Dakota and likes fishing, hunting, sports, listening to music, and dinosaurs. He is deeply committed to his faith, family, and community. ...more

Well, actually, Children's Books can and are often just as, or more intriguing than adult novels.

"Lesson from this book: Kids are annoying and will get you killed.

I’m sure they would be during the apocalypse or when being tracked by dinosaur" Read more of this review »

“Neither of her children had any confidence, they were both muddle-headed, Susan in her addiction to gurus and therapists, Thomas in his liberal politics, his insistence on coming out. They could not seem to grasp what mattered was what you did. Not what you said or thought about.”
Phillip Meyer, The Son
