After hearing about heaven, for perhaps the first time, and learning about its unique timelessness, Adriel, at the age of four, returned the question, “Are there rivers in heaven?” Sure. Maybe there are rivers in heaven. “Then how do they move?” he asked.

What do you get when you cross a long lineage of whack a’ nut conspiracy theorists and spiritual liberators on the one side, and a long line, dating even to William Brewster, of theologians and indoctrinated reformers on the other? Adriel. You get Adriel.

From a very young age, Adriel was practically betrothed to his job: love everybody. Toddler him would shake his fists in the air, when asked what his job was, and shout to the world: TO LOVE EVERYBODY!

But an assortment of intense traumas

Every author is heavily advised to stick to their original genre religiously. Don't deviate. Because if a thriller author tries to write a Sci-Fi book, he has to build an entirely different audience than the one he's already been acquiring. So the book won't sell.

That being said . . . no, my next book will not be fantasy.

I'm currently working on four projects!

A christian devotional where Bible excerpts are listed one after the other, from me to God and from God to me, so that it reads like a conversation, but it only uses the Bible. This one is almost finished and will probably come out sometime next year!

A YA time travel novella with a female main character.

A children's utopia book like The Giver.

And of course, the next iteration in the Archeodon Series, book two: Aliyah.

. . . All of these books are different genres, so I basically have to build four separate followings. Wish me luck, hahaha(less)

I assume, as of now, you have not read my first book, Illyadra. A compartmentalization story of fantastical category. One that has taken me fifteen years to conceive, daydream, write, edit, and publish. A piece that has commandeered my life.

Kairo, our main character, has followed me through many journeys. I’ve taken him through puberty, overseas, through relationships, and even deaths. He’s grown,

Cruel, gorey, and raunchy at times. The prose is masterful, almost artsy, but never difficult.
