Christopher Patterson | 5 comments So if I screw this up I am sorry. My book is a fantasy adventure, set in a fantasy world, so it is not overtly Christian. The main characters faith, however, is established in the Creator (God). I have built in many strong Christian themes and undertones throughout the book as, I am myself, a Christian and very active at my church and found a need for more fantasy fiction with Christian elements to it. A Chance Beginning was first published May 2, 2014 and is available through Amazon in paperback or kindle.

Here is the back cover blurb:

Erik Eleodum is a simple man. He doesn’t want to be a hero. He doesn’t need fame or fortune. He is content farming his family’s homestead in northern Háthgolthane and raising a simple family, like his father, for the rest of his life. In fact, adventure is the last thing on his mind.


Befel, Erik’s brother, and Bryon, his cousin, can’t think of anything worse than farming for the rest of their lives. They want to be heroes. They want fame and fortune. They want to leave their families and go east, to the country of Golgolithul, where they are sure to find easy wealth and great adventure.

But when these three young men leave their farmstead, they quickly discover the world is not so simple, not so easy. Most fortune is laden with treachery, fame must be earned with blood, and adventures are rarely grand. Ideas of grandeur are crushed and the road east is hard. To get there, these men must ultimately sell their swords and become friends with thieves, dwarves, soldiers, and mercenaries well past their prime. They battle a band of ruthless slavers, slip past assassins, and experience the deadly consequences of black magic.

Will Erik ever be able to return to the simple life? Will he unwittingly become famous, become rich, become a hero? Or, will he even survive?

Hope this is appropriate and hope you enjoy.
