A place where stories aren’t just read, they come alive!
Hello and welcome!
Thank you for your interest in my Christian books!
In the Shadow of Emerald Fire is my debut YA medieval Christian fantasy series.
Its premise came to me in the most unlikely of ways-a daydream while listening to one of my favorite soundtracks, Braveheart.
Couple this with my lifelong love for Celtic culture and medieval literature, and what followed was a blending of both the Celtic and medieval worlds I knew into the fantastical setting that is Evanthia and Valínthia-lush lands from which it was difficult for me to return.
As my heroine’s story unfolded, I realized I wanted to create a book that reflected the old-world charm of classic literature (mainly British literature). I wanted to write a book I would have loved reading growing up. Therefore, I incorporated rich description, authentic and believable dialogue, and, of course, all the thrill and excitement of the old action and adventure, mystery, intrigue, chivalry, sword play, and battle that is expected in a medieval tale.
But I couldn’t forget to add all the clean romance I could muster either. The kind that’s pure and unadulterated and yet still left me a touch swoony: chivalrous romance where both parties respect each other and ultimately seek the good of the other person. This embodies my vision of true romance. A relationship of beauty and grace that only Christ Himself could establish between two redeemed people, despite the odds against them.
All this I hoped to create for myself and readers-kindred spirits who are desperate for Christian books containing morals, principles, and virtues without all the unnecessary spice.
As so many others already have, I hope you, too, will find I have achieved that goal. I hope you are swept away into an immersive world in which you feel the same as I-that you don’t wish to return. That you long for the same chivalry and beauty to be reflected in our world. And while that cannot yet be established, except by Christ Himself, I do hope that you will find in my books a reprieve from the current world in which we live, the inspiration to continue standing firm against the evil we daily face, and the enduring hope that the peace, beauty, justice, and chivalrous virtue we all long for will one day be attained through Christ alone.
Until that day, I pray you find my stories the safe haven you’ve been searching for while we wait for the blessed return of our Lord and Savior!
God bless, and happy reading now and always! xoxo
