When a young Elf named Keagle meets a wise wandering wizard called Mannus, his small-time adventures become a grand one in this thrilling and epic action-adventure fantasy of one world uniting against an ancient evil.
In the world of Astorynia (Astor-eenie-uh) as war is ever wavering on the horizon, a group of companions, led by Mannus, travel the lands to bring together and unite the armies of Elves, Gnomes, Dwarves, Gruflyn, and Man against the ever-growing evil that is spreading.

My Story
Growing up as the middle child, I often found myself vying for attention, and art became my outlet. Whether through dark, expressive drawings or grunge-inspired music, creativity was how I connected with the world. But it was writing, often funny and lighthearted stories, that truly stuck with me. Over time, my short, incomplete stories grew into longer, more meaningful works. At twenty-four, I made a decision: I would finally write something serious and finish it. It took years of starts and stops, but in 2019, I committed fully. I took time off, woke up early, and spent two focused weeks writing every day until it was done: a full-length novel and six prequels.

For over twenty-five years, I’ve worked as a professional chef, from small-town sports bars to high-end restaurants across the U.S., bringing creativity to every plate. But no matter how busy life got, I always made space for writing. It's something I've done since childhood, when I typed up silly stories to make my siblings laugh. Today, I’m proud to share the result of years of imagination and persistence The Legends of Astorynia: War of Wars Ending the first in a seven-book series. I loved creating it. Now it’s your turn to enjoy the journey.
