The concept of storytelling has always been an integral part of human society. Whether written or orally spoken, the ideas presented through words have defined everyone from the smallest individual to entire ethnicities and cultures. All of human history is marked by multitudes of examples of the power of words, from "Give me liberty or give me death!" to "It is finished!" Nations rise and fall through the working of words, the course of entire civilizations can be altered by just a single phrase, and with words, we create worlds within our own.

​

The power of words shouldn't come as a surprise, nor should they be underestimated. After all, our immaculate universe was created in an instant through the uttering of words. The point? What you say matters. What you speak to others, how you communicate the aspects of your worldview to them, has tremendous consequences often beyond what you can imagine. So when you speak, what you say had better mean something. Something with both value and truth. At the end of time, all will be judged for their words.

​

Storytelling is the act of presenting ideas in words designed to have an effect on those who hear it. But over the centuries, as the number of authors and stories continues to grow, fiction storytelling has largely departed from its roots and consequentially often fails to impact readers in a positive way. Today, most books are devoid of any meaningful purpose of being written, as authors continue to back away from making their work stand for anything eternally truthful or meaningful to avoid rejection. Without a clear, truthful stance taken by the author through their work, what they say provides little if no amount of inspiration and impact.

Conviction is the foundation for any great author, before the stories themselves are ever written. It is my goal in writing to make this conviction apparent to readers, to inform them accurately through the power of words about the world we live in, even by use of fiction. Fiction is not just about creating an escape from the real world, a peaceful refuge from life's worries. I create worlds and stories for the purpose of enabling and encouraging those who read them to respond to their worries and problems in such a way that will improve their own lives as well as those they touch. Whether the story takes you on the wings of dragons or to the darkest caverns of the earth, my aim is to inspire readers to grow in conviction and make decisions that will benefit their lives both here on earth and eternally.
