To the world, I am of no special consideration; I am no expert in this area. But what I do know is how to be entertained—what makes a good story and how to tell one. What I can offer to you is the same transporting passion and devotion that leads to a deep love for the craft of storytelling. I strive to create that same fire that so ignites the reader’s heart with each passing moment—the kind that leaves that wonderful lingering burn far after the final page is turned—the kind of literary marvels that so awakened me.
The Ember Within, the first installment of The Stoneclad Chronicles, takes us on an epic adventure where we learn the amazing power of faith, the humbling reality of self, and the sacred bonds of family. Do we dare chase after that which we cannot see? Is the burning within a desire for good or evil? Darkness or light? The burning has begun. The ember pulses within. The Stoneclad is waiting.
It is a series that is altogether other-worldly. The lengths Tolkien went to imagine and create a world of this caliber speaks a mere shadow of what you actually read. I strive to bring these depths to reality in my own series. As a reader, I need to be fully transported, and this series does just that like no other work of fiction can. It is the original by which I rate all other works. Read it, and be transported. Soon, you will realize that your barista doesn’t speak Elvish.
This brand-new unabridged audio book of The Fellowship of the Ring, the first part of J. R. R. Tolkien's epic adventure, The Lord of the Rings, is read by the BAFTA award-winning actor, director and author, Andy Serkis.
In a sleepy village in the Shire, a young hobbit is entrusted with an immense task. He must make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ruling Ring of Power - the only thing that prevents the Dark Lord Sauron's evil dominion.
Thus begins J. R. R. Tolkien's classic tale of adventure, which continues in…
In the same way that the Tolkien’s world of elves and wizards takes control of the mind and tongue, the world of witchcraft and wizardry encapsulates similar elements yet in a whole new light with the new language of muggles and incantations and the swish and flick of a wand. I once tried to explain Dobby, the elf, to a friend who had only understood elves from TLOTR series. I laughed, imagining our pint-sized elf shooting down dark wizards with Legolas’ bow and arrow. However humorous, a real truth lies within these pages. What makes our little friend stand out, is the power that comes in that small frame. These truths lie scattered throughout this story, and though hidden behind fictitious witchcraft and wizardry, the truth of light overcoming the dark prevails.

Bonjour mes amis et bienvenue sur l'île de Monte Cristo! I have read and reread this book in all the different platforms: print, digital, audio. And each time, I find myself completely immersed in the multitude of plots, characters, twists, and adventures. Some might find they need a road map to keep everything together. And to them I would say, welcome to reality in a fictitious world! How expertly Dumas brought this world of pirates, love, treason, and vengeance to life! The many plots drive the story in a truly radical and miraculous way, keeping its reader glued page after page.
The epic tale of wrongful imprisonment, adventure and revenge, in its definitive translation
Thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantes is confined to the grim fortress of If. There he learns of a great hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo and he becomes determined not only to escape, but also to use the treasure to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration. Dumas' epic tale of suffering and retribution, inspired by a real-life case of wrongful imprisonment, was a huge popular success when it was first serialized…
This is such a beloved classic for so many reasons, but the one that stands out the most is the ingenious mingling of fantasy and reality. How quite literally, a set of siblings are transported to another time, with other creatures and languages, another world. I love how, from the beginning, we watch and grow along with the characters. It is a treasure we do not always get with a single novel. It is why this series leaves a lasting imprint on the hearts of readers through generations.

This series inspired me more than anything else I have ever read to create for myself. It is the defining text for my own series. Peterson so expertly mixed unforgettable characters and seat-edging adventure with spiritual truths that resound no matter the age or intellect. It is a story that perfectly teeters the balance of fun and imagination with real truths no adult could deny. Once again, the world so captivates its readers that one walks away wondering if toothy cows might indeed graze the nearest pastureland.
