Pilgrimage of Angels:

The Battle For Heaven Begins

Before the dawn of man, God brought forth many beings into creation. His first creations, the Titans, in their thirst and lust to be considered equals, waged an unending war against Him for their selfish desires to hold dominion over the Heavens and the newly created Earth. The Titans brought destruction and strife to the Heavens, so much so that even their own children, the Olympians, could no longer support such a destructive plague against the beauty that the Father had created.

With the Olympians swearing fealty to the Father, the Titans turned to new creations, beasts of hatred, and fire, with an unnatural lust for killing. To answer these Hordes advancements, the father introduces a new race, the Angels, and with them a hope and promise to extinguish the fires the Titans have brought to the Heavens. But the newborn angels must now make sense of this turmoil they are born into, a war they have no choice but to fight, while traveling through hostile territory to arrive before the Father’s throne. They must search for their purpose on this pilgrimage, while facing terrors of beasts and battle, and in doing so, find a way to bring an end to their Father’s war.

Beyond the Witch's Woods:

Book One of the Kingdom of Adair

 “They are an abomination; a blemish to nature,” the witch detested, and followed up with a spat to the ground. The Chief Inspector agreed to both points, but it didn’t bring him any closer to discerning why the King had sent him on this journey, nor, for that matter, why the powerful witch Gretchen had reached out to him. “I want you to fix this, John, before the next war begins. Or else,” she threatened. The Chief Inspector didn’t need that part to be explained; no one had trifled with Gretchen and lived to tell.

A week ago the Chief Inspector had been living a rather mundane existence in the Adair Kingdom, working under his longtime friend, Sheriff Orem Fisher. But an early morning rendezvous at the castle had put him at the front of an investigation with a mismatched cadre of individuals to verify if a hamlet of fisherman had indeed perished at the hands of the Old Goblin Nation. A nation that had gone dark nearly 100 years ago. Now he was pitted between the King’s mission and the witch’s bidding, while armed with a handful of spurious clues to investigate what actually happened. John finds himself in a precarious situation; who does he want to anger less and for which outcome
