They were stolen. They were broken. Now, they are Shadowbound.
​
Once a child of the Light, Gairynzvl has become a legionnaire of the Shadowbound—twisted by suffering, forged in darkness, and trained to hunt the realm that abandoned him. But deep within the curse that consumes him, a flicker of the Light endures. Betrayal is his only path to freedom, and his only hope lies with Ayla—a gifted seer whose touch can glimpse the soul beneath his shadowed form.
​
In the realm of Jyndari, where peace is sacred and magic breathes through every leaf and stone, Ayla has always trusted the Light. But when Gairynzvl's tortured presence begins invading her dreams, her empathy binds her to a fate she never imagined. Together, they must walk the fragile line between redemption and ruin, risking everything to challenge a legacy of cruelty that has spanned generations.
The Shadowbound is a lyrical, emotionally charged dark speculative fantasy about two broken souls defying prophecy, pain, and prejudice to reclaim hope in a world shadowed by fear. Perfect for fans of The Foxglove King, Dark Rise, and The Jasad Heir, this is the first volume in The War of the Veil trilogy.

​​
In a world clouded by conflict, division, and uncertainty, The Power of One reveals a transformative truth: every individual holds the potential to reshape society through consciousness and intention.
Blending scientific research, ancient wisdom, and soulful guidance, it explores how group meditation, focused compassion, and everyday presence can ripple outward—transforming families, communities, and even nations.
​
This is a book of remembrance. Of choosing stillness in a restless world. Of becoming peace in a time of noise.
​
The second half of the book is a lyrical myth—a story written in moonlight and memory. It follows a voiceless young man, E’Meyyin, born beneath a violet eclipse in a land where memory has been forgotten and silence has grown heavy. In a world where stars fall like tears and the wind speaks in riddles, he dreams in voices not his own.
​
Drawn to the ancient River Yuyay—a once-luminous current that remembers all things—he embarks on a journey upstream, seeking the forgotten language of peace and the temple where song once shaped the world. Guided by riddles, dream-beasts, and the echoes of the past, E’Meyyin learns that he is not cursed, but called. His silence is not emptiness—it is resonance.
​
His journey becomes a whispered legend of how one quiet soul reawakened a world that had forgotten how to listen.
Contemplating the Possible
An Exploration of Possibility
Preface
Just a place to start, really.
Spirituality is one of those things we all tend to skirt around, wanting neither to tread upon another’s toes, nor to put ourselves out on that proverbial limb through expressing what it is we believe. Whether we are right or wrong; whether what we believe makes sense or does not, we are typically very careful about sharing it. Often, we even limit what we share with our closest family or friends about our thoughts on those things we really don’t understand. It’s something we have been taught not to speak of and not to explore. Why? There are probably as many reasons as there are beliefs, but in my opinion the hush-hush only leads to greater quandary and all that unknown fodder can lead to some very negative outcomes. Because, for as many of us who quietly go about our lives, believing or not believing, there are possibly just as many who would raise their voices to defy all sense of proportion, and there are still others who go to extremes most of us might consider cataclysmic. Perhaps that is why the list of three things we never discuss in polite society exists in the first place: Money, Religion and Politics.
​
I am an average person living a so-called average life. I have neither a doctorate nor degree of any variety, but I do have more than a few years of life experience. I have laughed and I have cried; I’ve been married and divorced; I’ve been blessed with family and friends, and I’ve suffered loneliness, depression and the misery of guilt. I went to public schools and church on Sundays. Nothing in my experience makes me an expert of any kind. You might say, I’m just like you and, perhaps, you are much like me. We share a commonality in that we are human. We’ve lived, breathed, laughed, cried, and suffered just like a billion others. Yet, perhaps, like me, you’ve experience something during your few years of life on this fragile planet that you simply could not explain.
​
It is my belief that the unexplained exists for us to explore, to question and consider, not to fear; not to quash into silence and certainly not to dismiss. The unexplained is simply the margin of the page. The blank space that only some have written their thoughts into; a space where you, too, can scribe your thoughts. Throughout this book you will find many of the unexplained, curious, unproven notions that are similar to all human beings, regardless of race, creed, language, or social bias. We will cross over the threshold of what can be proven with scientific evidence and step into the realm of what is possible.
​
On this journey, I will shine a small light onto many unexplained phenomena. I might offer what I believe or think to be true about these unproven notions, as food for thought, as a starting point for consideration and conversation. I may even illustrate the idea through a brief fictional caption or short poem. What I will not do is provide any answers. This journey is not about answers. Rather, it is, as the title suggests, an exploration of the unknown. It is a book filled with questions. It is the wanderings and wonderings of my mind that I have chosen to share rather than keep to myself because, among the many things I accept as truth, I believe we learn through sharing. Sharing our thoughts, our feelings, our hopes and fears, which guides us toward understanding.
