Resume (Position, Network/Production Company, Year, Location, & Description) - you can cut and paste your resume here

I am currently an author of YA fantasy books. Published through BookSurge Publishing, an Amazon.com company, and endorsed by Paul Mikos of B&H Publishing Group, my fantasy series, Webb Pages, was created to be a visual spectacle, and has drawn interest for possible publication as a series of graphic novels. These are not Christian books, per se, although they do showcase a strong “God” dynamic, and have recently been the subject of controversy among both Christians and Atheists. Let's face it; The Bible is full of elements that would make great fantasy fiction. Exploiting these elements to the fullest, but void of religious legalism, Webb Pages is simply about one boy's experience with a supernatural, mysterious, and sometimes troubling, God.

The first book in my present series, entitled Webb Pages: The Riddle of the Cherub Blade, has been called "Imaginative and a lot of fun" by Paul Mikos of B&H Publishing Group and "A breath of fresh air" by Sarah Huff of Creative Loafing.

I hold a M.Div. in Theology, a BA in Creative Writing, and I am currently represented by Terry Porter, a signatory agent with WGA.

Webb Pages: The Riddle of the Cherub Blade
Preteen Elijah Webb's secluded Appalachian valley is besieged by the freakish minions of a Dr. Moreau wanna-be. Why? Hidden somewhere deep within its folklore-enshrouded forests lies access to an enchanted world that exists just forty miles below ground, and Dr. Inimicus wants to infuse his horrific mutations with magic for the purpose of world domination.

Dr. Montague Watkins, scientist and one-time assistant to Inimicus, himself a victim of Inimicus’ research, is now forever part wolf and part man. A faithful friend to Elijah’s missing father, he is Elijah’s mentor and protector, sworn rival to Inimicus’ main crony, Beowulf, a twisted mix of animal, man, and machine. He and Nitsua, a troll prince from the underworld, whose brother has been captured and genetically altered as well, present Elijah with Rhema Logos, the fiery cherub blade sentinel that safeguards the secrets of the lost garden of Eden. She would be a powerful asset, but won’t be much help until her riddle, "Be still and know that I am God," is solved.

In the end, Watkins and Beowulf face off, the trolls and their magic are pitted against Inimicus’ mutations and their technology, and an overwhelmed Elijah is left wondering where his God is. When staring down the barrel of Inimicus’ powerful robotic laser, Elijah is asked, "Without science and magic, what's left?" As the key to her riddle dawns on him, he tosses the ostensibly useless Rhema Logos aside and replies, "Faith." A beam blazes from Inimicus’ weapon, but the cherub blade bursts into flames, rises into the air, and shields Elijah from incineration. Elihu the troll king then tunnels up from beneath and drags Inimicus below ground to face troll justice.

The adventure concludes as a large blue cyborgenic man falls from the sky with a message for Eli that he can't remember, as he is damaged in the fall.

Webb Pages: The Chamber of the Crystal Guardian
The Tusquitee folk are disappearing again, but how? Dr. Inimicus was defeated and taken into troll custody for his crimes against Nether Land. It seems Nether Land Prime’s sacred monarch, the Pegahorn, has now been kidnapped, and some of the trolls blame the overworld. Jedidiah, young Elijah Webb’s mentor and spiritual warfare coach, is killed while he and Elijah are retrieving the Crystal Clavis, a key that will unlock Crystalline Cathedral where the Pegahorn’s diamond-horse guardian is barricaded inside with the truth as to what really happened. To make matters worse, now Elijah hates God, and as a result, the cherub blade is once again irresponsive to his commands.

Elijah and friends, including Doc Watkins and Tungsten, the big blue cyborg, are led by a pumpkin-headed wizard named Eldoon into Nether Land to find the Pegahorn and return her to her chamber before she dies. An evil force called Crepus Shade, an army of demons in the form of Femorians and Nosferatu, seeks to thwart their quest, but is turned back when Elijah remembers his God, and Jedidiah and Rhema return with a host of elves, who are really angels in earthly form.

In the end, Elijah gets in to see Crystallion, the diamond horse, and discovers that one of Nether Land’s own sons, Nitsua’s brother, Emosewa, had locked Crystallion inside the cathedral and made off with the Pegarhorn in order to barter for Inimicus’ release from Summit Asylum.

The adventure concludes as the Pegahorn dies during the trade-off and Tungsten remembers the message he was to deliver to Elijah, a warning to not let Inimicus go. It seems only Inimicus, who has now escaped to who knows where, can revive her.
