Ordered this before I realized that it was written by a priest (not that that is a bad thing necessarily, just didn’t realize it!). There’s better scifi/fantasy books written by Christian authors (or ones with a religious slant).


So because the author is a priest the stories are written with a Christian filter. I do wish there was an editor (or a better one!) because the writing comes off very stilted/like how school kids write stories.

The first story was about a kidnapping and very abruptly says that “it was done by the aliens!” and describes the aliens very matter of factly for a paragraph or two and then ends with “well the aliens were bad because GREED” and ends there.


Applaud the author for publishing but would need a further pass from an editor.

Released for Black history month


When he looked up again Tas had gone. Rising to join the others, he caught sight of something small and abandoned on the floor. "Tas you forgot your pipe." He picked it up and then saw words carved into the wood he had not seen before. Find the music, find the magic.
"Did you carve this?"
Tas did not turn. "Yes," he said, reluctantly. "I have to leave it."
"But, Tas, why?"
Tas squared his shoulders as though firming some resolve. But still he did not turn. "Because the shepherd said that it could only be used once. Thats why I can't get the pipe to play that song-or any song. I've used the magic." He took a deep breath and went on. "And he said that once I found the magic I had the pass the pipe on." he paused and then he did turn, a scamp's humor in his long brown eyes. "It's going to be a long winter. I'm going to leave it here for someone else to find." "Snowsong" by Nancy Varian Berberick
