As the publication date of my dark fantasy novel approaches, I find myself caught in a whirlwind of emotions. It’s a strange and exhilarating mix of anticipation, anxiety, and sheer disbelief that my words are about to find their way into the world. “The Black Gate” is the first book in the Parable Saga Series– and will be available on November 12, 2024, on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and many other major retailers.
Writing this book has been a journey filled with late nights and countless cups of coffee, where characters came to life in my mind and plots twisted in unexpected ways. I poured my heart into every chapter, crafting a world where shadows lurk and hope entwines with the mundane. As the release date looms, I can’t help but reflect on what this moment means to me.
For me, this novel is a gift from God—a calling I never anticipated but have embraced wholeheartedly. Throughout the writing process, I often felt guided by a force beyond myself, as if the characters and their stories were meant to unfold in this specific way. It was a humbling experience to recognize that this journey was not solely my own but part of a larger tapestry of inspiration and creativity.
There’s an undeniable thrill in knowing that my story will soon be in the hands of readers. I imagine them turning the pages, feeling the weight of the dark themes and the flicker of hope that runs throughout. Yet, alongside that excitement lies a deep-seated fear—what if they don’t love it as much as I do? What if my characters don’t resonate, or the world I built falls flat?
But that’s the beauty of this journey. It’s not just about the end product but the connections formed along the way. The late-night writing sessions, the supportive messages, and the encouragement from friends and family have all fueled my passion. I’ve learned that every author’s path is unique and filled with challenges and triumphs, making it rich and rewarding.
As I count down the days, I’m focusing on the excitement of sharing my work and hoping it resonates with others. I believe that this story has the potential to inspire, to challenge, and to uplift—just as I felt inspired while writing it. After all, every story deserves to be told, and this is just the beginning of my adventure as an author.
Should you choose to invest your time, finances, and energy in this endeavor, thank you for joining me on this journey. I can’t wait for you to dive into my world and experience the magic in its creation. Here’s to embracing the unknown together and celebrating the stories that connect us all!
