Welcome to the world of a fantasy writer. Here you will find thoughts about reading, writing, and the intersection of faith and speculative fiction.

In describing George MacDonald’s work in specific and mythopoeic writing in general, C.S. Lewis said, “It is in some ways more akin to music than to poetry or at least to most poetry. It goes beyond the expression of things already felt. It arouses in us sensations we have never had before, never anticipated having, as though we had broken out of our normal mode of consciousness and ‘possessed joys not promised to our birth.’ It gets under our skin, hits us at a level deeper than our thoughts or even our passions, troubles oldest certainties till all questions are reopened, and in general shocks us more fully awake than we are for most of our lives.” Mythopoeia, or fantasy fiction, opens our eyes to the unseen reality which is more real than that which our eyes can see. It expands horizons and awakens longing.

Fantasy does not merely awaken longings, it stirs desires that can only be fulfilled in God himself, by conveying the reality of and creating the hunger for the supernatural in a way no other genre does. Fantasy is fiction imbued with echoes of the numinous. In itself, fantasy is not the thing we yearn for, nor does it fulfill that yearning. It merely points the way down the road of Truth and invites the reader to embark on the greatest adventure of all time, which begins in life and continues throughout eternity.
