Sorry I’ve been missing. I’ve been busy lately.
I was writing a new middle-grade historical Christian fantasy—and along the way, I’ve created an entire world for readers to explore, set in 1885. There you’ll meet the Whitakers, discover what life was like in their world, and find things you can freely bring into yours.
Step back in time to a place where times were hard, the weather unsettling, and the world was changing.
Distracted by the changes and an upcoming celebration, Guy Fawkes Night, the world was about to miss one of the most amazing events in the history of the world.
All except the Whitakers.
In November 1885, eight children and three adults begin an unsettling journey to help eight strange kinds of animals—talking animals—escape through the middle of the night to a place no living person had ever known.
But time is ticking. If they don’t reach their destination by Guy Fawkes Night, they never will.
Welcome to Peckles-Wood Shire, where an adventure so amazing awaits—one acclaimed by:
“In truth, this book can reach classic status, Alice in Wonderland or Narnia. Timeless and enduring, long outliving us. That’s not something you see often.”
