Story Behind The Book
What inspired you to write your first book? When I first heard the Switchfoot song , "Meant to Live" (for so much more) it got me thinking about how far short many of us fall from our true potential. The trials and troubles of this world reduce us, and for me, most days, I feel overwhelmed, and it feels that the troubles of this world is so big. Too big. That was what Jules Blaze, the protagonist of Keeper of Reign felt. but he persevered and even though things did get worse for him, he never gave up. He kept trying and that's the message I would like young people to realize. If you keep trying, you will succeed. And that's what inspired me to write Keeper of Reign, to show young people that it's okay to feel small, but in the end, they can overcome this feeling and triumph in life.
