My new book, The Land of Ah Book One: Autumn and the Octopus -under the pen name Arden Wayne- is now available as a paperback and on kindle. I feel this is my best work, and as I work on Book Two, I grow more and more excited. These books deal a lot with the LAW of ATTRACTION, how our thoughts create our reality, but they are also very grounded in nature. The category is Young Adult Fiction Fantasy/Action and Adventure, but there is no “magic” or anything that stretches what could actually be real. I wanted it to be something that could be enjoyed by the whole family, kids as young as 10 have enjoyed it as well as adults.
Set in a mysterious land with fictional but realistic people, animals, and plants, it’s a fun and thought provoking action and adventure story that is sort of a cross between Indiana Jones and the Never Ending Story. You might say it’s also like Harry Potter meets Willow meets the Emerald Forest.
One of my main inspirations for writing it was the idea that what if there was more land out there somewhere, not in outer space, but something more accessible. What if all the land had not already been discovered? To me that just lights up the imagination, especially from the angle of different plants, animals, food, and the people and how they interact with these ecologies.
I know a lot of my foraging and permaculture fans don’t read fiction, but I implore you to try this one.
