"For ages the angel Snow desired a chance to join the heavenly choir. From the time of creation her job was to usher in the beginning and end of winter. Every snowflake was guided by her and found its final resting place by her hand. When the Earth was consumed with fire on the last day of time, she tasted bittersweet victory. Her role was complete and soon the new reality of aftertime would wipe away all that came before. The only blameless regret a perfect angel could have is never proving herself worthy of promotion.

But at the very last hour an assignment from on high was delivered to her. The mission was to enter the Creator’s vault and account for the contents inside. This vault housed everything man forgot until the end of time: a family heirloom, a dream, a greatest fear, and each mistake lost to memory. She accepted this quest without hesitation and entered in at the minute she was told. What she didn’t expect was the vault to take on a life of its own or the forgotten monsters working to cover up the evidence of their wrongdoing.

The end of another world drew near."

Spring of 2025 was the 10 year anniversary of my earliest story concepts for Where Things Went. I am on track for a release in Spring of 2026. It will be a shorter novel compared to the door-stoppers many modern fantasy books have become. While it is the first book in a series, it is not only an introduction but also a complete story in and of itself.

I have gone through a long learning process to develop this fantasy world from scratch and tell a compelling story at the same time. I never thought it would be this challenging or this rewarding. I was overly ambitious as an imaginative young man and have been humble quite a lot over the years. At the same time I have learned that I'm not very good at giving up. I will release this book no matter what. If I could name the single greatest inspiration for the story it would certainly be the Worlds album by Porter Robinson. I am tremendously excited to share this passion project with you when it is ready and hope you will have half as much fun reading it as I had writing.
