Can you give us a book blurb so others will know what it’s about?
It is said that there was once a time of peace. A time when the sounds of swords clashing and shrieking cries of agony were not so familiar. This time was long ago and has passed out of the dreams of most. The rulers of the world are determined to wield their power with force to maintain their strength and wave their flags with pride. Asalandia was a country that took pride in the history of war. Thousands of history books were written, depicting heroes, winning battles against the evil Kastanarians, who wanted to invade, steal, and change their way of life. As Asalandia grew, diversity was inevitable, and some grew weary of the constant invasions, wars and flag waving. However, the wars went on and warriors kept battling. The smell of burning arrows and the sounds of sinking ships became oh so familiar. Kastanarian catapults launched huge boulders into Asalandian walls, crushing everything in its way. Asalandian ships sailed across the seas to Kastanaria to seek revenge and launched their brutal attacks. Blood poured and hearts stopped, and this became a way of life and death between the two nations. Many wondered if it would ever stop but none of them did anything about it and just thought it was all a normal part of life. Nobody questioned anything, they just let it happen, repeatedly. They did this for years and years until someone finally did something. Someone, from the most unlikely of places, did the most uncommon thing to start change. That someone was a young man by the name of Outis Everrett.
Can you tell us a little about the main characters?
Outis Everrett is an unimportant little known poet in the kingdom of Asalandia. He enters the kings first poetry competition and unexpectedly wins. The king sends him across the ocean to Kastanair to read his poem to the new President Penelope Chinwa. However, they get sidetracked and meet an unusual young Kastanarian woman, Gwenia Xiachung. She is on a mission to stop all meat production on the island of Syanthia. She is strong-willed but strangely optimistic girl who takes a liking to Outis immediately.
Where and when does this book take place?
The book takes place on two countries that have been at war with each other for thousands of years. All the characters play a part in bringing about change to the world.
Does your book carry a message?
Yes, that we really don’t have any enemies, our enemies are just made up but people who want to manipulate you and benefit from it.
What's your next project?
The Angelic Fallen takes place in the same world as The Wars Between, only hundreds of years later. It is about hybrid angels who reject their destinies.
