The Alchemy of Metaphysical Storytelling:
Why My Pen Dances on the Edge of Reality
Being a novelist passionate about metaphysical themes is an alchemic endeavor that turns the ink of my pen into the elixir of universal understanding. Each word I write is a fractal part of a broader cosmic tapestry, a gateway into the metaphysical realms I long to explore and share.
My desire for metaphysical storytelling fuels an insatiable need to challenge the mundane boundaries of human perception. My pen doesn't merely write; it performs an arcane dance, conjuring ethereal landscapes where the soul wanders and wonders. In this liminal space, the mystical coexists with the mundane, and questions defying straightforward answers are welcomed and celebrated.
Each character I sculpt serves as a multifaceted gem reflecting the intricacies of human consciousness and the elusive nature of spiritual truths. They are my vessels for venturing into hidden corridors of existence, where the corporeal meets the incorporeal and where the material world bows to the spiritual realm.
Through my words, I invite my readers to unlock their intuitive wisdom, question societal norms, and delve into the ineffable mysteries that define our human experience. My stories are not just narrative experiences; they are shamanic journeys, cosmic symphonies tuned to the frequencies of the soul.
I find purpose and connection in this sacred storytelling space, knowing that each tale I spin becomes a metaphysical voyage for the reader, a lasting imprint on the human psyche. To write in the metaphysical genre is to partake in a timeless tradition of questioning, exploring, and transcending—each page is a stepping stone in the endless quest to touch the divine.

Between Two Gates is a novel of visionary fiction that opens with a death. This might seem an unlikely starting point for a novel, but this story represents a new beginning as the thirty-two-year-old protagonist's life stops from drug abuse and then experiences a transformation in the afterlife.
Samuel's spirit is welcomed by his grandfather, and the two embark on a quest that embraces Samuel's transitioning "...from your life on the Earth to the next stage of your existence."
The structure of the plot takes the form of a three-act production (sans the usual drama screenplay of character calls and responses). It features a wide-ranging spiritual flow, from Samuel's calling to traverse Gehenna's five realms to his confrontation with disparate forms of heaven, hell, and purgatory.
His wise grandfather calls his current abode a "...good place. A natural place where we continue to exist until that time when we’re called upon to make our return.”
Samuel's task is to embrace his destiny, rescue his great-great-grandfather from the dangerous entity Solomon, and confront his own karmic heritage while fielding angels and fairies alike.
The spiritual and ethereal nature of this metaphysical work requires of its readers a mind open to non-traditional concepts of the afterlife. Those harboring such inclinations will find Between Two Gates a wide-ranging, mind-hopping journey that offers tantalizing insights into destiny and life purpose:
“You keep trying to lure me. But you should know I am not the same naive soul I was when I arrived. I’ve learned much already, and you should know this: I want nothing to do with you or your kind.”
