Books have been my companions for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mother did something truly magical — she enrolled my siblings and me in our local public library at a very young age. That simple act opened a world of wonder for us. I still remember the thrill of taking turns to read the same book, eagerly waiting as each sibling dove into another universe before passing it on. From the bold heroes of Marvel and DC to the thrilling mysteries of the Hardy Boys, and the vibrant, humorous world of the Archies, our childhood was a shared journey through stories.
As I grew older, my appetite for storytelling expanded. Science fiction became my playground, and then came Harry Potter — a series that completely blew my mind. The way it blended magic, mystery, and emotional depth sparked something powerful in me.
Now, years later, as a father to two beautiful little souls, I find myself dreaming up stories once again — only this time, they're my own. One particular story had been kindling inside me for a long while. It stayed with me — evolving, growing, whispering to be written. So, I finally did it. I penned it down. And now, I want to share it with you.
My book series is titled Kindled by Magic, and the first installment is The Concordia Sanctum. It's a journey into a world shaped by imagination — one that's brimming with magic, mystery, suspense, and the echoes of ancient wonder. My deepest hope is that it sweeps you away the same way those early stories once did for me.
I'd love to hear from you. Connect with me and let me know what your experience has been like with my book — your thoughts, your favorite moments, or even just a hello from one fellow dreamer to another.

Nora opened her eyes. They stood in a vast hall beneath a towering dome of crystal light. It was unlike anything Nora had ever seen. It was a city beneath stone—a labyrinthine world of wonders. Corridors arched out like rivers, each glowing with its own muted light. Hidden lifts shimmered into existence when needed, ferrying travelers to unseen levels. Glass-like tunnels stretched across vast underground chambers, bustling with magical beings from every nation. Some corridors led to academies, others to council halls or artifact vaults, and deeper still—to secret sanctuaries.
— Excerpt from Born of Two Realms
The story unravels like a puzzle — each chapter a vital piece, revealing hidden connections, buried secrets, and a larger design that only becomes clear as the layers fall away.
The use of real-world mythos like the Great Pyramid of Giza mixed with fantastical creations (like Lake Mirraquell and Calmara's Span) grounds the magic in a sense of ancient history, making it feel both timeless and believable.
Beneath the fantasy lies a story about family, longing, and self-discovery. The emotional core gives weight to the adventure, making the stakes personal and the victories deeply felt.
An epic fantasy series that will transport you to realms where magic flows through every page and adventure awaits around every corner
