THE STONE TRILOGY

The Quest is a pilgrim’s story about an epic journey. The pilgrim is Cerulean, a long distance voyager who sets out to find the mystical city E’veden. The quest begins in a coastal settlement called Salmon Head, in the year 1066, After the Deluge. It is a poignant account of one man’s spiritual journey and his beloved Autumn Sky, set in the natural surroundings of Berin and Dorsal Islands that mirror the spectacular imagery of the Pacific Northwest as a metaphor for the author’s own spiritual quest. Discover the Valley of Dry Bones, travel in the “Copper Canoe” up the Swiftwater River, penetrate the Great Forest, cross the Great Sea, and meet the Copper Canyon Riders and the T’ucani of the far north. Hear the story of a mystical island “Fara’way” and summit Arrowsmith Mountain. All in search of E’veden, with the help of a Weatherstone and the white spirt bear. Discover the past as present written with a prophetic imagination. (Softcover, 639 pages, with drawings by the author. Amazon.)

Survivor is an epic story about Cerul, a ten-year old boy who survives a devastating raid on his village. It is a poignant coming-of-age tale in a land where history began in deep time along prehistoric coastlines before the Great Ice Age; a time when a landbridge connected two continents in the Pacific Northwest, a time of beginnings when good was poisoned by evil and all living beings were eventually destroyed. Were it not for one survivor, the story would have been lost. Survivor is about providence and redemption, from childhood to maturity, fabled Warlander stallions; a story of wrongful imprisonment, love for a princess, flight from an evil rival suitor of the princess, rescue, the coming of the ice, and a friend named Lun. Kaiyaland is where the events took place long ago. Survivor is a prequel to The Quest and Book Two of The Stone Trilogy.  (Softcover, 525 pages, with drawings by the author. Amazon)

The third volume of The Stone Trilogy is an epic account of the history of the Great Northwest coast, from time before time (“Survivor” the Story of Beginnings) to the era of Cerulean (“The Quest” a Pilgrim Story), to Cerulina, Queen of the Swiftwater People. Captured when she was very young, Cerulina was traded as a slave among coastal tribes until she escaped and found refuge among the Swiftwater, only to fall in love with Tika, son of the Chief. She became the people’s beloved Queen and gave birth to a son, Tiab, who led a remnant to escape the ravages of a wasting disease. It ‘s Story of Endings, love and pain, life and death, the tragic War of the Oaks, a villain named Va’nee, the white spirit bear, and the mysterious Koo Koo Sint, “who watched the stars.” It’s a quest for meaning and adventure that must sadly end (or does it?) before a new people settles the coast.  

A collection stories, myths, legends, and traditions of practices and ceremonies, gathered by Berin, the Master Mariner and his ship Erina during his coastal explorations of the Great Northwest. Written in Year 1, shortly after the Great Deluge and the destruction of the mystical island Fara’way, “Tales” offer a glimpse into deep time about a land of sleeping giants, magic scrolls, legendary chiefs, and ancient wisdom. This is the fourth book in the Quest Series.

The third Noah King novel of suspense, drama, murder mystery: Isabel, her friend Polly, and her mother Esther, are the victims of illegal cult practices in a polygamist community in the mountains of British Columbia. Abuse is tolerated as a woman’s duty in spiritual marriages or as child sexual toys for men in an otherwise innocent looking place called Shadow Ridge. Everything and everyone are exposed by ghostwriter Noah King, who gives a voice to those who are seldom heard: the innocent. Redemption brings healing, but is judgment of the law too lenient for the perpetrators? 

THE 5 TH NOAH KING GHOSTWRITER NOVEL: It was supposed to be a short vacation when an ill-fated US Broken Arrow nuclear bomber, a highly contentious repository for nuclear waste in Nevada's Yucca Mountain, and the secret Wedge Mountain Project north of Squamish, BC, collided. Add missing persons in the British Columbia Triangle, murder, suspicion. cover-ups, and a mysterious manuscript about Canada's nuclear program worth billions, you have a toxic mix in Noah King's chilling Ghostwriter expose and rescue of radiation volunteers, including an innocent bookstore clerk, a barista, and a surprise outcome.
