In this interview, he talks with us about his inspiration behind writing his latest book, The Siege of Logon’s Bridge.

FF: Why did you begin to write novels?
Retirement and time allowed me to write the stories t hat I’ve had forming for years. I always wanted to tell stories to turn Christians’ hearts towards the Lord.

FF: What inspires your writing?
Good and evil. There’s something so pure and relatable about good and evil and fantasy novels. They’re the sort of stories I want my kids and grandkids to read, and want my name attached to.

FF: Are you planning more books?
I’m always planning on writing more. Telling my grandkids stories takes up most of my time, but I’ll make time to write as long as I can.

FF: What motivates your writing?
The Lord, my wife and kids, and of course the grandkids. The novels I write are a legacy to them, and to anyone who is reads.

Book Summary:
After King Elyon’s son, Prince Logon Xychirion, constructed a bridge over the Flaming Sword River, countless Carnalians have successfully escaped the doomed empire and found safety in the kingdom of Ecclessa. But the bridge is also rumored to be the entrance that King Elyon’s troops need to free Carnalia and regain his rightful ownership of the kingdom and its surrounding lands. Not to be overthrown, the evil emperor of Carnalia has set his sights on the narrow bridge and has plans to destroy those loyal to King Elyon once and for all.

As the Carnalian military make their plans for war, Artka and his brigade are ready to continue with Prince Logon’s plan, with Jeda and Bonu setting their sights on Logon’s Bridge and beyond. But things are not going as the brave troop hopes. As they near the ultimate battle between Ecclessa and Carnalia, they will be asked to risk their lives for a greater cause.

About The Author

John has worked as a stringer photojournalist for The Courier of Littleton, NH, and staff writer/photographer for The Caledonian Record in St. Johnsbury, VT. He has directed evangelistic Christian coffeehouse ministries, served as deacon and teacher in various denominational churches, pastored house churches, and, with his wife Beverly, been a youth group leader. John and Beverly were raised in evangelical churches and born again at early ages. They met in college, fell in love, and were married. Early in their marriage they were enticed to join “The Move,” a group that presented new and fascinating interpretations of Scripture. They soon became indoctrinated into their cultic teachings. Through the faithful prayers of family and friends they were delivered from The Move and its erroneous teachings. As a result, John became devoted to studying and memorizing portions of the Bible so he would know what the Bible said as opposed to basing his beliefs solely on what others taught. The Saga of the Singing Sword Brigade series is the outcome of the couple’s spiritual journey including their escape from deception. John wrote Inception to encourage believers to study and apply scriptural truth to their lives, engage in evangelism, and participate in the visible and invisible spiritual warfare around us.
