What happens when a brush with death ignites creative purpose? Today's guest—known only as "The Grand Writer"—never shows his face but pours his soul into every page he writes. After a severe battle with COVID-19 in 2020, he embraced a powerful truth: we get just one life on this planet, so why not live it fully?
The transformation propelled him from keeping his high school novels hidden (which he jokes will be buried with him) to publishing 15 books in just a few years. His flagship series, "Epic, the Shield Knight," follows Lucas, a young man wielding a magical shield that transforms to meet his battle needs—from ricochet shields to battering rams and even a biting turtle shell that slows opponents. Behind the fantasy lies profound inspiration from the biblical story of Moses, weaving themes of divine calling and reluctant heroism throughout the adventure.
Beyond his main series, The Grand Writer delights in comedic storytelling with "Triple the Tom Foolery," a four-panel comic featuring three versions of himself: creative, hardworking, and inexplicably British (though he admits with a laugh that he's "not British at all"). His approach to creativity balances passion with practicality: "If you're good at something, never do it for free. However, you can do it for cheaper pricing." With seven books now in his Shield Knight series alone, he's fulfilling his mission to create meaningful stories that resonate—and he's just getting started.

Whether you're a comic book enthusiast, fantasy reader, or simply someone seeking inspiration to pursue your own creative calling, his journey from illness to artistic purpose reminds us all that every breath is an opportunity to create something extraordinary.
