The Story

Elara comes from a family of growers. With one hand on the soil she can hear what the garden needs. Lately, the soil is screaming.

Plants that should bloom have turned sorrowful. Animals are restless, the water is changing, and something is stirring in the woods the old people call the Midnight Grove. Elara has spent her life tending quiet places. Now she has to go looking for the answer.

She is not alone. Frank, a tamer of wild creatures, believes her. Rosie, a healer, follows her. A prophet in the mountains has been praying for years about a day like this one, and a navigator named Exodus keeps turning up at the edge of her path with answers he will not fully give.

Between one world and the next there is a veil, and Elara is learning that she can cross it. What she is not told is why she was chosen to, or who else has been waiting.

The People of the Grove

Read a Little

The wind rises first, not as a gentle stir but as a sudden, violent rush that lashes through the trees and snarls in the branches.

Leaves whip free in sharp, frantic spirals, striking Elara’s skin like cold hands. The whole forest seems to inhale at once, and then exhale with a furious roar.

Her stomach drops.

The ground beneath her boots shudders.

Not a tremor. A deep, rolling rumble, low enough to live in her bones.

The soil is screaming.

About the Author

Let me take you back to a time in my life when I was lost and searching for fulfillment in all the wrong places. I had been given the responsibility of being a leader, but my frustration with God led me down a destructive path. I turned to smoking weed and sought love in all the wrong places, unaware that the love I craved was always found in Jesus.

One night, after indulging in a blunt, something unexpected happened. I lost control of my mind and experienced an out-of-body encounter. It was a terrifying moment as I watched myself act irrationally, completely detached from reality. This was a shock not only to those around me but also to myself because I was known for being able to handle a lot without losing control.

In the midst of my confusion and desperation, I crashed into a curb. In that moment, as I struggled to comprehend the complexity of the pedals in front of me, I cried out to Jesus. I felt like my life was hanging by a thread, and fear gripped my heart. To make matters worse, I started hearing demonic laughter, mocking my choices.

But then, like a whisper in the chaos, I heard God’s voice so clearly. He spoke directly to my soul and said, “You have to stop this, we have a lot of work to do.” In that instant, I knew that it was God orchestrating this moment to shake me awake, to bring me back to my senses.

The impact of His words was immediate. I sobered up in that very moment, filled with a newfound strength.

Miraculously, I was able to make it home safely, although the challenges didn’t end there.

If you want to hear the rest of my incredible journey, filled with even more unbelievable events, I invite you to listen to my podcast, How to Defeat the Devil. I share the details of what unfolded that night and how it transformed my life forever.

Looking back at that fateful night, I am humbled by God’s intervention. He was always there, patiently waiting for me to turn to Him. Despite my rebellion and misguided pursuits, He never gave up on me. His love and grace flowed through that experience, and it became the turning point in my life.

Today, I stand before you as a transformed individual, dedicated to sharing the incredible power of Jesus Christ’s love and redemption. My story may have started with frustration, rebellion, and addiction, but it all led me back to what I was supposed to be. A leader! God has trained me over the years to equip His people and push them into their destiny.

Book One ends on a cliffhanger. Book Two is on its way.
