Swells Over Still Waters (+Audiobook)

Welcome to the world of Yath, a varied seascape teeming with immense creatures and rife with floating islands. I have spent a long time creating this world and watching the stories unfold inside it — I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

SWELLS OVER STILL WATERS is a heartwarming tale of self-discovery, spiritual and interpersonal devotion, and confronting the past. It will appeal to readers of books such as the Brotherband Chronicles (Johnathan Flanagan), Tress and the Emerald Sea (Brandon Sanderson), and The Queen’s Thief series (Megan Whalen Turner).

This will serve as the navigation page for the novel as it is posted weekly. I will post a chapter every week for the entire year, and hopefully have an audiobook reading to accompany each chapter upon release. I did everything for this book myself, including the editing and the artworks, so I apologize if anything is low quality or amiss — some things don’t transfer well to a Substack post.
