This upcoming book, the first in a new fantasy series, is about 17-year-old Leopold Berry. After his mother's passing, Berry uncovers that the beloved “cult show” he obsesses over has started to intersect with the reality of his hometown. As Berry embarks on an adventure through the hidden corners of Los Angeles, the novel promises to explore themes of loss, triumph, friendship, and the enchantment of magic. It aims to convey the message that real heroes are not born, but made through choices, and sometimes, you must prioritize yourself even if you are not the destined hero.

Here is a statement from the author himself about his upcoming novel:
“I’ve always been drawn to portal fantasies in fiction. They feel like invitations to optimistic worlds where, ultimately, joy is possible, if only you can find the key. We’re living through some very heavy, very dark times—we have been for a while—and this story is meant to be an escape and a respite from darkness.”
Sunderworld, Vol 1: The Extraordinary Disappointments of Leopold Berry will be released on August 27, 2024.
