Redemptor Secret Origin

Once upon an orbit of planet Fait, a playful young girl and her flustered yet resourceful single father must endure sickness, encounter exotic creatures, escape a predatory government, and outwit a wicked wizard to survive just one more day. Having good spirits and bad spirits with them and against them in near equal power, together this endlessly creative family of two ventures to the shadow of Mount Veda to discover the secret origin of REDEMPTOR. But their lives shall never be the same.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

In the tradition of J.R.R. Tolkien with The Hobbit, Lewis Carrol with Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, J.M. Barrie with Peter Pan, I wrote the first draft of this over year, about a chapter a week, and read each new chapter to my daughter, from ages 4 to 5 (though I'd come up with some of the characters many years prior--and some, when I was her age myself!). Looking back now on that challenging personal time in our family, only the joy of this shared story experience shines through.

One Saturday morning, just for fun, we were drawing, and I did a picture of the main characters. Then, we colored it together. This was how the idea of it being an illustrated book began, and with the following years I've been refining the pictures, as well as editing the story with editor extraordinaire Maureen Green, who worked with me on the concept development and edited the final published version.

Now for Wattpad, I'm returning to it with brand-new illustrations, reworking some content, and am really excited to share it with whomever wants to read--but there's a special place in my heart for the #singleparents out there like me. I hope it can give you some extra strength and inspiration to strive to be the best version of yourself like my daughter inspires me, even when things seem at their hardest. There is light. There is laughter. I hope this adventure may resonate with you.

And now, REDEMPTOR ADVENTURES #1 - SECRET ORIGIN.
