Summer vacation was never supposed to be like this.

An investigation into the strange disappearance of their great-grandfather forces them to retrace his footsteps.

Inspiration for the book

My inspiration for The Last Shadow Gate came from my children. The relationship between the real life Naomi and Gavin is very similar to their counterparts in the book. They’re both older now but their experiences growing up as half-siblings is something that our family paid careful attention to. I wanted to share that relationship in a unique way and the book came from that. I’ve been a fantasy reader my entire life, with a strong affection for Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. My fantasy draws from there and I try and incorporate my own experiences.
