Preface

The way this book came about was a bit of a surprise for me. I was doing well. I was exercising regularly, eating well and feeling great! And then I started to notice some problems.

Eight days after noticing some pain in my eye, I was lying in an isolation room in the hospital, vaguely aware of the fact that I could die from my diagnosis of encephalitis.

As I lay there, spending my time thinking, praying, wondering about life and death, I thought to myself that I would write a bedtime story for my two sons, Liam and Ezra. I used to tell them stories all the time before bed and I thought it would be fun to type one up.

Perhaps it was due to the fact that my brain wasn’t quite right (encephalitis is a problem with the brain), but the story ended up being really weird. It also ended up being huge and after I was finished, I was encouraged by one of my first readers to publish it.

Since then, those who have read this book (children and adults alike) have either really loved the book or have been too uncomfortable to tell me it stunk. On top of that, two more books have grown out of this story and have turned this whole adventure into a series!

I hope you enjoy Arestana. It’s been a blast for me to write and a joy for me to share!
