Bran the Blessed

by William Woodall

Overview

Brandon Stone is a sixteen year old football player in small-town Texas, with some serious love and trust issues because of his mother's untimely death and then getting abandoned by his father. It all comes out in the form of a surly temper and a rebellious streak a mile wide, traits which have caused him plenty of trouble in the past.

But Brandon is no ordinary kid. He has the bright blue eyes that mark him as a Curse-Breaker - someone God has called to fight against the powers of evil in the world, however unlikely a destiny that may seem. Bran's only wish at the moment is to live a simple and quiet life at his sister's ranch, playing guitar at church and coping with his inner demons as best he can. High and noble causes are the last thing in the world on his mind.

Lana Krisanova is a beautiful Russian exchange student who plays piano and serves as the water girl for Brandon's football team, with her own set of thorny problems to deal with. The two of them share an unlikely and surprising bond which no one ever anticipated, but when a moment of weakness leads to an unplanned pregnancy, both their lives come crashing down in ruins.

Or so it seems. But God's purposes don't always unfold the way one might think, and even though the world can be a cruel place for a Christian who stumbles, Brandon still has a high calling to answer. . . if he can find the courage.

About the Author

I've been writing stories almost since I was able to pick up a jumbo crayon and put words on paper. I love what I do and I feel blessed to have the opportunity to share these tales with my readers.

My work is typically classified as young adult literature, if only because the stories are clean and most of the characters are young. There's more to it than that, though.

Every book I've ever personally loved has been what I'd call ageless. That is, it contains something that can touch the heart of a child while he's still too young and raw to appreciate subtlety, but there's also something in it that he can still feed on when he's old and gray, although perhaps not the same things. It's my aspiration to write stories like that.

In fact, the majority of my readers are adults who want to read something that will uplift them and make them feel glad to be alive that day. We all need beautiful stories, and without them we suffer.
