I've always loved reading fiction books, especially ones that take place in the medieval era. The fantasy genre became a quick favorite of mine. As I've grown older, due to convictions that God has given me, I've shied further and further away from books that contain magic. However, it is very hard to find any good medieval fiction books that keep away from magic, even in the Christian realm. So that is one goal with this trilogy: to create a compelling and exciting story filled with fantastical places and creatures while keeping away from magic.

Another goal for this story is to include the actual Bible in this story. Many Christian fiction stories have a book equivalent to the Bible, but not the Bible itself. The main reason for this is because in a made-up world, the peoples and history within the Bible don't exist. My solution to this problem is that in The Woodcutter Trilogy, the eastern continents in our world exist. However, the story takes place on the western continent, a land of my own creation. This way, I can keep the accuracy of the Bible within my story, while still being able to create my own lands and history.
