Writer of fantasy fueled by faith
Queen of Kwandun Island
(working title)
Imagine the cruelest, most terrifying creature in the world. Now imagine falling in love with him.
Kéra is the only female shipwrecked on an island ruled by all-male creatures. Escape is impossible and a beastly king demands a bride. Torn between fear and forbidden love, Kéra must risk everything to break free before the island claims her soul.
A sweeping tale of faith, survival, and the power of hope in the darkest of places.
Meet the author
Hello friends and travelers. I am J.J. Van Es, coffee enthusiast and card-carrying fantasy nerd. My perfect day would be at home sipping a latte in my Viking tunic, and wielding my golden-hilted sword like I'm going on a quest. I enjoy spinning tales that feel like they might have happened. Maybe? Shining light in the darkness without high paganistic magic.
The desire to create comes from our Creator, who gifted me with a world-building imagination. Writing is my way of giving back that gift to readers who enjoy exciting new realms where fantasy entertains and redemption matters.
