Path of the Celts was never my original idea for a book series. Back in 2006, I had a character. He was called Xander and he was my anti-hero and in a way my alter ego. The cool badass side that I couldn't be. Fast forward a few years and Xander became my villain and in stepped Owen. Without this character, this novel doesn't exist. I'm so happy to have discovered this character, this voice, and this story that demands to be told. Although it is in the realm of fantasy, its core centers around tolerance of one another as humans no matter what someone may believe or worship. I've had a personal relationship with both Paganism and Christianity and those similarities between the two are highlighted throughout the series told in a really distinct way. If you enter this space with an open mind and absorb the message you'll find that we have more in common that you'd think and yes, we really all can get along.
