An avid reader, occasional gamer, and amateur comparative mythologies scholar, he also uses this wide variety of life experiences to inform the characters of his fiction: Encounters with group dynamics, traumatic stress, recovery, morality, wisdom, destiny, faith, fear, forgiveness, cognitive dissonance, emotional grief, physical pain, and all subjects between have been incorporated into how his characters think, feel, and act in their world. Jeremiah D. MacRoberts is currently working on his 10 part "Swords of Faith" traditional fantasy series as well as the ongoing sci-fi "Starscape Chronicles." He also dabbles in contemporary adventure stories, absurdist dark comedy, westerns and Americana with a paranormal twist, as well as narratives about pastoral encounters and real-world ministry.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
