And here’s the Featured Author!

Visit us on Sunday, December 22, 2024 at Studio Moonfall from 12pm to 3pm to meet Fantasy Author, Al Lytle and Toi Blasier.

Hang out at the shop and take a peek inside their book, Gates of Divinity: The First Light:

After the first war in Heaven, Lucifer's defeat and banishment was all but definitive. While peace reigned for a millennium, the Father of Lies dwelled in the void of the Pits of Hell. Fueled by vengeance and blinded by his destiny during his imprisonment, Lucifer plotted against those who would stand in his way. Upon his release, Lucifer sets off a series of events that draws the attention of a handful of angels as Heaven remains skeptical of any danger. In an unsanctioned mission to thwart Lucifer's plans, a small group of angels set off on their own. Do they have the fortitude to endure Hell's forces and convince Heaven or will Lucifer threaten all of creation?

Meet the dynamic author duo of Al Lytle, an independent pro wrestler with his own promotion and creative enthusiast, and Toi Blasier, an aspiring artist in his youth turned soldier who served multiple tours in the Middle East. Their paths crossed in 2018 at work, where they quickly bonded over many shared interests including storytelling and adventure.

It was Toi who revealed to Al the dream his wife had years prior, which sparked the concept for Gates of Divinity, a sprawling epic. Recognizing the enormity of the tale, they joined forces, combining their diverse backgrounds and talents to bring the saga to life. With their passion for creativity and collaboration, Al and Toi are forging a legacy in the realm of epic fantasy literature.
