Featured Author
Jeremy P. Madsen writes clean, family-friendly fantasy stories with spiritually resonant themes.
As a child, Jeremy eagerly devoured the stacks of library books his siblings brought home. But he was too timid to check out books for himself. He had no idea which stories on the shelves were clean, and which would violate his standards.
Luckily, his siblings had excellent tastes, shaping his love of fantasy through series such as The Chronicles of Prydain, Narnia, Redwall, and Fablehaven. By 8th grade, he was writing his own stories—often acting out fight scenes with a cape and a plastic sword.
In college, Jeremy’s worldbuilding was shaped by his major, ancient Near Eastern studies. As he witnessed the rise of grimdark fantasy and the publishing industry’s continued decline in standards, he swore he would write stories that are uplifting, clean, and safe for all readers.
Besides his author career, Jeremy works for BK Authors, Inc. and Berrett-Koehler Publishers. He lives in Columbus, Ohio, with his wife and three children. He still wears capes.
Narrator
Karyne Norton hasn’t found the key to time travel, immortality, or infinite lives, so she’s taking a break from nursing and photography to focus on raising four human beings while writing epic fantasy.
