From his earliest days J.K.C. Quinn would sit in Sunday school, enraptured by the heroism and drama of the ancient stories told. In later years The Chronicles of Narnia found its way into his hands; hidden beneath blankets long into the midnight hours. Novels became Quinn’s ticket to a universe without limitations, one of lush adventures, dark shadows, and valiant deeds. One day, when he discovered an old black and white photo. It pictured his grandfather standing tall and proud on his wedding day in a crisp, black sailor’s uniform. Grandpa had always been tight-lipped about his service in WWII—and humble to a fault, but Quinn was filled with curiosity. The two sat together talking for hours, and a history was unveiled that surprised the entire family. Just as importantly, it rekindled Quinn’s love of characters, adventure, and intrigue, and convinced him once and for all that life was too short to spend trapped inside a cubicle, his stories left untold.
Gyleon Brine and the Festival of the Calling is J.K.C. Quinn’s debut novel, and the first of the Gyleon Brine series.
