World Peace is a Choice
The world seems to be holding out hope that a single peaceful leader will rise up and show us the way. The Peace Strain series goes against that slightly unrealistic hope by showing a path that even the least empathetic, least peaceful characters can follow. Peace doesn’t require a superhero leading the way. Peace does not require a superpower; it requires leadership and a decision.
For the agent or manager who represents the Peace Strain series, I am offering a gripping tale that hits home on the big ticket issues facing young people in the world today. The book will, of course, need developmental editing, line editing, formatting, etc. I’m open to professional feedback on ways to make this story even more outstanding. To me, and hopefully to you as well, the most important thing a story can do is change the world, even just a small part of it. With these books, I want to send a message of hope to readers who may be struggling with the same issues as the characters.
The Peace Strain series is fresh and inventive without trying to be edgy. The writing is thoughtful, clear, clever, and beautiful on a line level. The well-crafted sentences comprise a compelling, memorable voice and a distinct point of view. The series is character-driven literary fiction that embraces genre fiction, particularly coming-of-age narratives, ensemble casts, and questioning religious tradition tropes. Featuring marginalized characters and underrepresented points of view, each book utilizes unconventional storytelling methods to grab readers from page one.
The Peace Strain series has sharp hooks, with relatable, distinct voices from likable characters whose emotional stakes drive the plot.

The hope that people seem to be seeking is for one peaceful leader to rise up and show them the way. The Peace Strain argues directly against that theory and uses the least empathetic and peaceful character to show a path we all can follow. Peace does not require a superpower; it requires leadership and a decision.
For the agent or manager who represents the Peace Strain series, I am offering a gripping tale that may be the most important message we can send today.
