A mythic fantasy journey for readers who love atmospheric worlds, portal fantasy adventures, and character-driven storytelling.

Psychopomp: The Astral Thread is a unique two-in-one volume that blends a practical fantasy writing guide with a richly imagined YA portal fantasy novella. Perfect for fans of magical realism, surreal underworld adventures, and stories where symbolism, dreams, and myth shape reality.

The first half explores the craft of fantasy through the lens of the Psychopomp, guiding readers through world building, archetypes, mythic structure, and the creation of immersive fantasy realms. It is an inspiring companion for writers who want to build emotional, atmospheric, and meaningful stories.

The second half delivers The Astral Thread, a standalone YA fantasy novella filled with whimsical creatures, dreamlike landscapes, and high-stakes emotional tension. When seventeen-year-old Ileana DaMoore follows an Astral Thread into an impossible underworld, she enters a realm of carousel kittens, reindeer elves, sentient music, and ancient powers. To save the boy she loves, she must face Maitre, the Overlord who believes humanity will destroy every world they touch.

Together, these two works create a seamless experience: learn how myth is built, then step into a story that brings it to life.

Ideal for readers who enjoy: YA fantasy and portal fantasy, atmospheric character-driven stories, mythic symbolism and magical realism, underworld adventures and surreal world building fantasy, writing guides and creative craft books

A perfect choice for fans of Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, The Night Circus, and The Golden Compass.
