ABOUT JOSHUA AND THE ARROW REALM:
On August 30th take the lightning road back to a world of beasts, bandits, and heroes in book two of
the Lightning Road series. Join Joshua in a new fight for power in the Arrow Realm. Can Joshua and
his friends conquer an unstoppable evil?
Joshua never thought he’d return to the world of Nostos but is soon called to the Arrow Realm to
free his imprisoned friend, King Apollo, kidnapped as a power pawn in Queen Artemis’s quest to
conquer every realm. With his loyalties divided between our world and theirs, Joshua wonders
whether he alone can restore magic to the twelve powerless Olympian heirs and save all those
enslaved. But when he finds himself abandoned in his quest, he fears he cannot only save those
imprisoned—but himself as well.
“Fast-paced and endlessly inventive, Joshua and the Arrow Realm is a high-stakes romp through a
wild world where descendants of the Greek gods walk beside you, beasts abound, and not
everything—or everyone—is as it seems.” ~ Michael Northrop, New York Times bestselling author of
the TombQuest series

Here's an EXCERPT:
A faint rumble groaned through the whistling wind.
Boom!
Thunder ripped the sky overhead.
Charlie reached the frozen pond, spinning across it. “Woohoo! I win! You Americans can’t beat us at
speed!”
Lightning flashed. It zinged across the pine trees like brilliant sunlight. A seed of terror flickered
inside me.
Boom! Boom!
Another flash scorched the sky.
Charlie’s smile fell to a frown as he raced across the ice, peering up into the swirling clouds.
We both knew what lightning could do.
Suddenly, sneaking outside for a moonlit sled ride before Bo Chez got home from his monthly poker
game didn’t seem so smart.
The sleet turned to snow. Icicles flew off trees like glass splinters, shattering on the hard snow. As I
shot toward the pond, a tree on the edge moved. Its branches swayed in the swirling snow.
It wasn’t a tree, but a girl! She stumbled through the mad flurry, arms outstretched.
“Charlie, look!”
Gusts snatched the words away as my sled hit the ice and careened out of control on the bumpy
surface. The girl staggered and fell onto the pond. I twisted my sled away to avoid hitting her and
smashed right into Charlie. With a yelp, he pulled me up, and we clumped toward the girl. We lifted
her up, half dragging her back up the hill to the house in the pelting snow and sleet.
“Who is she?” Charlie yelled.
“No idea,” I yelled back.
He said more, but his words were lost in the wind.
My lungs burned with the cold and effort. There was only one reason someone would appear with
lightning—to steal us. This girl might appear like a waif unprepared for a storm but I couldn’t trust
that’s all she was.
