The Pan: Experiencing Neverland
Picture
Take a journey with one of the world’s most popular orphans, Peter Pan, as he leaves his native land, England, in search of adventure. Traveling across the Atlantic Ocean, Peter makes some new friends and villainous enemies as well. Eventually, he discovers the place where a boy should never ever be—Neverland: The land of pirates, natives, zombies, missionaries, and Wendy’s orphans, the Lost Boys.  And while Peter vows to never grow up, he can’t help but to mature into a young man, faced with the attraction of a beautiful young woman. But Peter’s entrusted with a secret: He can stay young forever, after all. He only needs to discover the clues to finding and unlocking the Fountain of Youth, while battling the dreaded Captain Hook for the same prize.  

Matthew Hawk Eldridge’s version of the Peter Pan story is a dark, humanistic, yet innocent adventure, dipped in realism with true settings and believable characters. Join Peter, Wendy, John, Michael, Tiger Lily, the Lost Boys, Captain Hook and many others as they fight their way from Neverland to the Fountain of Youth. This is not a fairy tale, but a historical action adventure following the life of the boy who refuses to grow up.

Saint Nicholas, the Christmas Story

From his early days as a monk working with orphans, to his final days as Bishop, this historical fiction fantasy novel details the life of the true Saint Nicholas, as never told before. In an effort to help the poor in Asia Minor, Nicholas makes a risky trip to Byzantium (soon to be Constantinople), but finds himself evading the evil Emperor, Diocletian, who tracks him down across the Middle East. Escaping to the mountains east of Byzantium and north of Myra, Nicholas finds a winter wonderland where a community of dwarfs live to escape cruel treatment from Rome. The little people are gifted craftsmen and entrepreneurs. The Bishop also falls in love with a beautiful woman, challenging him with the choice of leaving a life of celibacy for an intimacy of a more earthly kind. The Bishop discovers his monastery burned by Roman soldiers upon his return, and is later turned in by the Cardinal himself.
Imprisoned and sentenced to death, his only hope is the successor to Diocletian, the warrior Constantine. More than just an adventurous love story, SAINT NICHOLAS, THE CHRISTMAS STORY comes alive with the spirit of Christmas as we follow the world's greatest gift-giver, reminding us what giving is really about. ​
