Seth Mullins has quite a few journeys to take you on. Today that journey begins with his new book – The Authors Of This Dream.
Author, poet and musician Seth Mullins draws on personal experiences and turns inward to craft the spiritually seeking protagonist Brandon Chane in the upcoming visionary fiction series “Edge of the Known.” The first book in the series, “The Authors of this Dream,” debuts on May 11, 2021.
Brandon Chane’s life is spinning out of control. After an altercation outside a performance venue nearly proves fatal, he’s feeling at the mercy of dark forces threatening to tear his life apart. Even as a gifted poet and musician, his efforts to channel pain, frustration, and thwarted love into his music may not be enough to save him.
Then he meets Saul Mason, a crisis counselor with the soul of a medicine man, who insists that Brandon’s life and destiny are of his own making. With Saul’s wisdom and guidance, Brandon begins a turbulent path of healing and spiritual awakening.
But as his band, Edge of the Known, looks forward to a high profile Battle of the Bands in NYC, heartbreak and a crisis of faith threaten to derail their first big break. Brandon finds that the dream he’s worked so hard to achieve is not a cure-all for his wounds. Is there another more resounding answer to be found? The truth reverberates within Brandon and in the lives of the hungry, searching souls touched by his music.
Speaking with Seth gave me an inside look at his inspirations but also his creative mind. It’s clear that Seth is a deep thinking writer that puts emotion and intention behind every word.
When I asked Seth how long it took him to craft this particular story, I was shocked to learn that this story in some form had been kicking around for years. He tells me, “When I finished with the original ‘Edge of the Known’ series, I’d been living with the story for about seven years. Then I went on a major hike. I was on four different trails between Arizona, New Mexico, Florida and Appalachia. A lot of time to think and after living with the story that long, the scope of the whole thing just grew tremendously.”
Seth continues, “I sort of didn’t have the heart to go back and start over even though I had this vision of how much broader and deeper it could be. When I first contacted JKS Communications, Books Fluent and Book Forward, one of the first things they asked me “how do you feel about doing a new edition of the first book in the series?” As soon as they said that it opened up the floodgates.. ..I’m going to do it the way I’ve been envisioning it.”
Even as I finish this first in the series I am already excited to see what comes next and to continue on my own journey through Seth’s vision.
