The Forest

Upon stepping into a dark shed in the middle of the forest, twin brothers River and Terran are transported to a remote prison island in another world crawling with strong magic, hidden snares, and rogue creatures.

From the Author:

“OK…deep breath. Here we go. It’s time for me to venture into “new territory.” And no, this new territory doesn’t involve biohacks, supplements, or workouts.

Instead, I’ve dived into my love of fantasy with my first work of fiction, The Forest.

Part of me is excited to write this message to you, and the other part feels vulnerable and exposed as I officially introduce my passion for writing and very first work of fiction to the world.

I’m grateful to all my readers and to everyone who influenced and helped me get to this moment. In truth, I’ve actually derived a great deal of inspiration for this book from the questions I’ve gotten from people like YOU about life, health, fitness, spirituality, and natural living; and because of that, I’ve woven concepts such as survival, body science, parenting, breathwork, the elements of earth, air, water and fire, and much more into the story.

I wrote this book–the first of a planned series of fantasy fiction books–with the hope that, just like C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia or J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord Of The Rings, I will be able to enchant and inspire the world’s children and adults alike with a magical tale of a hero’s journey.

After all, it’s nice sometimes to take a break from social media, magazines, self-improvement, and health books–and to instead get lost in a fantasy world. (In fact, because of this, reading fiction is actually quite good for the brain and the imagination.)

It warms my heart that adults and children around the world can now lay in bed, gather around the fire, lounge on the couch, sit on the beach and read my new book, and with your help, your orders, and your sharing, the positive message and hero’s journey I’ve woven into The Forest will touch the hearts of as many folks as possible.

Thanks for reading!” — Ben
