About#

Palace of Mirrors is a science-fiction audio drama narrated in an audibook style. I started writing it shortly after graduating from the University of Idaho, actually the very earliest ideas for it formed when I was in high school. Back then I just had an idea for a science-fiction story about a boy discovering an ancient starship that had to be destroyed, sort of like a sci-fi version of Lord of the Rings.

It’s come a long way since then and gone through multiple drafts. The result of that work is that I have about a book and a quarter finished, out of a planned three books.

So, why a podcast?

Well, for a lot of reasons I doubt I’m ever going to get to properly publish the books. I have some projects that I think I could get published at some point, but The Palace of Mirrors trilogy is frankly, well, it’s kind of weird. Its a mishmash of a ton of different genres that don’t usually go together and it’s slow and moody—sometimes to a fault. But for all of that it’s a story that really means a lot to me. There are some really amazing scenes, moments that I want to share with people. I also really want to finish it and I needed something to motivate me to get it done.

I love reading, I love listening to books, and I realized that a podcast was a way that I could put those two things together to create something I could share.

Hopefully there are some of you out there who like weird, moody, worlds where swords can talk, captains of starships can be knights, and where everyone worships a mysterious palace—not the people in the palace, but the building itself.

The Palace of Mirrors is a podcast, but it’s also a special place, a place where the past and the present meet and where stories and truth come together.
