Queen of the Quantum Realm ~ Book 1 of the Nanosia Series

Secrecy is the Way of Mages

About this young adult Science fantasy Story

Hadley Town is about to wake up to a nightmare.

Jawan hasn’t seen his parents in eight years since the powerful Earth mage apprenticed him—and now he never will. They were struck down by the deadly purple plague that ravages Hadley Town.

When his master’s magic fails to find a cure, Jawan embarks on his own search and finds himself trapped in Nanosia, a world one billionth his normal size. The Nanosians mistake Jawan for their prophesied savior. When Jawan refuses to help them, the queen throws him into the dungeon.

Jawan knows he doesn’t belong in this world of living subatomic particles who reject him and just want to use him. He wants to go home but knows he must stay to stop the fire mage from his own world who is secretly plotting the destruction of matter in both worlds.

Follow Jawan's quest through Enchanting mysteries.

Excerpt from Queen of the Quantum Realm

"Plague! The purple plague!"

Jawan froze as a surge of panicked town folks rushed his way. He tried to figure out what was going on, but his heart raced as he picked up the hysteria of fifty wild-eyed faces, coming closer at a speed that only fear could drive them.

The summer sun shone down with indifferent brightness as farmers pushed slowpokes out of their way with pitchforks; and shopkeepers puffed along, trying to avoid the pitchforks. Children of all shapes and sizes ran ahead of women in long dresses ill-suited for running, much less escaping. "Fools!" an old man screamed. "You can’t outrun the plague." But he might as well have asked a whirlwind to stop and think its actions through.

A grocer abandoned his vegetable cart and darted down a side street. Tomatoes leaped into the air and stained the cobblestones blood-red as the horde raced on, heedless of anything in its way.

The only intelligible sounds Jawan heard over the staccato of pounding feet were piercing cries:

"The plague."

No. Not here. The plague was something that happened to other people, in other unfortunate places. "It’s here!" came a scream, slaying his only sustaining, but false, security. The purple plague had found its slow, malignant way to Hadley Town.

What Readers and Reviewers are saying

"A creative tale which makes its fantasy science fun."

— Kirkus Reviews

"A very exciting story that combines the quantum realm with fantasy in a natural, compelling way. Jawan faces so much stacked against him, yet you root for him every step of the journey. The world-building is rich and detailed, and above all, it’s just plain fun."

—Book Nerdection

Writing Queen of the Quantum Realm: The Story Behind the Book

At first, the idea of quanta was way over my head. I wanted to write a book that people would actually enjoy reading. Then a German scientist taught me the names and behaviors of subatomic particles, and I turned them into characters who came to life by refusing to do what they were supposed to do.
