The Amber Ghost

Carson Halloway and the Amber Ghost is one of Garvin's passion projects. “I've thought about this story for years. I grew up on science fiction and fantasy books, films, and comic books, but my love for the genre goes back even further than that, to YA novels like Madeleine L'Engle's Wrinkle in Time series, which was unlike anything I'd ever read.”

“I had this idea about a spiritual story about life after death, but creating a world not based on Christianity, something that while not science based, was at least, for me, plausible. Yes there are beings, and good and evil, and powerful forces at work, but I don't have the typical tropes of angels, judgment, Satan, etc.”

While the first novel in the series is done, much work remains. “Halfway through writing, I realized that the book really wanted to be a trilogy. So I'm working on that. At the same time I discovered the world of comic strips and realized that the Amber Ghost would make a great strip. I'm having fun with it, anyway. I hope readers like it too.”
