About the Author

Hi all! I think the only thing harder than book blurbs is author blurbs, but here goes nothing. My name is S. A. Stevens and I have been obsessed with reading since I first learned how. Eventually that love turned into a desire to create my own stories. My first attempt was a fan fiction from Narnia.

I have always loved fantasy & mystery books (TV shows/movies is a little more varied). Growing up, I always had the Chronicles of Narnia, Sherlock Holmes, or a Nancy Drew Mystery in my hand. In high school, my best friend convinced me to read Lord of the Rings. That series solidified my desire to create worlds people could get lost in.

It has been a long journey to get here from that first fan fic back in middle school. I have never stopped writing completely, although I was forced to take hiatus' at times due to life throwing some curveballs my way. But last year I decided it was finally time to embrace this writing journey and see where it leads.

The World

“...Portals connect this world to the Human world. Different cultures have varying names for this realm, but the most common are the Dream Realm or Dreamworld.”

This world exists along side our own, connected by portals. Portals can be monitored, but are unpredictable by nature.Mythologies across our world have told tales of fantastic creatures and strange civilizations. At one point in time, our ancestors traversed these portals and returned with tales to share.

“My child, there is no way to return. This is your home now.”

Overtime, those in our world saw less and less portals. Theories abound why people from our world can no longer see them, but no matter the reason, the result was that some inadvertently fell into another world.Human cities were established within the Dreamworld as a refuge and place of safety for the displaced.

Additional Tales in the Dreamworld Chronicles

The Dreamworld Chronicles are constantly expanding. So far, there are ideas for about six books in the series and several prequel stories.

This section will continue to be updated more as new information is released! You can also check out Patreon or Substack for all of the latest details.

Codename: Magicless

Magic is the foundation of the world.
In ages past, it was locked away and has now been relegated to forgotten corners of myth and lore.

What happens when magic is suddenly lost from the world? What changes would happen to the world? Would there be a way to bring it back? Would there be consequences for that?These questions are at the heart of this story. As of right now, this should be a standalone story, but I am not good at telling a short story, so we'll see what happens.

The title is still be TBD, so it's being referred to by a codename for now.

Codename: Twin Suns

A civil war was a pivotal part of the worlds history.
Now, the only details that can be found of it are government approved narratives and relics that run counter.

The large scale war that changed the structure of the nation wasn't very long ago, at least not according to the official narrative. However, there's no one alive that experienced it.People are regularly abducted by government zeppelins, never to be seen again. For what purpose, only the government knows and they aren't telling.

The title is still be TBD, so it's being referred to by a codename for now.
