“Fiction is to the grown man what play is to the child. It is there that he changes the atmosphere and tenor of his life.”
ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON: “A GOSSIP ON ROMANCE”
Who we are:

Tim Vander Meulen
I have been writing fiction from a young age, and have always been one for a good adventure story. Friends and I as children used to play outdoors pretending we were pirates or warriors or adventurers in a far-off land. Books which have influenced me range from the fantasies of MacDonald, Tolkien and Le Guin to classic tales from the likes of Kipling, Poe, Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, not to mention the oldies such as Homer and Beowulf. As for writing about literature, I owe much to the creative minds of C.S. Lewis, Leland Ryken and others who have found a way to relate the Christian artist to his craft.

I have always loved learning. My secondary and undergraduate studies centered on the STEM subjects in part driven by the desire to know and understand how things worked. Exploring philosophy and theology has opened my mind to the fundamental questions about reality. I have loved reading since I was little, especially fiction. Authors that approach these fundamental questions within stories, Lewis, Tolkien, Milton, Tolstoy, and Dickens to name a few, have had a large impact on me and helped inform my perspective. Since 2024, I have been traveling around the world. Along the way, I discovered a passion for writing and to catalog and share what I have observed and learned about reality; how all the different areas and pieces of life fit together as a whole.
