Book Description

“Since it is so likely that (children) will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage. Otherwise you are making their destiny not brighter but darker.”

C.S. Lewis

The heart of the universe hasn’t just been broken–it’s been shattered. A Protector, mistaken for a thief, has foreseen a world divided by courage and fear. Two siblings must navigate both the world they know and a mystic realm, where virtue holds the key to ultimate power. 


Caleb believed himself to be a typical 14-year-old until the day he received a gift that unlocked more than his potential. It revealed a world beyond his imagination. Together with his fiercely determined sister, Mila, he is offered a choice– one that could change everything. A choice that will test their courage, wisdom, and love. 


But they aren’t the only ones making choices. The quickening has begun. A new teacher, Professor Wisemen, has arrived at Remi Gauvin. His presence brings much-needed order to chaos—at first, inspiring hope. But Wisemen isn’t like other teachers. As Caleb and Mila delve deeper into their path, they start to wonder: Is there more to Professor Wisemen than meets the eye?


The balance of the universe has shifted. Two worlds are merging. Caleb and Mila must confront their fears, overcome obstacles, and ultimately choose who they wish to become. But as their power grows, they must see through illusion and uncover the truth… before it’s too late.  Will they illuminate or burn? 


Epic & Kimura is more than a thrilling adventure - its a call to uncover the hero within. Inspired by Stoic philosophy and real-life experiences, Fear of the Unknown challenges readers to embrace their own heroic journey. 


Where does reality end and the extraordinary begin? 


The Choice is yours.

Dare to discover the extraordinary.
Epic & Kimura: Fear of the Unknown


The journey begins Summer 2025.

MY STORY

My Story

Stoicism changed my life, and in turn, it changed my children's lives. ​

The greatest challenge in learning is not just knowing—it’s living what we know.  The Stoics call this becoming a Warrior of the Mind. ​

The Epic & Kimura Series follows two children on a Heroes Journey where they apply the lessons they learn. And like all great adventures theirs  begins with a choice:

 

Who will I become?  ​

Join Epic & Kimura as they embark on a fun, mystical, and deeply symbolic adventure. Inspired by my children's lives and the lessons they've learned through Stoicism, this series is my way of sharing that journey and its impact with the world.

ONE MILLION HANDS

1 Million Hands Isn't just a Number

It’s a symbol.


To a child, 1 million is unfathomable. It’s enormous. It's the kind of number that stretches the imagination—big enough to feel like it could change the world.


And that’s exactly the point.


Because children don’t think small.

 

They dream in color.

They believe in possibility.

They know that something massive can start with just one spark.


This Movement Isn’t About Numbers.


It’s about impact.


The 1 Million Hands Movement is built on a simple but powerful idea:
When you pass something meaningful forward, you create a ripple effect.
And ripples can become waves.
Waves can shift tides.


This is about giving kids the chance to be part of something bigger than themselves—something that reminds them that they matter, that they can lead, that they can ignite change.

 

One book.

One child.

One spark.

One million hands.


This is the Spirit of Epic & Kimura.


It’s a call to action:
Let’s do something massive together.
Let’s change the world.


What if One Book Could Change a Life?


In Epic & Kimura, two children are given a gift—not just a book, but a new way of seeing the world.

 

A mindset.

A mirror.

A map.

It helps them face what they fear and discover who they really are.


As I wrote Fear of the Unknown, I realized I was writing the book I needed when I was 12.
Because that boy—like so many kids today—was carrying questions, doubts, and pressure he didn’t know how to name.


If I could hand him one book to prepare him for life’s challenges...

This would be it.


That’s Why I’m Launching the 1 Million Hands Movement.


To put this story into the hands of 1 million kids who need it.

 

Kids who need a spark.

Kids who need to know they’re not alone.

Kids who need to know they were meant to illuminate, not burn. 

Because if just one of those children reads the story and sees their world differently, it can change their life.
And when one life changes—it changes the world around them.


How It Works


It’s simple.
Just follow the link and download the free eBook.
If the story speaks to you—and you know someone else who needs it—send them here.


That’s it. No strings. No catches. Just a spark


Epic & Kimura received their book as a gift.
And it changed everything.


Now it’s your turn to pass it on.
Because changing one life is worth it.
But why stop at one?
Let’s impact a million.

THE IMPACT

“I really connected with Caleb… The book was super entertaining and engaging. The lessons in the story, the superhero names, and the moment I realized why it’s called Epic and Kimura—all of it landed. I can’t wait for the next one!”
