Hey Reader,

Every story begins with a spark of inspiration, and Trunk of Scrolls is no exception.

Here’s a video about WHERE TRUNK OF SCROLLS came from…

video preview​

The world of Byzantine Anatolia captured my imagination with its incredible blend of history, faith, and resilience. The courage of those who lived through natural disasters, political upheaval, and personal struggles reminded me of the enduring strength of hope and faith in adversity.

On a personal level, this story grew out of my own questions about faith: What does it mean to hold onto hope when everything feels lost? How do we find light when the path seems impossibly dark? These questions shaped every twist and turn of the journey Marcellus and Byziana undertake.

This book is more than just a story—it’s a tribute to the power of perseverance, the beauty of rediscovery, and the mystery of grace. I hope it inspires you as much as writing it inspired me.

What inspires YOU to hold onto faith in adversity? I’d love to hear your story. Reply to this email, and let’s talk!

Yours,

Darlene
Author of Trunk of Scrolls: Paths of Faith and Fire

See you tomorrow!
