VOG: Born of Fire

“Welcome to my world.
We meet after the long silence.”
— Water Fall

Set in southern Oregon in the final years before the eruption of Mount Mazama, VOG: Born of Fire immerses readers in the world that the People of the Lake called home.

Inspired by more than three decades of archaeological fieldwork, the novel reconstructs a forgotten culture through danger, humor, survival, and spiritual tradition. Readers experience the ancient world from within … through the people who lived it.

A nameless boy returns from his Quest seeking the Creator only to find his village facing changes no one fully understands. Old ways strain against new ideas as hidden dangers move quietly through the land.

But the greatest danger may already be awakening beneath their feet.

Their villages vanished beneath fire and ash. Their world reduced to scattered fragments.

Let the voices of a vanished people be heard once more.
