You Are the Story You Tell Yourself | An Existential Take on Why Humans Crave Stories An existential look at why humans are biologically wired for stories—and how storytelling shapes our experience of time, memory, and identity. Stories aren’t just entertainment; they are how we survive the flickering instability of consciousness itself, weaving meaning into the chaos of existence.

Frequently Asked Questions WHEN DID YOU REALIZE YOU WANTED TO BE AN AUTHOR? I've always loved to write and tell stories, but I finally set my mind to becoming a author when I was fourteen years old. If you want to read more about my author journey, check out my "about" page. HOW DO YOU COME UP WITH YOUR STORY IDEAS?/WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR STORY IDEAS? It's a mix of things. I would say most of my story ideas come from old daydreams I used to have when I was kid, some are from my random and strange dreams I have, and others seem to pop into existance out of no where. I also love retelling my favorite stories and putting my own twist on them. IS "BAIR" YOUR REAL NAME OR IS A PEN NAME? Bair is my real name! My dad came up with it when I was a baby as he thought it better fit my personality. And no, my parent's did not realize the implication of "Bair Klos" (like bear claws) when they named me. WHO/WHAT IS THAT LITTLE GREEN DRAGON I SEE EASTER-EGGED AROUND YOUR WEBSITE AND AUTHOR BRANDING? The little green dragon you see dotted around my website is Mosswing! He's my author mascot, my little bookwyrm. One random day in 2025, I was sketching on my iPad using ProCreate and he manifested all the sudden onto my digital paper. The rest is history. He's been my little buddy ever since. (I hope you love him as much as I do.) Mosswing Anchor ARE YOU AVAILBLE FOR CRITIQUE, AND OR BETA READING?

RELATED CONTENT Become A Beta-Reader The Glass Dagger Map The Glass Dagger Blogs The Glass Dagger Deleted Scenes Coming Soon The Glass Dagger Sample Chapters Coming Soon Inspiration Behind The Idea About The Author Blurb When his lover is mysteriously kidnapped, a young blacksmith apprentice thrusts himself into a world of magik and intrigue to find her. Uncertainty lies around every corner, and people are not what they seem, so when he learns a sinister truth about her kidnapper—and what they have planned for the world—he must stop them before they condemn his world to a fate worse than death. Synopsis EPIC FANTASY | THRILLER | ROMANCE In the forsaken fishing village of Tyrwe, Kyl Eisele, a mute and illiterate blacksmith apprentice, yearns for more beyond his small and isolated village. But living in a village where perception defines your very existence, Kyl finds himself financially and socially bankrupt—overlooked, undervalued, and relegated to the shadows. So when he finds himself waking in the stables of the noble household he is supposed to be attending, he finds himself ill-prepared for the fateful meeting of Aelyria Moiral—Daughter Heir of said noble household, whose family is akin to royalty in Tyrwe. Feeling as though he’s been caught with his pants down, and with nothing to lose, Kyl strikes a bargain, beginning an unlikely friendship. But as their relationship deepens into an even unlikelier romance, Kyl finds himself enthralled by Aelyria’s intelligence and her tantalizing, potentially dangerous, secret. So when she is mysteriously kidnapped without a trace—his only clue a strange glass dagger of mystifying origin—Kyl sets off after her, swearing he will not rest until she is found. Meanwhile, from the dawn of human existence, in the realm of the divine where emotions are a foreign concept—an enigma best left to the mortal coil—one deity finds themselves inextricably drawn to the peculiarity of human life; captivated by the very emotions they, themself, cannot feel. As curiosity deepens into obsession, the ways of humans is too tantalizing to resist, and the deity finds themselves entangled within the lives of mortals, forever changing the trajectory of mortal-kind. But doing so draws the attention of a divine nemesis who views mortals as a blight. The perilous journey ahead will lead the apprentice to a destiny intertwined with divinity, uncover knowledge from a long dead ancient civilization, and befriend unlikely people: an enterprising young princess, a powerful shapeshifter, and a mysterious ship captain who harbors a secret that may just be the key to finding Aelyria. So as Kyl discovers the kidnappers’ actions are rooted in a millennia-old conflict that could threaten to end his world as he knows it, he must confront the limits of human mortality and the true power of the glass dagger. But where does Aelyria stand in it all? And can he save her, and his world, before it's too late? “The Glass Dagger” is a gripping fantasy adventure, rich with immersive world building, that weaves a tale of discovery, betrayal, self-acceptance, and the profound meaning behind the mortal condition and human mortality. Fans of The Stormlight Archive, The Wheel of Time, Earthsea, and Tolkien will enjoy this epic tale of battling gods and strength of the human heart.
