When I decided to finally write a book, The Lost Chronicles of Eden: Champions<\/em> wasn’t what I had in mind. At the time, I knew the kinds of books that sell like pancakes, and I’ve had my share of writing and editing those stories. After all, I have edited a number of bestsellers for Summit Pop Fiction before. More than that, the writings of my youth all gear towards the same genre.<\/p>\n

Still, when the pen began to move over the paper and the words began to spill on blank Word documents, the book took a different form. Before I could help it, memories of childhood heroes, games, books, and films began to resurface on my mind. It was then that I pulled out a storyline that has been brewing in my heart and soul since college.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Myths and magic. Epic battles. Demons and Warriors of the Light. Wings. Powers. War. Love. Peace. Victories. Defeats. Monsters and men. Heroes who don’t act like heroes and villains who had reasons to become villains.<\/p>\n

After many sleepless nights, five versions of the first chapter, the story took on a life of its own, and Champions<\/em> was born.<\/p>\n

This is my first book, but this is our story. Because I believe everyone is called to be a hero\u2014no matter what you did, what you are, or where you’re from. So, come as you are and find out what it means to be a true Champion.<\/p>\n

This book is now a fast-selling book here in the Philippines. And our adventure has only just begun.<\/p>\n
