MEET MINNESOTA AUTHOR JASON LEE WILLIS
Jason Lee Willis is the author of the Dream Catcher Chronicles, a paranormal series set in the north woods of Minnesota, as well as several other self-published novels. He has also produced two nonfiction works on Christian Bible studies. As a creative writing instructor, he and his students have produced two volumes of short stories, Tales from the Haunted Valley, as a fundraiser for the writing program. As a professional storyteller (isn’t that what English teachers do?), he’s done historical lectures and video series, book talks, radio segments, podcasts, and recently submitted a short story in Rhonda Gilliland’s “foodie” anthology, "Cooked to Death".
Willis grew up in South Dakota and currently lives in Minnesota, where he lives the life of a hobbit by gardening, writing, walking around barefoot, wearing vests, fishing, and going on adventures with his wife, Julie.
Books are available through Amazon.
"The Fire Handler" Synopsis:
Stories of a horned serpent that lives below Lake Manitou are told around campfires, but for Levi MacPherson, his nightmares warn him the legends might be true. To learn about his past, he seeks out his great-grandmother Lily, who seems to be clinging to life just to share her stories. Lily teaches him about ancient prophecies, the magic of the dream catcher, and his darkest family secrets.
"The Wintermaker" Synopsis:
The souls who die in the waters of Lake Manitou can find no rest, for it is the resting place of the fabled Wintermaker, a dark spirit gathering the dead to him so he might once again walk the earth. To avoid the murder and mayhem experienced in 1962, Levi MacPherson must learn from the mistakes of his mother and great-grandmother who dared to face the dreaded Wintermaker.
"The Alchemist's Map" will be released 2021 with Fox Pointe Publishing. https://www.foxpointepublishing.com/
Synopsis:Empires rise and fall, but the stars remain the same. Renowned French astronomer Joseph Nicollet, an expert on Halley’s Comet, interprets a bizarre map inherited by a Scottish noblewoman, who believes it leads to the location of the Philosopher’s Stone. When she is murdered and the map is stolen, Nicollet embarks on a dangerous quest to discover the truth behind the ancient legend. Having glimpsed the mysterious treasure map, Nicollet manages to lead a mapping expedition into the untamed forests and wild rivers of Minnesota, where mysticism still lingers in the shadows.
Driven by science yet deeply religious, wild at heart but frail of body, and capable of inspiring friendship while keeping dark secrets, Joseph Nicollet must choose between his reputation and his duty to the truth. Will the strange clues upon the stolen map allow Nicollet to find the ancient treasure? Or will a faceless adversary destroy his works and dreams before the truth can be discovered?
