Borderlands

Steven Paul Tamburrino

Borderlands is about one of many generations of people whose faith in their Maker strengthens and encourages them through the various trials that they must face during the course of their history. This opening tale will capture the imagination of those who enjoy observing the maturing process that souls experience when they face challenges of many kinds, from identity crises and deep seasons of grief to the horrors of war and the desperate ways in which people and individuals respond to it. Its relevance is found in its similarity to the spiritual walk of many pilgrims in our own reality who seek truth in life through a relationship with a real, personal Creator. The unique setting of this tale - a fictitious universe complete with its own creation story and planetary system - provides a streamlined background in which pilgrims both actual and prospective will feel free to immerse themselves and embrace the ride.

About the Author: Steven was born in Los Angeles, California. His chief hobby in life (if you will) has been to explore, experience, appreciate and recreate the beauty that can be found in the world - especially in nature. He has done this chiefly through artistic endeavors, musical expression, landscaping, running, hiking, cycling, swimming and building imaginary worlds in Minecraft. His professional pursuits in life began with designing circuit boards, to all levels of architectural planning and ultimately space design, to teaching elementary visual arts in academic institutions. He believes that the ways in which humanity interfaces with the colors, shapes, sounds, smells and textures of this world are ultimately and profoundly spiritual. He is currently living a ridiculously active, 'retired' life in Florida, being young at heart, sound in body, mind and spirit, enjoying his family and walking with the Maker.
