Fantasy readers searching for an emotionally rich adventure filled with mystery, danger, and timeless truths will find a compelling new journey in Chronicles of the Otherwhen: Raven Jones by author Dale “Bear” Brown.
The novel introduces Raven Jones, a talented teenage athlete suddenly thrust into a hidden world that has awaited his arrival for centuries. Far from being welcomed as a hero, Raven discovers he is feared, resented, and physically outmatched by nearly everyone around him. When one of his own mistakes unleashes a threat capable of destroying civilization, Raven must decide whether he can rise above fear and failure to save the world he never intended to inherit.
Blending fast-paced fantasy action with emotional depth and relatable characters, Chronicles of the Otherwhen: Raven Jones explores themes of resilience, identity, responsibility, and faith. Brown’s storytelling invites readers into an imaginative universe where courage is not always measured by power, but by perseverance, compassion, and integrity.
“I’m a storyteller,” Brown says. “I like well-told stories with depth and emotion, romance and conflict, relatable characters and believable action. Really, I just want to write a story that will give the reader a pleasant experience as they explore my imagination.”
A native of western Oregon, Dale “Bear” Brown draws inspiration from a lifetime spent exploring wilderness and wild places. Born in Springfield and shaped by years of backpacking, hiking, climbing, scouting, and youth mentorship, Brown combines his love of nature with the influence of classic fantasy authors such as J.R.R. Tolkien, J.K. Rowling, Brandon Sanderson, C.S. Lewis, Homer, and Herman Melville.
Beyond the adventure and fantasy elements, Brown hopes readers will come away with a deeper message about enduring difficult circumstances and discovering personal strength.
“When you find yourself in a tough situation, burdened with tasks you didn’t ask for and surrounded by challenges, just keep plugging along and do your best,” Brown explains. “God has given each person gifts and talents suited to their needs. Sometimes the greatest strengths are kindness, competence, and the ability to help others.”
Chronicles of the Otherwhen: Raven Jones is now available for fantasy readers seeking an immersive new world filled with danger, discovery, and hope.
