My two favourite authors are J.R. R.Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. I love the world building in both The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia. It's my dream to write epic stories like these with larger than life fictional characters.

Four adults and one lion aren't enough to restrain the tiny boy with a murky past.
This story continues after Mary's Flight ends. The dystopian era has ended. It's a time of true peace and harmony throughout the earth.
The earth is a virtual paradise. Mortals and immortals live alongside one another. Man and animals get along. (Most of the time. Billy and Leonard the lion bicker a lot).
But not everyone gets what they want. Sacrifices have to be made.
This is a separate series altogether because of its lighthearted, fun filled tone, with themes like family, friendship and coming of age, which makes it ideal for upper middle graders, and the young at heart.
This is the first book in my latest fantasy adventure series: The Adventures of Billy Lionheart.
Watch the book trailers.
Initially, I planned Emunah Short Stories to have 12 books instead of 8.
Billy The Lion Boy was supposed to be Book 9, but that book and the ones that would come after it do not fit into the dystopian style of the rest of Emunah Short Stories series. Billy The Lion Boy is set during the Millennial rule of Christ when the earth is a paradise, where man and beast live in harmony, immortals walk alongside mortals. Animals no longer hunt or hurt one another. Lions eat hay.
The stories are fun. The setting is beautiful and lighthearted. Compared to today's world that would be a fantasy world, hence the fantasy adventure series: The Adventures of Billy Lionheart.
To be honest, on hindsight, my Emunah books were pretty disorganised. New readers might get confused. So here's the reading order and timeline of the Emunah Chronicles universe in which my books are set -- realistic fiction based on today's world and Bible Prophecy, with the background and beliefs that inspire the stories.

As a Singaporean now living in Canada, this book brought back so many memories of my Singaporean people and history that are absolutely still a vital part of me! I was thrown into the sounds of water, the mix of our unique languages, the racial dynamics, plus some mystical and historical folklore! Fun, easy to read, engaging. Plus this being written by my own family member, taking our family history into a new interpretation, is completely thrilling! Well Done!

The book discusses disturbing applications of modern technology with Bible Prophecy. It is character-driven, seen through the eyes of the diverse cast as the transition from today’s setting into a world ruled by a global dictator, the Antichrist. This dictator goes by the moniker - Beast. The book is fast-paced; the twists and turns that keep you turning the pages. It transitions from modern-day to the dystopian rule of Beast into the Utopian millennial rule where immortals live alongside mortals in a peaceful world before the Dragon’s release. It’s an epic speculative science fiction novel that draws on prophetic events. I find the book highly entertaining, and I recommend it.
