Review: Awaken to the Wilderness (The Edge of the Known Book Five) by Seth Mullins

★★★★ Awaken to the Wilderness (The Edge of the Known Book 5)

Awaken to the Wilderness by Seth Mullins follows the band, Edge of the Known, on a grueling 180-day tour, which may be the undoing of band leader, Brandon, who has never been one to handle the trappings of success and fame very well. Here though, Brandon may be coming to terms with his life and art, realizing there’s always a wilderness, but you can always find meaning and contentment within the struggle.

Unlike the four earlier books in the series, Awaken loses a fair bit of its pretension and philosophizing, focusing more on the antics and experiences of a […]

An Interview with Seth Mullins: Author of Fire Thief Reborn (Edge of the Known Book 4)

Seth Mullins

I write novels that aim to evoke the journey of self-discovery in a dramatic and emotionally cathartic way. I am inspired by various methods of inner exploration such as dream-work and shamanism, wherein one makes the inward plunge and then shares the fruits of that adventure with the wider community. This, to me, is the essence of art.

What did you learn on your journey as an author?

One of the most gratifying parts of the process for me was when I started getting reader responses and reviews and realized that so much of what I’d hoped to convey through […]

A Writer’s Day in Motion: Seth Mullins

Seth Mullins Books

An inspired state of mind reminds me of the dreaming state in one crucial respect: No matter how hard you try and revive the memory of it later, that recollection will never be quite as vivid as the original manifestation. I keep a notebook close by, as often as possible; in my backpack when I’m hiking; beside me at the table in a restaurant or café. The Muse tends to visit me when I’m on the move, when the sounds of life are stretching out all around me and new sights are constantly unveiled before my eyes. She tends to […]

Review: Trust in the Unseen (The Edge of the Known Book 2) by Seth Mullins

The second volume finds Brandon reeling from a break-up, even as his band is on the rise, and as visionary as ever. His mentor, Saul Mason, is having personal issues of his own, and may not be the spiritual rock he purported himself to be. One thing remains true through the turmoil: […]
