PERSONAL ANECDOTE

Everyone has a story within them to tell...and there are so many ways to tell it...

Mine started when I was a teenager, having an obsession with Greek mythology and legends from the Medieval era. The Last Legend began with art work and a faint storyline...then grew into one incredible story. For 13 years, my story became stronger and grew in my head, just as I grew upon the earth. It wasn't until 2010 that I started writing The Last Legend. During those years I rededicated my life to Christ, and that's when my story turned into something more than just another fantasy...it became a testimony, my own poem and a beacon of hope. You see, the situations that my beloved characters go through in The Last Legend are inspired by broken experiences that we all go through everyday...but just with an epic twist. Just as I experienced the dark-side of our world, so do my characters in the story. It's ironic how over 13 years ago, my story inspired by poems dealing with many gods, is now inspired by our one and only true God. Over the years, my story had many names and main themes...but now its name and themes are complete...

The Last Legend: Awakened, is book one & Unto The End, is book two in the Epic-Fantasy Thriller! Book three, Forever, will be out soon! The themes of everlasting love and light breaking the darkness are its roots.

Reviewed by Michelle Randall for Readers' Favorite

Long before the beginning of the world, there was the Light and all was good, but there was also the darkness who wanted the adoration that the Light received, and he schemed to get that adoration. The Light knew all and was able to see the true desires of the darkness, and cast him and his followers into the unknown, and thus began The Last Legend: Awakened (Volume 1). The darkness bided his time until he was able to inhabit the body of a princess and rule the kingdom in evil, but his rule was short-lived when her body died. Now he waits again. Princess Marissa is about to be engaged to Prince Philip when she is kidnapped. It is up to her best friend and her fiance to find her before it is too late. J.B. Wichterich takes the classic story of Lucifer's fall from grace and turns it into a legend fit for the knights of Camelot.

The Last Legend is a story so old that parts of it have been lost; it has been retold so many times it has become jumbled, and it is up to Prince Philip and Tarrien to find the truth in it all. It takes a great deal of trust and faith. J.B. Wichterich takes what could easily be a wonderful fantasy story of good and evil, of knights and castles, dragons and witches that any young adult would love to read, and infuses it with a large dose of faith and religion. It provides a lesson in trusting in the unseen, having faith, and giving it over to an unseen God to pull you through when things look the bleakest. Wonderful fantasy with a message for all who read this story.
