about me

I am many things: a husband, a father, a dental student, a theater major, and a writer. Hopefully, I am improving on all of these things.

In terms of what I'll read. First of all, I'll read anything that sounds really really good. Unfortunately, so little comes across from a pitch many times. I'll try to return favors for those who read and comment, but I'm mostly interested in and knowledgeable of YA, sci-fi, and general fiction. I don't read much fantasy or hard sci-fi (Dune is an exception), but again, if your book sounds interesting, or you write me a nice detailed review, I'll do my best to at least give your writing a look over.

Flight from Blithmore

Jacob Gowans

An sweeping tale about Henry, Isabelle, and their friends fighting against an Emperor, a King, and their armies to stay together... and stay alive.


You want a tale of forbidden love? We got it. You need swordfights and daring escapes? We got that, too. You're also looking for hilariousness, betrayal, and a horse named Sissy? Stop searching! May I introduce you to A Tale of Love and Adventure Volume One: Flight from Blithmore!

Set in a fictional country called Blithmore, this tale revolves around a master carpenter named Henry, willing to sacrifice everything for the woman he loves. And it seems he may be asked to give exactly that. When an Emperor tries to kidnap Henry's fiancee and make her his concubine, Henry, with his friends and sister, makes a daring escape. Now he is hunted by hundreds of soldiers across the country. Unfortunately, Henry is a carpenter, not a swordsman, and must rely on his friends to prevent imprisonment and execution.

Flight from Blithmore is a witty, adventurous tale of love, not a romance novel. Written for men and women, no one should be afraid to pick up this book. From impromptu plays to drunken songs to oddball physicians, this book has something for you.

The novel is complete at ~110K words. The first five chapters have been uploaded.
