The Chronicles of Prince Ivan
Preface
January 7, 2019

Why does a songwriter write music?
Why does a novelist write books?
Why does a filmmaker make movies?
To make money? To become famous? To express themselves?
Maybe so
But more important than all of that to the real artist is the deep
Consuming desire to change lives
To tell a story that will connect, captivate and transform
The hearts and minds of individuals, families and cultures
That is why we write
That is why we create

We started this journey together over 10 years ago
Our goal then was, and always has been, to elevate humanity
To fight for the good, to unite people together under the banner of love and joy
To celebrate the fact that we have a lot more in common than all of our differences
The two of us have been through a lot of battles together and now we are excited
To introduce you to the world we have been trying to create for so long

It's a world seen through the eyes of the courageous young prince, Ivan
It's a world that has been corrupted by darkness, confusion, division, war, lust
And all kinds of evil
But it is meant to be a world where the forces of hope, joy, unity and peace overcome
Where darkness gives way to light
Where good drives out evil
Where love wins

This is your world
This is our world
It's a world we can create together
If you join Prince Ivan on this journey you will find the answers to your questions
The solutions to your problems, the keys to unlocking your destiny
And friends who will fight beside you 'til the end
This is the story of Ivan, but more importantly, it's the story of us
So welcome to hope
Welcome to truth
Welcome to love
Welcome to now
Welcome to the future
Welcome to the world of Prince Ivan
