Phoenix Ward
Phoenix Ward is an indie black writer, and educator from Philadelphia. He has worked in the field of education for over five years, teaching all grades Mathematics and English. When he’s not writing, he is composing music using Logic Pro X, or tutoring children on subjects they struggle in. Currently, he lives in Philadelphia with his dog and cat.
An avid world-builder, Phoenix has created many stories from youth to adulthood, but none have captivated him as much as his latest work Sins of the Fire, which combines his passion for storytelling with his deep understanding of human nature. He draws inspiration from the vibrant city life of Philadelphia and his own experiences as an educator, infusing his narratives with authenticity and depth.
In addition to his work as a writer and educator, Phoenix is committed to supporting young creatives in their journeys. He actively encourages students and adults alike to seek a way to create their own stories. Everyone has a message to share, and doing so in story is the best way to do so.
Story Conception
Sins of the Fire was written as a means of conveying a pair of messages; The first is that there are always consequences to actions, both good and bad. How we shape ourselves is how we handle the consequences. The second is on forgiveness- and how one must be capable of forgiving oneself before being able to face the consequences. It’s hard to forgive ourselves when we make mistakes, and the consequence can often reflect the severety of such errors. It’s hard to forgive others for their transgressions as well, but there is a slippery slope of what can be forgiven and what cannot be. I wrote this book, on and off, to present a message to readers. What are fair consequences? What is required to be forgiven? Both Kane and Mysherra will come to learn that as the story develops!
