Dominic de Souza
Dominic de Souza is a novelist, marketing director, and the founder of LegendFiction, a community for storytellers who think fiction is a vocation and not a hobby.
He was born in New Zealand, raised in Australia, and schooled in Fiji and France. He wrote his first novel at thirteen. He left a Catholic doomsday cult in his twenties with a wife, a baby on the way, and no plan, and spent the next twenty-five years mastering branding to keep the lights on.
He's obsessed with the frontier where faith, science, and history collide, and he writes fantasy for YA young readers.
He's a self-described professional nerd. He lives in the United States with his family, and he'll have coffee with anyone.
What are you working on? Say hi sometime.
What I'm chewing on:
Rewilding Christianity
Being Catholic in the modern world without the cage. Hermetic and neglected wisdom traditions, authentic witness over tribal membership. I'm a universalist.
Barker · Balthasar · Tomberg · Chesterton · Rohr · Thérèse.
Deep history, living myth
Where human origins meet the myths of Genesis, and how those map against a real scientific timeline. How the gods seed cultures.
Hancock · Teilhard · Stark · Sheldrake · Peterson.
A universe that's awake
Quantum weirdness, epigenetics, NDEs — the ways souls and angels keep showing up in the data. And what technology is doing to the human person.
Spitzer · Sheldrake · Andreano
Worlds without end
How you intuit a story that carries a truth you can't explain. Sub-creation. Eucatastrophe.
Tolkien · Lawhead · Lewis · Bujold · Crichton · Alexander · Jacques · world myths.
