Be the first to read Stories of the Second Son a new novel by Daniel Reynolds. Coming out September 20th, 2026
Jay Robertson grew up obsessed with a world renowned recluse and author, Michael Thomas Grace, whose life is an enigma to his fans and the world at large. Jay receives a once in a lifetime invitation to be mentored, one-on-one, by his lifelong writing hero, the sole caveat being if anyone were to find out about this opportunity it would slip through his fingers.
Interlaced between the chapters of Jay’s story are short stories written by Grace, which are set throughout the world with traces of mythology, time travel,and alternate realities; supernatural and reality bending motifs that launched this would-be mentor to become a household name. Jay learns more about his idol than he bargained for when Grace’s nefarious writing process comes to light, and threatens everything Jay thought he knew, including who, and what, Michael Thomas Grace truly is.
Over the past decade, Daniel P. Reynolds has been chased at gun-point through the streets of Brazil; narrowly escaped road bandits in the deserts of Morocco; was tear-gassed in the Paris riots; temporarily adopted a cat in Thailand; drank his way through the pubs of Ireland and matched it pint for pint with the clubs of Los Angeles. He has belly danced with women in Marrakech; snorkeled off the Baja coast of Mexico; shot music videos on the streets of Rome; was swept up in a Barcelona street parade; lost a ukulele on a train in Venice; lost his fear of heights on top of the Great Wall of China; and lost his self-respect in the karaoke bars of Southern Massachusetts - all the while painting and sculpting his way through the world.
