About The Book
Utah to Eden
Four friends discover a strange black slab hidden in a basement. It looks still. Silent. Harmless. But the moment it opens… everything changes. They fall into a massive world covered in mist, filled with huge trees, powerful creatures, and ancient giants who rule the land. Now, they must stick together, survive, and uncover the truth behind the portal that brought them here.
This isn’t just a trip, it’s a fight to get home.
See the world of The Basalt Door come alive; strange lands, giant beings, and a journey that starts with one bold action.
Readers are loving The Basalt Door. Here’s what they’re saying:

Ok listen this book grabbed me right from page one and just did not let go I sat down thinking I would read a chapter and suddenly hours were gone I kept going wait wait what is happening now the mist the creatures the danger all of it felt so real I actually forgot to blink half the time just a wild ride from start to finish

The world in this book is huge like you think you know what is coming and then boom something else hits you I had to stop a few times and just stare at the page like how is this even possible chapter one hooked me fast and from there it was just page after page of what is that and why is that happening this story is something else

This one hit way harder than I expected the characters feel real the danger feels real and I kept talking to the book like they could hear me the cliffhanger had me sitting straight up like no no you are not ending it here I need more right now this world is stuck in my head and refuses to leave
