I write and read fantasy and historical fiction, both novels and short stories. I'm interested in most fantasy, historical, and esoteric books, and I love old books too. I love reading lots of books at once, though I usually only write one story at a time.
My series The Soul Wanderers starts with the novel Aizai the Forgotten, and also includes some related but standalone short stories such as Heart of a Dragon and The StarCompass.
I have also studied theoretical physics and have a Masters degree from The Perimeter Institute in Waterloo. Before that, I went to Carleton University in Ottawa and studied physics with a minor in philosophy. I love ancient philosophy, especially Plato, Plotinus, and Lao-Tzu.

Note: I am happy to review other authors

I like to follow Epictetus' handbook, or Enchiridion. You can read it all for free online and there are many really golden sayings to live by in there. Also Marcus Aurelius's Meditations are great.(less)
Mary-Jean Harris The second book in The Soul Wanderers, which takes up where Aizai the Forgotten left off. There is more magic and adventure to come!

It was alright, not very deep and more of a quick overview of some topics related to dating and relationships and how math can be applied to them. I would have liked to see more depth and actual mathematical details though.

This was a strange book, I'm not sure if I loved it or hated it. The writing was very good, and the characters realistic. But there wasn't much of a plot. It was more an exploration into madness and the mind. Fascinating, but at times disturbing. ...more

Quotes by Mary-Jean Harris  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“It is only those who do not know who wander the paths. A blind eye and a stout heart create a true wanderer. Those who seek the paths do so in vain; only those who can see deep might hope to wander.”
Mary-Jean Harris, Wrestling with Gods

“True friends are always near, the Goddess said. Beneath the eyelids on a stormy night, around the bend in a wicked dream, hearkening to the future by the chimes of their companion’s call.”
Mary-Jean Harris, Aizai the Forgotten

“Eldora smiled up at Paulo cunningly, her dark eyes twinkling. “You are old, Father.”
“Not as old as I shall be, before I have finished with the universe.”
Mary-Jean Harris, Aizai the Forgotten

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
Oscar Wilde

“If you have a soul of a warrior, you are a warrior. Whatever the color, the shape, the design of the shade that conceals it, the flame inside the lamp remains the same. You are that flame.”
Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

“The moon and sun are travelers through eternity. Even the years wander on. Whether drifting through life on a boat or climbing toward old age leading a horse, each day is a journey, and the journey itself is home.”
Basho

“Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise; seek what they sought.”
Matsuo Bashō

“Real poetry, is to lead a beautiful life. To live poetry is better than to write it.”
Basho

Armina Hello Mary-Jean and thanks for the friend request! Good to see 'fantasy', 'philosophy' and 'esoteric' as some key words in your info. :) Looking forward to book and other chats with you.


Mary-Jean Harris Hi Elwen, I like to read fantasy mostly, young adult or high fantasy or historical. I saw that most of your books are in German- do you read in English or German?
Nice to meet you!
PS. Cute owl avatar!
