Lucifer’s Game is a tale of intrigue. It takes you on a witty, yet profoundly deep dive into the inner realm of our very humanity. Jackson Trent, spiritual explorer and writer of the popular blog “Snap Out Of It!” (snapoutofitblog.com) has come to Hawai’i to heal his shattered heart. On the beach, he’s approached by a mysterious stranger who turns out to be Lucifer, under the guise of a corpulent, disheveled tourist. Lucifer, (who has his own dubious ‘anti-social media’ advice column LettersToLucifer.com) convinces Jackson to spend the day with him, whereby they delve into a fascinating and provocative exploration between the Light and the Shadow of human consciousness. As the ‘caretaker’ of the Shadow side of our nature, just what is Lucifer really up to here? What’s his game with us?

Author Statement

In any given moment, I can be more ‘awake’, more ‘present’, or, conversely, more in a kind of ‘waking sleep.’

Michael Dunford, Reviewer, Midwest Book Review


The characters of (Lucifer’s Game) are well developed and feel like they could be people you actually know in real life.  They are very well rounded and it feels like they could step off the page at any time…The language is vivid and the word choice well picked to clearly paint the pictures in your mind.  The book, though it does make you think, is easy to understand.  The book was a page turner for me until the very last page.  The only thing disappointing about the book was when it ended.  I truly look forward to the sequel.
