Welcome! This is the story behind the Book of Katherine movies. First launched in the summer of 2022, they are based on the adventures of The Order in her A Prophet’s Journal world. Below you will find a list of the movies as well, in order of their release. Enjoy!
IN THE BEGINNING…
When I wrote my first fantasy fiction novel in the Spring of 2019, Book of Katherine and the Chinese Maze, I had no idea what I had started. I was more interested in learning to write on a keyboard again! Here’s how my movie universe began. (List of movie titles and descriptions below.)
The world of The Order was born on April 7, 2019. I suddenly felt like writing, and so I did. Six months later and Book of Katherine and the Chinese Maze was born.
I can see why the book was so popular. The Chinese Maze follows a gang of celebrities, talking animal warriors and a very sick, but very effective leader of an ancient band of assassins, thieves and wizards known throughout Earth’s secret kingdoms as the Order. A few others knew it by a different name: the Army of God (there are traces of this army in the Bible called ‘mighty men’). And this Army of God is on a very difficult and very high-stakes mission that takes them deep, deep into an underground maze beneath the Tibetan mountains of China to eliminate a threat so deadly, that it affects more than just Earth and its people – but the people of all other worlds too.
The global pandemic COVID hit just nine months after I finished the book. My medical care diminished and my hands had trouble with the keyboard once more. But my mind kept brimming with ideas.
Frustrated with my inability to write, and sad that I wasn’t able to meet readers’ expectations after introducing them to this entirely new world, I finally came up with the new Twitter account idea. And I’m so glad I did.
There I wrote thread after thread about The Order’s adventures, both new and old. Uncle Stephan and Kyle Redd get a rather fun outing at Maverick’s Saloon in Solvang, California, for example. You can enjoy reading all about it in the megathread today! Here’s the link. I myself enjoy searching the stories to remember what I’ve written about certain characters and specific events.
And, as many have discovered, the pandemic helped introduce the Prophet’s Journal world to a whole new audience… including a few amazing producers in Hollywood. And the rest is history!
