    The Writer’s Table with A.D. Solomon | Twin Moons of Eldradune

    What if an ancient box transported you from Earth into a world filled with magic, forgotten history, and secrets connected to your own identity? In this episode of The Writer’s Table, Scott welcomes epic fantasy author A.D. Solomon, also known as Aaron, to discuss Twin Moons of Eldradune. The story follows Lex Anders and Mara Thorne, two ordinary people who are unexpectedly pulled into Eldradune. What begins as a desperate search for a way home soon becomes a much larger journey as Lex discovers mysterious powers, troubling visions, and a connection to this unfamiliar world that could change everything he believes about himself. Aaron shares how he created Eldradune, developed its history and magic, and turned the first adventure into an expansive fantasy series. We also place Lex Anders in the character spotlight and explore Aaron’s journey from military service and supporting Special Operations to ghostwriting and becoming a full-time author.
