The Turrim Archive

Towers of Might and Memory

Seven orbs. One mission. One final chance.

Captain Marik races his airship across the war-torn continent to reach the final orb of power; the faded myth is their last slim hope to tip the scales. For if Uun’s assassins recover the artifact first, the tyrant will have all he needs to bring the entire world under his rule.

Trapped behind enemy lines, Grayden strives to wield his own orb, Beren chafes to return to battle, and Raisa struggles to cope with her new abilities. With obstacles at every turn, and time running out for the besieged capital, can the battered band of friends survive Uun’s plots, or will they fall to his might–and the world with them?

Rival factions clash over ancient powers as the world races toward its fate.

A New Jake Rogers Cover Reveal!

June 16, 2026

I’m so excited to be helping out with the cover reveal and Kickstarter announcement for this book!

Some of you may remember that Grant and I had Philip Wilder over for an interview on our podcast several months ago. If you haven’t seen that episode, I highly recommend you check it out, we had such a blast chatting with Philip.

Anyway, we were talking about his first novel, Jake Rogers’ Planet, which I have now listened to in audiobook form TWICE (yes, it’s that good) once on my own, and once with my kids, who all loved it as well.

So I am just thrilled to pieces to hear that a sequel to that book is coming soon!

Wanna see the cover?

Whew! It’s been a hot minute since I graced the blog with my presence!

I’m so sorry I’ve been so silent here for the past… 2 months! Spring has just become one of the busiest times of the year for me, and trying to release the last book in the Turrim Archive in the middle of all that just wiped me out.

Life just keeps moving forward, and so does time, and here we are in June!

I would love to say that I’m going to try to be more faithful to write posts, but I fear that would just be setting me up for failure and you all for disappointment. I still love blogging and I have all these ideas, I just don’t ever seem to have the time. As my kids get older, I am more and more involved in all of their activities, and what little time I have left over to myself, I actually want to spend it writing books. So the blog may continue to be silent for a while as I work my way through these sweet, busy, eventful years.

Meet the author

Jenelle Leanne Schmidt

Jenelle first fell in love with stories through her father’s voice reading books aloud each night. A relentless opener-of-doors in hopes of someday finding a passage to Narnia, it was only natural that she soon began making up fantastical realms of her own. Jenelle currently resides in the wintry tundra of Wisconsin —which she maintains is almost as good as Narnia — with her knight-in-shining armor and their four hobbits. When she is not writing, she homeschools said hobbits and helps them along on their daily adventures... which she says makes her a wizard.

Welcome, Dear Reader

You are stronger than you think. You are braver than you think.

Courage is not about an absence of fear, it is making the choice to face your fear and not let it rule you.

In my stories, you will travel to new worlds with vivid landscapes. You will meet characters who will become your friends. You will go on adventures and fulfill quests and overcome obstacles.

You will be home in time for dinner… but you will not go home unchanged.

Here, you will find a haven from the darkness of the world around you, and when you close the book, my great hope is that you will have found the strength to face that darkness, knowing you are not alone.
