Explora Books has arranged a private meeting between author Curtis Lind and a film producer to explore potential creative interpretations of Beyond the Veil: Quest for the Samhain Treasure. It’s a natural curiosity for a book that blends adventure, folklore, and emotional undercurrents into a story that feels both fantastical and quietly sincere.
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 27th Nov 2025 – Lind’s novel follows Sophie and Pierre, two African Gray parrots whose idyllic life in their enchanted tree-home, Babu Nyumbani, takes a sharp turn when a silvery invitation arrives—summoning them to a Halloween celebration hosted by Pomona, Roman goddess of the harvest. The premise may sound whimsical, yet the story quickly reveals deeper roots. Behind the pumpkins, spirits, and otherworldly guides lies a more personal search: the siblings’ hope to uncover what happened to their family, who mysteriously vanished years before.
The journey that follows—stretching from whispering forests to pumpkin graveyards, from spectral gatherings to ancient chambers—has the charm of a fable but the stakes of a quest myth. Lind writes Sophie and Pierre not as caricatures but as siblings negotiating fear, loyalty, and the uneasy space between trust and caution. Their encounters with beings like Crooked Straw, Luna the owl, and Archibald the badger turn the narrative into a study of shifting allegiances: who can be believed, who is deceived, and who is still learning what they truly stand for.
What makes the book resonate beyond its magical elements is its meditation on heritage and burden. Archibald’s revelation about his ancestral duty, the Vex Shadows’ attempts to preserve their dominion, and the ancient key tied to the Samhain treasure all invite questions about what it means to inherit a world in need of mending. The treasure itself—wisdom rather than wealth—guides the story toward a gentler truth: that restoration and clarity often matter more than triumph.
The arranged meeting between Curtis Lind and the film producer offers an opportunity to discuss whether this blend of folklore, adventure, and emotional recovery could be explored in another medium. No commitments have been made; instead, it’s an open conversation—one shaped by the novel’s rich imagery and the quiet poignancy beneath its Halloween shimmer.
For Explora Books, facilitating the meeting is another step in supporting authors whose worlds invite collaborative imagination. For Lind, it becomes a chance to hear how another storyteller envisions the echoing forests, spectral hills, and shifting loyalties of his Samhain realm.
Beyond the Veil: Quest for the Samhain Treasure is soon available through Explora Books and major booksellers. To learn more, visit explorabooks.com.
