A.L. Sterling is the storyteller and dreamer behind Bricks First Publishing. Raised on a steady diet of epic tales and myths, Sterling weaves narratives that explore courage, faith, and wonder. Years spent traveling through forests and mountains inspired worlds filled with daring heroes and hidden magic.

Each story invites readers to embark on their own journey of hope and transformation. Sterling believes that fiction has the power to kindle light in the darkest places and help us rediscover the hero within. Bricks First began as a personal quest to share uplifting stories, and today it continues to grow into a community of readers who believe in the impossible. Join Sterling on this quest, sketching legendary beasts by firelight and step into a world where imagination conquers fear. Between chapters, they hike, read legends aloud, and collect curious stones.
