Meet the Bard
I’m Will Young Oakes, a storyteller riding under the banner of Christ. I write Westerns, biblical fantasy, and devotionals that weave courage, grace, and timeless faith into every tale. These aren’t just stories they’re ministry on horseback, written to inspire courage, hope, and faith in every reader.
