Nature Within Us “A Book About Compassion in a Complicated World”

Albert Alarcon Jr. writes stories about courage, compassion, and the small truths that shape our lives. His first book, Sally the Bold, introduces a young disabled knight whose strength comes not from armor, but from the heart. He later published Freedom at the Lake and Other Fables, a collection of moral tales for readers of all ages.

His newest work, The Nature Within Us, explores what it means to find meaning, goodness, and kindness in a world that constantly tests our compassion.

A lifelong lover of nature, conversation, and storytelling, Albert enjoys the forest and the beach when he isn’t writing. He also has a soft spot for Godzilla, Star Trek, and the Beatles. He lives in California with his wife, Darla.
