Inspired by philosophical discussions with his teenage son, Cherney uses storytelling to navigate challenging ideas surrounding existence and purpose; exploring vice and virtue through science-fantasy world-building and relatable characters.
Cherney's books are short and illustrated, making them accessible to a broad readership, yet they don’t shy away from difficult topics.
His goal is to entertain, provoke thought and discussion, and guide readers toward a deeper understanding of God.
“Clever, entertaining, and thought-provoking...
Cherney draws the reader into an ancient truth
with fresh imagery, strategic emotion, and
a rich understanding of the power of allegory!”

On Retter's Fountain (Listeners of Libertas, Book 1)
“The storytelling carries the immediacy of Andy Weir while weaving in the rich allegory reminiscent of C.S. Lewis...
Cherney layers in thought-provoking themes about creation, virtue, and the search for meaning,
all while keeping the narrative pulsing with action, thrilling rescues, tense moments of survival,
and gripping suspense that keep readers turning the page.”
