Why I Became an Author: Awakening Truth Through Story

Updated: May 30



By Bill Combs | www.billcombs.com


I didn’t become an author to chase fame or fill a bookshelf. I became an author because something in me woke up—and once it did, I couldn’t go back to sleep.


For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt drawn to the hidden layers of reality. I was the kid who asked too many questions, who stayed up late wondering what lies beyond the stars—or beyond the veil. I wasn’t interested in just what things were. I wanted to know why. And more importantly: What are we not being told?


Over the years, that curiosity led me down some winding paths. I devoured books on quantum physics, ancient mysteries, consciousness, and esoteric teachings. I studied sacred texts and underground history. I started seeing patterns—threads that connected everything: science, spirit, myth, and personal transformation. But the more I learned, the more I realized something crucial…


Most people aren’t hungry for facts. They’re starving for meaning.

And that’s when the idea hit me: What if I could take all these hidden truths, these big, bold questions about the nature of reality, and wrap them inside a page-turning story?

A story that doesn’t just entertain—but activates something inside.


That’s when The Quantum Gate was born.


The Mission Behind the Fiction

At first glance, The Quantum Gate is a metaphysical thriller—fast-paced, filled with secrets, ancient ruins, high-stakes mystery, and the collision of quantum science and ancient mysticism. But beneath the surface, it's much more than a novel. It’s a coded message. A spiritual adventure meant to pull you, the reader, into an experience that mirrors the one Ethan Cross, my protagonist, goes through.


Ethan is a physicist haunted by the impossible—a message from his dead mentor that sends him down a rabbit hole of buried knowledge, secret societies, and an ancient hall of records hidden beyond normal perception. Along the way, he’s forced to question everything: his beliefs, his grief, his purpose, and the nature of reality itself.


If that sounds like your story too, even in some small way—you’re not alone.


This is fiction written for seekers. For the spiritually curious. For those who feel the veil is thinning and want to explore what’s waiting behind it. Through storytelling, I’m trying to do what traditional teachings and lectures often can’t: move the soul as well as the mind.


Why Quantum? Why Metaphysical?

We live in a time where science and spirituality are no longer enemies—they’re starting to whisper the same truths.


Quantum physics tells us that reality is not fixed. That we live in a world of probabilities, shaped by consciousness itself. Ancient mystics said the same thing thousands of years ago: as within, so without. The Hermeticists, the Gnostics, the Vedic seers—they all hinted that consciousness creates form, not the other way around.


And yet, most mainstream fiction doesn’t touch this. Or when it does, it stays on the surface. I want to go deeper. I want to tell stories that weave together:

  • Quantum science

  • Esoteric traditions

  • Spiritual awakening

  • Ancient history reimagined

  • And the emotional hero’s journey that happens when someone starts to remember who they really are.


Realms Beyond the Page

In a sense, writing The Quantum Gate wasn’t just a creative act—it was a calling. I believe we’re living through a time of great awakening. People all over the world are sensing that something isn’t right with the reality we’ve been handed. They’re asking questions. Looking for something more. And stories—when told with heart and purpose—can be maps back to ourselves.


That’s what I hope to do with every book I write.


So, whether you’re drawn to quantum storytelling, curious about consciousness and the unseen, or just love a good metaphysical thriller—you’re in the right place. My stories are designed to entertain, yes. But also to challenge. To guide. To invite you into a deeper experience of who you are and what this life might actually be about.


Join the Journey

The Quantum Gate is just the beginning. The story world is expansive, and I’m already working on interconnected tales that explore origin myths, time-bending mysteries, sacred artifacts, and spiritual technologies hidden in plain sight. Each story will be a key—a frequency—meant to activate something different in each reader.

For the Searchers

If you’ve ever asked:

  • What if ancient myths are encoded truths?

  • What happens when consciousness becomes the lens through which we shape reality?

  • Can fiction spark spiritual awakening?


Then I invite you to join me on this journey.

Because the answers aren’t just out there. They’re within you. And sometimes, it takes a story to unlock them.

    The Quantum Gate is the first novel in a metaphysical thriller series that blends quantum physics, ancient mysteries, secret societies, and the search for hidden knowledge.

  • What is Quanticism as explored in your book?
    Quanticism, as explored in my book, is a metaphysical philosophy that integrates consciousness, quantum physics, and spiritual evolution. It suggests that reality is shaped by belief, intention, and resonance, and that humanity's destiny is to awaken to its divine, co-creative nature as part of a universal intelligence.

    The Quantum Gate series stands out due to its unique blend of science, mysticism, ancient wisdom, and metaphysical philosophy.

The series delivers fast-paced action and complex character arcs, reminiscent of The Da Vinci Code and The Celestine Prophecy.
