THE NOVEL · IN DEVELOPMENT

The Weight of
a Broken Crown

Historical fantasy

Can a son honor his father’s legacy without becoming his father?

In a world shaped by samurai culture, political intrigue, and fragile peace, a scholar-minded heir faces the weight of a warrior’s legacy.

The Weight of a Broken Crown explores family, loyalty, and the choices that define leadership—where understanding an opponent can matter as much as wielding a sword.

BEHIND THE STORY

A father first.
An author, too.

For Willie Mosley, writing is a way to build something his children can be proud of—and to show them what it means to pursue a dream.

His storytelling is shaped by faith, family, and a lifelong connection to chess. Strategy, sacrifice, and responsibility influence both the worlds he creates and the choices his characters face.
