Chad Waller

I hate writing about myself, so let's start with an easy ice breaker: If I had to pick any fantasy world to live in, I'd choose Redwall. Why? Well, name a cozier place. Go on. I'm waiting. See, you can't because Redwall is the coziest. And it has squirrels and drunk hedgehogs and hares with swords, and only the one ghost but he's a pretty nice chap all things considered. It's awesome.

I love to read and I love to write, and both of those things are obvious given that this is an author's page. I also love music. I love to scream. I have a death metal project called Inonum, which is kind of stupid but is still better than not having a death metal project. My top favorite bands are Godsmack, Wintersun, and Bobaflex--so radio rock, pretentious melodeath, and indie metal you probably haven't heard of. I also love Taylor Swift, just so we have a clear picture of what I'm about.

I work on video games with my brother. We have a company called Dual Wield Software. Somewhere in a file cabinet is an honest-to-god LLC for it. Life comes at you fast, even if it takes five years to make a game worth playing.

That's about it. I have two cats. One is named Ripley, the other Coal. They're both morons, but in that cute, only-a-cat-can-be-this-stupid way. I podcast, but who doesn't these days? I have a degree in English, which lets you know I make bad decisions. Got that from Viterbo University. Hi Rolf, if you're still about! Lyon, too. I hope you're both well.

To the stranger looking at this page, thank you. It means you found me somehow and were interested in seeing more. That's awesome. You're awesome. If you grab a book, I hope you like it. I won't hold it against you if you don't, though. Life's too short.
