Erik Harlow

Erik Harlow is a Southern California native who grew up on a steady diet of trolls, hobbits, and spaceships. When he wasn’t reading Piers Anthony, Douglas Niles, or Philip K. Dick, he was corralling friends into tabletop campaigns, many of which he shamelessly cannibalized for his first stories.

After studying astrophysics, he did the obvious thing: started a rock band. That’s where he met his wife, who still joins him on every adventure (though fewer involve dice rolls these days).

He now lives in the San Fernando Valley, where he writes:

The Magus Gene, a sci-fantasy saga set in the far future

A Seasoned Saga, a fantasy series with a dash of culinary chaos, and laugh‑out‑loud heroics

The Memory of Iron, an epic coming-of-age fantasy series (coming October 14th 2026!)
