Douglas Bornemann

Smart ensemble casts working at cross purposes, intricate plots that challenge the reader but ultimately satisfy, and nuanced characters capable of conveying more by what they imply than what they state directly—these are some of the literary niches Douglas J. Bornemann seeks to fill with the Dreamweaver Chronicles, his complex fantasy series. By night, he blends his diverse experiences as a lawyer, bench biologist/geneticist, and long-time gamer to painstakingly craft compelling narratives that harken back to the glory days of fantasy, where each new author promised a unique take rather than a formulaic retelling of the latest fad. His current writing efforts are aided by consummate book critic and ginger tabby Reshi, who dropped by one day and decided to stay. Member SFWA.
