My journey to becoming the Bestselling author of ‘dorky books’ - as my sister is fond of calling them - began in the dark ages long before the internet was a thing with the original Dungeons and Dragons boxed set.

My mother bought that shiny red box for me after reading an ‘editorial’ in the local paper claiming that role playing games drove kids to worship dark forces in the sewers. I was ten, and it's probably a good thing there were no sewers on my street, otherwise, I would have delved down with my hand-crafted wooden sword and my trash can shield, ready to smite evildoers of all stripes, likely to never be heard from again.

Thankfully, my forays into the underworld never materialized, and I faced neither dragon nor goblin nor gelatinous cube. Instead, I turned my eye and my quill to writing fantastical tales.

Today, thanks to my two Bestselling LitRPG series, The Realms, which burst onto the LitRPG scene with Barrow King in February 2018, and The Quintessence, which incorporates cultivation elements and measured progression, I get to put professional author on my tax return.

In addition to my two current series, I am in the early stages of plotting a third LitRPG series, The Essence of Power as well as a kid friendly, Arthurian superhero, action-adventure series called Knightman & Page, both of which will be coming to Kickstarter in the next few years.
