D. R. Casselman

D.R. Casselman** is a Southern California native, author, composer, illustrator, and producer whose creative work spans theatre, poetry, and speculative fiction. Her diverse career also includes pioneering work in the computer industry and decades of business consulting, experiences that have shaped her disciplined, imaginative approach to storytelling.

Her lifelong fascination with languages, cultures, history, and the enduring power of myth inspired the creation of her epic fantasy series, Tales of Narda. First sparked by the works of J.R.R. Tolkien during her travels in the Far East, Casselman went on to create an entirely original world complete with its own languages, genealogies, geography, histories, and creatures.

Tales of Narda is a sweeping sword-and-sorcery saga filled with ancient evil, unlikely alliances, perilous quests, and a race against time to save a world from conquest. Through immersive world-building, high-stakes adventure, and characters shaped by sacrifice and destiny, Casselman delivers a richly crafted fantasy experience for readers who love expansive, deeply imagined worlds.

Road to Andolan is the first volume in the four-book series, followed by Paths of Fyr with Lord of Gorst forthcoming.
