Mike Medeiros

Mike Medeiros is the author of The Saga of the Chain, an epic fantasy series shaped by myth, memory, and the quiet power of human choice. His work explores where loss and hope intersect, asking what remains when certainty falls away and how meaning is forged through resilience, mercy, and the bonds that endure beyond darkness. Rather than offering escape, his stories invite readers back toward what matters most: connection, courage, and the weight of the choices we carry.

Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and raised in Brockton and later on Cape Cod, Mike’s sense of place was further shaped by many years spent in Colorado before he returned to New England. He now lives in the Great North Woods of New Hampshire, where long winters, quiet forests, and close-knit communities influence both the atmosphere and emotional cadence of his writing. The landscape itself often becomes a silent presence in his work, echoing themes of endurance, waiting, and slow transformation.

A lifelong lover of epic fantasy, tabletop role-playing, and myth-driven storytelling, Mike draws inspiration from the traditions of classic fantasy while grounding his stories in deeply personal questions of legacy and remembrance. Each chapter of The Saga of the Chain is paired with original illustrations, created to deepen immersion and honor his belief that stories are meant to be experienced as living worlds, not simply consumed as text.

When he is not writing, Mike is an educator, a student of systems and storytelling alike, and a devoted listener of classic and eighties rock. An avid vinyl record collector, he often world-builds while albums spin in the background, finding rhythm and reflection in music that has shaped generations. He writes for readers who believe that even in the darkest moments, meaning can still be forged and that the strongest chains are not made of iron, but of memory, mercy, and choice.
