Brent K. Newcomb writes cross-generational fantasy adventures for curious children and for adults who never stopped looking for another door between worlds.
His Chronicles of Ber’Ebrin blend wonder, danger, humor, folklore, historical texture, and philosophical imagination. Influenced by the marvelous worlds of Baum, Carroll, Lewis, Tolkien, Grimm, Dahl, Adams, and Moorcock, he writes the kind of adventures he would have wanted to discover as a child—rich enough to reward a return visit.
As both a writer and an artist, Newcomb illustrates worlds with a pen and with words; the two forms of invention remain closely intertwined in his work. His fiction draws on mythology, folklore, historical research, and patient world-building to give its settings depth, texture, and period character.
A Midwest immigration attorney, Newcomb writes about friendship, family, sacrifice, courage, moral choice, madness, corruption, power, and the complicated struggle between good and evil.
