Bio
Fantasy/science fiction is my bread and butter, and I have been an avid reader of the genre for as long as I can remember. Inspired by the likes of R.A. Salavatore, Weiss/Hickman, and others, I think of my work as an homage to their legacy.

Somber Reflections
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. There was no telling how long it had been tucked away in the cobweb infested basement room in the north wing of the palace, draped with a rotting linen coverlet so old and faded that the original color was long since lost under a dingy grey veneer. I certainly couldn’t ask about it, since it had been declared by my father, the king, that access to the north wing was prohibited to all, regardless of station. “Unsafe,” it was said to be. None asked why the royal architects were not put to work making it safe. The one time I tried to ask I was ignored, my father pointedly speaking over me and pushing me aside. “Go to your lessons and do not trouble me with silly questions,” he muttered into my ear as he nudged me toward the door.

The Blue Dragon's Purpose
There weren’t always dragons in the valley of Locanth, located just beyond the western border of the Kilaren Empire. For millennia it has been a sanctuary for beings with nowhere else safe to go. It is now home to members of dozens of different races, many of whom are the last that remains of their kind. Some of the inhabitants – dark (Drow) elves, lycanthropes, fae, and others – came to escape or avoid persecution. There are many in the world outside the valley who believe the often-nightmarish tales told about them; tales that have little to no basis in truth, but are believed by the ignorant and spread by the ignorant, hateful, and corrupt.
