edit data

Adam Holcombe daylights as a programmer and moonlights as an author. After spending years toying with the idea of writing, he decided to fully commit and work toward releasing his first novel.

Then Gam Gam got in the way, and his first novel became his first novella. The novel will come later.

When he’s not locking himself in a cold basement to type away, he can be found squishing his dog (but not too hard), squawking at his tortoise (but not too loudly), goofing off with his wife (in perfectly ordinary, non-weird ways), DMing for his friends (I even got to play as a character a couple times!), or the usual chilling at home. He is a lover of books, board games, video games, and swords.

Adam is currently working on more Gam Gam stories, as well ...more

Quotes by Adam Holcombe (?)

“We are human, and we are fallible. But as long as we promise to learn and grow, then we are as good as we can be.”

“ To souls from Beyond, hear my cry.
Return to life, to death deny.
Cross my tether to old domains.
Renewed to save she who remains.
I have cozy knitted garments as reward! ”
