edit data

Ian Cadena is a native Texan that craves cold weather and a lush colored Autumn with a cool breeze!

He should have figured it out sooner that he desired to be a writer when he was writing out story-lines for his action figures and creating his own campaigns and backstories for his friends while playing Dungeons & Dragons.

He holds a degree in Theater & Writing and works on his novels and nefariously plots from his secret lair.

He has been fascinated by cryptids, magick, and the paranormal since he was a kid and it is this fascination that fuels his writing.
