edit data

I’m a chaos-driven writer from Kansas City.

I grew up in a family with five boys, which taught me a great deal about patience and persistence. My parents were incredibly supportive of creativity, and thanks to their influence, my brothers and I pursued various forms of art.

I am married to a wonderful and supportive wife, and I have three daughters who will someday rule the world.

Though I earned a Bachelor of Arts in English, I gained more knowledge from David Farland/Wolverton and Priscilla Van Der Weele-Smith.

C.R. Guardian liked Samuel's review of Guild of Four: "Yes, there’s action and danger but the emotional core is what makes it special. You feel Chase’s grief, his determination, and his fear in every test. I already want to reread it."

C.R. Guardian liked Cass's review of Guild of Four: "If you love books where every chapter ends with you saying “just one more,” this is for you. Chase is a hero you’ll root for, and the assassins are terrifyingly good villains."
