Brian S. Gardner has always been a storyteller. Even as a boy, he would tell his mother stories he crafted while playing with Legos. He wrote poetry in high school, but after a senior Literature class, he grew a love for reading, especially fantasy novels. He devoured Lord of the Rings and Dragonlance and even got into World of Warcraft because of the fantasy setting. Over time, he got frustrated with the confines of others’ designs, so Brian started writing his own fantasy novel.
Brian grew up in Orlando and lives in Lakeland, Florida with his wife, Lora, two kids, Nicholas and Alexis, two dogs, Bella and Molly, and two cats, Lilly and Mallory. Beyond writing, he loves traveling and making memories with his family, reading, playing games of all kinds, and watching his children craft their own stories.
