About the author
Me? Oh...
I wrote my first book all the way back in 1999, at 14 years old. Or, you know, at least that's how it _felt_. In reality it was just a badly written short story scribbled in a worn-out school pad. However, I do believe it ignited the itch I would soon need to scratch over and over for the rest of my life. Because two years later, at 16, I wrote my first actual novel - a 200-page paranormal story containing demons, human sacrifices and sarcastic humor. In other words, a real cozy story - and my MOM liked it, so there!
Been writing ever since, while also getting a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, and a Technical Degree in 3D Game Design. Currently, I'm developing websites, running Google Ads and helping clients in indie-publishing, while living in a picturesque, mountainous area in Norway with my woman and our two rabbits... yeah, you better believe they're fluffy as all hell - all three of 'em, bwahaha.

The three things Dimitrios would grab in case of a fire, would be his Lord of the Rings book collection, his Chrono Trigger SNES game, and his dog, Poko.
July 2020 marked the beginning of his author career with the release of the Mana Trilogy, an epic fantasy saga focusing on world and civilization-building.
Dimitrios was born in Thessaloniki, Greece and is now living in Berlin with his partner and his doggo.
Spinning chaos into art and writing. Mostly chaos.

Send him an email and he will certainly respond, since he's not a fake human, at Nolanlocke.author@gmail.com. Go for it! See what happens.
Damien Hanson was born in Merrill, Wisconsin where he rushed off to the Army, then college, then Korea, where he settled down with his lovely wife. He teaches at Kimpo University by day, and at his own academy by night, somehow finding time for Dnd with his friends every month and time with his son every night.
J. F. Danskin is a Scottish writer of fantasy novels in several sub-genres on top of his day job as a university academic.
LitRPG >> The Shadow Kingdoms LitRPG series is set within a VRMMO game world, rich in detail and history. The series follows crafter Daria as she levels up within the game – and discovers more about the darkness underlying it in the process. Start with The Knights of Dawn.
Historical Fantasy >> The Druid Stones Saga is a historical fantasy series based in early Scotland. Although it is loosely based on important historical events that led to the founding of Scotland as a kingdom, most of the characters are fictional. The setting is also a version of Scotland where myth and magic are real. Start with The Broken Circle and visit www.jfdanskin.com to get a free copy of The Bonding, a prequel novella to the Druid Stones Saga.
J. F. Danskin was born and raised in Scotland, and lives there still, with particular connections to Edinburgh, Orkney, Ayrshire, Perthshire, and Fife.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... well, not really that long ago... or far even, but for the purpose of this description we will pretend... A boy-child was born to a pair of loving parents, and this boy-child would grow, nurtured and loved... but also steeped in the culture of the 80s and 90s, so you can probably guess how he turned out... As a gamer! A lover of Sci-fi and Fantasy books, and a student of Computer Science.
All of these things have merged together, like Captain Planet and the Elements... nah, Voltron (The lions, not the wierdo cars). Much cooler, to form the man, the myth, the published, J. Arthur Klein.
To be continued...
D.A. Monath is a military and business analyst who loves reading and writing sci-fi and fantasy stories about creative characters who overcome impossible forces through humanity, ingenuity, and perseverance. When he's not swimming or writing, his life is a blend of family, biergartens, and story-based gaming.
Knows what can change the nature of a man, has original evidence Han shot first, wields the power of Xyzzy, and is definitely selling fine leather jackets like the one he's wearing.
