A.E. Greythorne

I'm your ordinary day-dreaming, night-writing, word-weaving pen scratcher. A human who wants to inspire the world as much as the world inspires them; a will-o'-the-wisp incarnate who never lost their longing to lead others to adventures grand.

Before noon, you're likely to catch me plotting over a pint of steaming tea. After midday, you're not likely to catch me at all--by then I've completely faded into my tales of mountains, monsters, and the mystical.

I draw much of my musing from my favorite authors, who include J.R.R. Tolkien, Gail Z. Martin, R.R. Virdi, George R.R. Martin, E.A. Copen, and Patrick Rothfuss, among many others.

High fantasy, urban fantasy, and science fiction are my reading (and writing) genres of choice, though my current project that I will be sharing here in installments ("Sullied City: Eyes Wide Open") is a gritty contemporary fantasy set in the backstreets of Detroit, a world where gods walk the earth and the citizens practice alleyway magic in the late night hours. You might say legends and mythos are my bread and butter; I'm excited to focus primarily on Celtic mythology for my current novel.
