ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I grew up on a small farm just outside of Cape Town, South Africa, but would often frequent the unspoiled beaches of nearby coast. It was there, laying on the beach, cooldrink in hand, where I had my first exposure to fantasy writing. Ever since that moment, I would constantly scour the local second-hand book stores, searching for any cover hinting at magic, strangeness, or grandiose adventure.
It would only be much later, after having moved to the United States, that a dream to write a story of my own took shape, a story that would be just like those amazing tales I used to read...
