Fiction

One day I hope to join the ranks of all those great fantasy authors I enjoy reading and put a published book on the shelf, but I’m not quite there yet.

Articles

In addition to this blog, I’ve written articles for Fantasy Faction, an independent website for fans of fantasy fiction. You can read my articles here (and check out other great articles and reviews by writers, fans and analysts of fantasy).

German translations of my articles have also been published on Tor Online.

Academic Writing

I love writing fiction, but I’m also interested in the study and analysis of fantasy literature, creative writing, and world-building (which is one of the reasons I write this blog). Below are a few articles and book chapters I’ve published on these topics:
