After earning his Ph.D. in Theology, Theo decided academic treatises that no one will read (beyond other academics) was a dull way to spend his life. So, he began using his background in religious studies to create new worlds and magic – informed by religious myths, ancient and modern – that would intrigue readers, inspire imaginations, and speak to real-world problems in fantastical ways.

To date, Theo has written and published more than 80 fantasy and urban fantasy novels – most of them on his trusty Hemingwrite or Traveler.

Marty's been using his imagination to avoid weeding since he was in short pants. A devotee of the short form, Martin believes very strongly in writing fast-paced, exciting fiction you can complete in a single sitting.
