About Me
I was born in 1980, had an interesting upbringing (as I'm sure we all have), and rebelled as a teenager. I have since realized I was not the only person to do this (hence previous the parenthetical statement). After ten tumultuous years I barely remember, I moved to Denver, Colorado. Things have been different ever since.
I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, I've worked in the tech world for over 10 years, and prefer Mac to PC (when I get to choose). I enjoy a good cigar, volunteer at the Great American Beer Festival almost every year, and believe that coffee is fuel for writing.
Speaking of which, I write books. Mostly Fantasy novels. So far, I've completed 3 manuscripts:
- The Ninth Avatar (Epic Fantasy, released by Trapdoor Books in 2010)
- Thomas Redpool Goes To Hell (Religious Satire, self-published)
- Scions of the Shade (Epic Fantasy, unrelated to #1, currently unpublished)
I'm working on a 4th at the moment, Rise of the Carrion, which will be the prequel to The Ninth Avatar. I have plans for more Fantasy after that, so if you're into it, stick around a while. Check my Upcoming Projects page for more details on what that might look like.
I'm not currently represented by an Agent, but I'm open to the idea. If you want to connect, feel free to network my blog, my Twitter feed, and find me on Facebook.
You can find The Ninth Avatar, Thomas Redpool Goes To Hell, Scions of the Shade, and Rise of the Carrion on Facebook too (the latter 3 obviously subject to change since the books haven't been published yet). Also, make sure you follow @thomasredpool's Twitter feed. He doesn't always talk much, but who on Twitter does? Ha!
