Author Biography

Leonard has been writing stories since the 3rd grade, when he had two separate stories he’d written, printed, and bound and then made available for his fellow students to check out from his elementary school library. Since then, he’s never looked back (although he’s become much better as a storyteller). Inspired by classic fantasy authors, he’s always been equally drawn to stories that focus on the morality of the characters as well as the unique worlds they populate. He studied English and Psychology with a soupçon of the hard sciences at the University of Oregon to help him unravel the how and the why of worlds as well as people, and graduated while making the Dean’s List with a Bachelor of Arts. He makes his home in the Pacific Northwest, playtesting his world of Auren with RPGs, beta readers, and now, people like you!
