Brian S. Leon is truly a jack-of-all-trades and a master of none. He began writing in order to do something with all the useless degrees, knowledge, and skills–most of which have no practical application in civilized society–he accumulated over the years.

His varied interests include, most notably, mythology of all kinds and fishing, and he has spent time in jungles and museums all over the world, studying and oceans and seas across the globe chasing fish, sometimes even catching them. He has also spent time in various locations around the world doing other things that may or may not have ever happened.

Inspired by stories of classical masters like Homer and Jules Verne, as well as modern writers like J.R.R. Tolkien, David Morrell, and Jim Bu ...more

Then I found myself wondering about the toughness of certain mythical creatures. Sure bullets don’t do anything to vampires, but what if he were hit by a really big bullet? Like a Raufoss high explosive armor piercing round from a.50 caliber rifle? That thing is designed to go through brick walls at 800 yards and then kill whatever is behind the wall. I don’t care what you are, that would have to hurt. And then I kinda started writing.(less)
