edit data

R.J. Batla is a fantasy author and fan of the genre. He’s working on series in both epic and urban fantasy, and likes to write fast paced books that take the reader on an adventure that they can see in their mind. His books reflect influences from novels, comic books, manga, and other cartoons/media, and he joys in blending in these elements in his books.

Author, Christian, Husband, and Father, R.J. Batla enjoys everything outdoors and takes as much time as he can with his family. When he’s not writing, you’ll find him outside (thinking about writing), working out (and thinking about writing) or various other places (all while thinking about writing).

Profile – Elves on Terraunum

Elves – essential to any fantasy novel. Ok, maybe not essential, but one of the most common. When I started writing this series, I wasn’t sure where I was going to take them, but I really liked how it turned out. Let’s dive in and look more about the elven race and how they fit into the larger world. Some of this is taken direction from the ‘Ranger’s Field Manual’, something I made for me to help
