edit data

H. W. Dante is a pen name used by an author looking to challenge what is expected of traditional writing and works of fiction based on popular video games. Too often, it feels as though literary works based on video games are “watered down” for readers and not true to the source material, lacking excitement and weight. This author hopes to change that, writing stories that both readers new to the experience will enjoy, and seasoned players of the games will appreciate.
