Todd Mika (born 1985) is a fantasy writer based out of the American Midwest.

As a young boy, he was captivated by classic literature: Longfellow's musings, Poe's madness, Tolstoy's lamentations, Dickens' tales, Shakespeare's sonnets, and Doyle's mysteries. By middle school he was penning heroic-fantasy game ideas and Star Wars fanfiction, which evolved into tabletop roleplaying games to play out his original stories with family and friends. In 2015 he self-published Grimmgard, an original roleplaying game book, and in 2020 he published Tales from Grimmgard: An Anthology of Dark Fantasy. His newest book is Grimmgard: Heirs of Destruction! ...more

It makes you doubt things. It makes you afraid of things you were never afraid of before, as if only once they are gone do you realize what silent reassurance their life gave you. There is a strange despair after loss, and that despair brings out a different side of us."

Quotes by Todd Mika (?)

“But here is my riddle: if given the choice to stand out from the crowd or blend in, why choose the latter? Why settle for being the rain when you can be the thunder?”

Todd’s Quotes

“Most of the big things in the world didn’t happen because someone was particularly wise, brave, or talented, but because there was someone who didn’t give up.”

“It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end… because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing… this shadow. Even darkness must pass.”
