Reynar Swan lives on the Costa del Sol with his wife Cinta, his greatest inspiration. Other inspirations include but are not limited to Robert E. Howard, J.R.R. Tolkien, Jane Austen, Virginia Woolf, Stephen King, Elmore Leonard, and Brandon Sanderson. An eclectic mix to be sure, but then as a reader, Reynar's a fan of every genre. As a writer, he tends to pen tales of Fantasy and Sword & Sorcery, almost all of which take place in the world of Mystica.

When not writing, he’s reading. When not writing or reading, he's exploring ruins. If he's not writing, reading, or exploring ruins, yeah, you can find him at the beach (usually with his trusty Kindle in hand).

Learn from it. Most importantly, READ, READ, READ. Genre doesn't matter. In fact, it would do you good to get outside your comfort zone and dive into genres you wouldn't normally consider.(less)

New Character Art for Fera

I'm always thrilled when I get a sketch or final artwork from the artist for Mystica Books. The Punisher Character Portrait came out EXCELLENT.

“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.”

J.R.R. Tolkien
“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!”
J.R.R. Tolkien
