M F Alfrey has always been fascinated by creatures – especially the strange and the overlooked, from peculiar dinosaurs to bizarre insects. A lifelong love of wildlife and monsters had him dreaming of a career in special creature FX, but with no clear path at the time, he turned to art. Eventually, that passion evolved into writing, where he now brings his own monsters to life on the page. From the horrific to the inexplicable, his creatures are more than just threats – they’re the wildlife of his worlds, serving as antagonists, protagonists, or mirrors of humanity in all its beauty and brutality.

Two - I simply rest the project and hop onto another one. Sometimes while I'm on a different project it will free up the flow issues I was having on the one that's resting. (less)

I was curious. I missed the D&D books as a kid, so thought I'd try out Dragons of Autumn Twilight. I found it a mixed read, sometimes young adult yet with adult elements and themes. The story style and themes are very indicative of the time it was wr ...more
