My name is Casey Sutton. I am a huge nerd and have been carrying books around with me since I was old enough to walk and carry things. I grew up immersed in fantasy worlds in books, video games, and playing Dungeons and Dragons with my friends. I was usually stuck being the Dungeon Master and creating imaginary worlds and characters for my friends.

I am an Army veteran, and have been to both Iraq and Afghanistan. I spent my time overseas reading fantasy books and dreaming about being a writer one day, but didn't get the push to follow my dreams until a near-death experience in South Africa in 2018. I quit waiting around to write and started my book that night—in the hospital bed.

A bit more about me, I love cats and have four. I am also a sel ...more

Do you think your years of tabletop roleplaying influence how you write? Our DM wrote books for himself, not that were published, for us to read. He wrote them based on the characters that we played in his games. It was interesting to see how he wrote our characters (like he played them himself) versus how we played them. Did you use your sessions to influence the character generation in your books as well?

Casey Sutton Great question! I was actually just on a podcast and mentioned this. I think it absolutely did. I started playing D&D in the 6th grade and my friends …moreGreat question! I was actually just on a podcast and mentioned this. I think it absolutely did. I started playing D&D in the 6th grade and my friends always forced me to be the DM usually. I always wanted to be a player and make a cool class to play. But I saw how happy being a DM made my friends and enjoyed creating worlds and stories for them. So I think that's probably where my writing/storytelling career actually started!

I actually haven't based Malfus or any of this on any previous characters or sessions. I like the idea of that, but I had some pretty specific ideas, at least for this story anyway!

But, I did really want a grimdark/adult version of some of the D&D novels I read as a kid like Drizzt and the Dragonlance series. I loved novels like that as a kid, but haven't seen any that have the dark grittiness of Joe Abercrombie that I love. SO I wrote my own!(less)

Casey Sutton liked Brad's review of Malfus: Necromancer Unchained (The Damned and the Dead, #1): "This book is incredibly punk rock in a very grass roots/buck tradition sort of way. The entire book focuses on a single battle between an isolated fort and an army of monsters, which allows it to buck a lot of more standard story patterns while still" Read more of this review »
