edit data

Carson Hawkes is the debut author of The Shadow Spark. Raised around artists and video game illustrators, he began constructing fictional worlds on floppy disks—developing a lifelong fascination with symbolism, moral consequence, and character-driven storytelling.

Raised exploring the mountains of Utah and shaped by time spent in New York, Las Vegas, and Moscow, Carson draws on both wilderness and urban decay to build immersive, fractured worlds. He now lives and works in the forests of Michigan, where he designs outdoor products for leading camping brands.

He is currently developing a new trilogy set in the aftermath of a human–Atlantean war, exploring power and belonging, in a world permanently altered by its own ambition.

Carson Hawkes liked Seth's review of The Shadow Spark: " great concept! Such an interesting story. Definitely felt like there's a specific twist that made me like the book less about halfway through. Also, moves a little bit fast for me."
