edit data

Asghar (pronounced Uhz-grr) lives in Southern California with his wife, Leema. By day, he works as a technology consultant; by night, he builds worlds where science fiction and fantasy collide in thrilling, cinematic tales.

A lifelong fan of immersive storytelling—from RPGs and anime to books and film—he loves creating stories that make readers feel like they’re in the middle of the action. His characters are colorful, imperfect, and driven to grow in the face of heart-pounding adventure.

When he’s not writing, Asghar paints, experiments with 3D printing, and travels with his wife, discovering inspiration in every new city they visit.
