Born in Portland OR, Dylan moved to Washington state as a young boy. Growing up in a small town on the Olympic Peninsula, he spent most of his youth involved in various creative projects.

With a passion for films, music and writing, Dylan even had the honor of being featured in the Port Townsend Film Festival for his short film "La Niut Des Vampires".

Writing like crazy

As someone who spends equal amounts of time writing and reading stories, I often only get the pleasure of being surprised by the latter.
Usually, I see all the twists and turns coming in my own stories because, well, I'm the one doing the storytelling! Yet every once in a while, every so often, I find that I surprise even myself! I simply love it when my carefully crafted "plan" is shattered becau Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Dylan James Quarles (?)

“Air was cycled through the enclosure so that the bamboo bent and swayed in the gentle breeze. The effect created by this subtle movement gave one the feeling that they were not so far from home after all, that there was life to be admired even in the deadly vacuum of space.”
― Dylan James Quarles, The Ruins Of Mars

“Plausible deniability is not a moral code,”

“Then the human race will suffer another setback at the hands of its own ignorance. I, however, will not be party to such ignorance. Humans need to face the truth, and we are in a position to act as a catalyst in that quest.” For several seconds, Romulus did not answer. When he finally did, his voice was edged with a confidence Remus had never heard before.”
― Dylan James Quarles, The Ruins Of Mars
