edit data

Ian West writes about small towns with big secrets, quiet corners of America where something strange is always glowing just past the tree line. His stories share a single connected universe, the Cataclysm Saga, stretching from the backroads of Vermont to the plains of Minnesota and beyond.

He is the author of Continuance and the novel Bannon ’79, the first installment in the Bannon trilogy.

When he isn’t writing, he’s usually logging miles on long runs or keeping two old machines alive: a ’66 Chevy pickup and a ’78 Trans Am, both of which have been known to find their way into his fiction.

He lives in Charlotte, North Carolina.
