About the author

RAAARRGGGH! I AM A MIGHTY NOVELIST AND ALSO DINOSAUR!

Hello. Welcome to the biography of Chris Braak, famous playwright and book-writing-guy. You may have heard the rumors that I am actually a velociraptor in disguise, wearing a suit that I made from the skins of my human victims, but that's obviously absurd! I mean, how, if I were such a thing, could I ever type? I'd need some kind of mechanical apparatus that fit over my saurian talons that I was able to use to manipulate an ordinary keyboard. I'd call it a talonic-mechano-typewriting engine, IF SUCH A THING EXISTED. Which it doesn't.

Anyway, read some of my books, or risk being devoured.

Also, I'm just adding anyone as a friend if we have more than 30 books in common. If there's a better criterion for friendship, I can't think of what it might be.

Pretty inventive fantasy. Not the usual tolkeinesque setup, more of an alt-hist world. I love that it slowly grows the mythos. My one complaint is that it's a setup - not a complete tale. But still worth reading. Now go make more of 'em, Braak!
