Alex Mykals, known on the Internet as PsiDraconis, was born in South Africa, left at the age of three months, and has since set foot in twenty five countries (and counting), and lived for extended periods in five, on all but one of the continents. Alex is the proud owner of a Physics Degree, and is now trying to find something to do with it. In the meantime, considerable time is being devoted to contemplating the navel—er, universe, and attempting to develop psychogenic abilities. Alex is a book addict, and has always wanted to write "a book that I'd enjoy reading." Adeptus Major is the result. The first, but, the author hopes, certainly not the last. Modern Crusaders series was the Royal Academy of Bards 2006 Hall of Fame Story.
