D.P. Rowell is the author of Vranon Lore, a YA epic fantasy series. He and his wife currently reside in Nashville. Since discovering stories like The Lord of the Rings and Avatar: the Last Airbender, as a child (and obsessing over them as an adult), fantasy has been his favorite genre of entertainment. His commitment to his readers: to build fascinating and magical worlds, craft engaging stories within them, and develop compelling characters that readers can't help but root for as they discover their place in the world—while fighting dragons with awesome, otherworldly powers, of course.
