Todd FahnestockWhen I was in high school, I devoured the works of Piers Anthony, Terry Brooks, and the Dragonlance Chronicles by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. I just couldn't get enough. But no matter what I read, it never seemed to have enough action in it, so n my senior year I resolved to write my own fantasy novel "with enough action in it." It was pretty bad, but at the time I thought it was awesome, so I wrote a second novel. It was also pretty bad, but I thought it was awesome so I wrote a third (aaaaand repeat). Now, many novels later, I'm a full-time writer. I have a few accolades. I'm a winner of the New York Public Library's Books for the Teen Age Award. My Tower of the Four, Threadweavers and The Whisper Prince epic fantasy series have all been bestsellers. My time travel novel, Charlie Fiction, was a finalist in the Colorado Authors League Best of 2019. But as fun as all of those things are, the best accolades are when I talk face-to-face with a fan. I go to a lot of cons, and when a fan takes the time to come up and tell me they liked my stories, it puts me up in the clouds.This is why I write: to spend time with heroes in worlds where anything can happen and to get those stories to readers who want to spend time there, too. In my spare time, I'm a black belt in Taekwondo and I teach at the Family Taekwondo Center of Littleton. I spend as much time as I can with my quirky family, swapping bodily-function-humor with my teenage son and scribing this generation's colorful slang from my teenage daughter. I've also been known to play Ticket to Ride to excess with my wife (and online with friends). I also often wrestle with Galahad the Weimaraner, my dog. Read More Read Less
