Gerald L. Black began writing in high school at the urging of many writing teachers. Starting with poetry and, for many years, lyrics for the songs written by various bands for which he was singer, he spent over twenty years creating a world based on the celtic languages, which was used for a role playing game. Finally, at the urging of a most supportive wife, he wrote his first novel, inspired by literary heroes such as Conan, Elric, Kane, and Oron and based on his own role playing campaigns. Although born in Fort Collins, Colorado, he now resides in Phoenix, Arizona with his wife. He has three daughters, three sons, three grandaughters, and two dogs. In his spare time, he likes to sing, listen to heavy metal, and read fantasy novels. He can be reached at http://chroniclesofthesentientsword.com or on facebook.
