M. Warren Askins spent his early adult years pursuing an assortment of professions ranging from youth leadership to aerospace welding. It wasn't until his mid-thirties that he decided to try his hand at writing, and went to work publishing his first novel, "Beyond the Spire of Navarene" — a take on both Grimdark Fantasy and Arthurian Romance. Readers were instantly captivated by Askins’ ability to infuse his prose with a witty modern sensibility, all while remaining true to genre. Over the years his works have resonated with readers who enjoy well-paced, violent tales that are keenly edged by a sense of dark humor.
