Purveyor of Oxford commas, and aspiring person, Roland Hesmondhalgh's formative years were spent hopping between military bases - both in the United States and beyond - as his family followed his father on postings. His writing style is the brimstone-laced result of being both self-taught and classically trained across different mediums and formats. He's no stranger to dichotomy.

A journalist by trade until his conscience (and Hell-raising) got the best of him, he now writes speculative fiction of all kinds as a creative outlet and for readers' entertainment. Sci-fi, fantasy, contemporary, as long as there are no guide rails, he's content to let the characters and story tell him what comes next.
