About Me
Spawned in Iowa, forged in the crucible of the eighties, and battle-hardened in the days before the internet, Zef Aardland is a byproduct of a long-lost era. He spent his youth typing stories on his grandmother's 1930s typewriter, playing D&D with the iconic red-box set, and reading fantasy novels in the back of a Winnebago while his dad drag-raced across the United States. It was the perfect life for a future author to refine his imagination.
Throughout his career, Zef has worn many hats, including photographer and CG animator. However, his most cherished role is being a father to his two sons. Their love of creativity reignited Zef’s passion for writing, and he looks forward to bringing his imagination to the page.
