I can't remember a time I wasn't reading. My journey began with Mom's copy of The Fantastic Voyage. Then she handed me A Wizard of Earthsea and Blade Runner. Part science, part magic—that combination lit a fire that's never gone out. My bookshelf holds Robert Jordan's sweeping epics, William Gibson's cyberpunk, and Sarah J. Maas & McKenzie Hunter's modern magic. Douglas Adams taught me that even world-ending scenarios deserve a good laugh. I've wanted to write since discovering a knack for it in college, but life had other plans—career, family, all the beautiful chaos that fills our days. In 2024, I finally decided my stories deserve more than the back corners of my mind. The worlds I create are vast, layered with intricate plots and subtle foreshadowing that I hope you find rewarding. Just like the books I love to read, that reveal new secrets on each read-through, where details matter and those "aha!" moments strike hard. I also strive to keep my stories accessible to every audience, but that doesn’t restrict them to simplicity. In my worlds, evil is real, stakes are high, and bad things happen to good people. The Veld series blends everything I love: forgotten powers awakening, ancient conspiracies hiding behind corporate facades, and ordinary people discovering they're anything but. If you're drawn to stories where cutting-edge tech collides with primordial forces, federal agents might be your saviors or your doom, and the greatest mysteries lie not in distant realms but in who we really are—welcome home. The best part of writing is creating these worlds for readers like you. I'd love to hear your theories, your favorite moments, which characters you can't stop thinking about. Every world I build seems to spawn a dozen more stories begging to be told, and your enthusiasm helps guide which paths to explore next. Thanks for joining me on this adventure. The Veld is waiting, and trust me—once you step inside, you'll never see our world quite the same way again. https://www.briangreystone.com/
