I figure I ought to introduce myself, which I don’t want to do, because that’s boring. So instead I figure I’ll tell you some of the stuff I nerd out about. I’ll keep it writing-related. I can respect a theme.
Author: Oliver Blakemore
Oliver Blakemore‘s writing career is the result of sidestepping two or three other careers. At twelve, he started writing when directing movies proved to involve too many hurdles—like talking and wearing dopey hats. At seventeen, he forgot to learn how to play guitar and start a metal band, because he had a short story due. And at twenty-one, he was kicked out of seminary. That probably impacts some of the themes he tackles. The result: music, movies, and a sense of grounded oddity inform all his writing, for better or worse.
Oliver has mainly written fantasy and science fiction. He’s self-published a collection of short stories, Ragged Museum, and an urban fantasy novel, City Song.
