Derek Alan Siddoway writes fast-paced fantasy with heart. Most of his tales feature mythical critters of some variety. As a journeyman storyteller, he has over a dozen books under his belt, including the internationally bestselling Gryphon Riders Trilogy, Djinn Tamer, and Mana Beasts. Derek spends his free time wandering through the tall grass, working on a small, fourth-generation farm, adventuring with his wife, and celebrating small victories. He’s also a loyal but often disappointed fan of the University of Utah Utes and Minnesota Vikings.
