Avory Schanfelter

Adopted at a young age, he spent his childhood creating stories across his family farm. The only limit to his adventures was his imagination, but as he grew, he found books to be a wellspring for infinitely varied adventure. This love for literature was carried on throughout his time in the Marines, and was not halted during his deployment to Sangin, Afghanistan in 2012. After his enlistment ended, he found a new home in Louisiana, where he turned his love for reading into a love for writing. Now equipped with eclectic tastes and unusual experiences, he now strives to weave tales that entrance, and thrill, and transport the mind. (Photo by arianjrz@gmail.com.)
