About the author
Mike Carss
Mike Carss is a fantasy author and ambient musician based in Ottawa, Canada.<br><br>While his writing sits firmly within the fantasy genre, he favours stories that explore the subtleties of human connection over sweeping battles or grand destinies. Rest assured, however, that action and adventure still play an important role.<br><br>His stories are always told through the eyes of a single protagonist, allowing readers to form a close bond as the character struggles in their endeavours. Fundamental in this storytelling approach is a deliberately small cast of supporting characters—portrayed with the same flaws and vulnerabilities we acknowledge in ourselves. Readers have frequently remarked on how much they’ve grown to love his characters, a testament to his focus on authenticity and emotional resonance.<br><br>He writes purely for the love of the craft, making his novels available for free at most major retailers.<br><br>Under the musical monikers <em>Altus</em> and <em>Loneward</em>, Mike has produced many evocative soundscapes that reflect his fascination with the concepts of time, memory, and nostalgia, as well as his deep love for nature and the universe we inhabit.<br><br>When not immersed in writing or music, Mike enjoys losing himself in films and videogames.<br><br>Follow Mike on Goodreads:<br>https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7218891.Mike_Carss<br><br>His Music:<br>https://www.altusmusic.ca<br>
