<p>Hi! I'm Roderick.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The first story I remember writing was a retelling of 'Little Red Riding Hood', told from the perspective of the wolf. I wrote it as a play for my hand puppets. At the time, I thought it was incredibly inventive. And it was pretty terrible. I was also 8 years old.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>I never did finish that story, but I did fall in love with stories and story telling. I'm never far from a good book. And while I'll read almost anything, I have a preference for reading and writing fantasy.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>After dabbling with writing stories over the years I finally sat down to write a book in 2019. And I haven't stopped yet.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>When I'm not writing I spend most of my time with my wife and two daughters. Any remaining time goes to rock climbing, gardening and trying to play the guitar.</p>
