Tim Akers splits his writing time between roleplaying games and novels. Since college he has earned credits with White Wolf, Wyrd Games, Paizo, and Kobold Press. His novels range from New Weird thrillers like Heart of Veridon to traditional epic fantasy with the Hallowed War trilogy. His current series is the Knight Watch series, described as Men in Black at the Ren Faire. His next novel, Wraithbound, starts a new epic flintlock fantasy adventure in an apocalyptic world of hard magic, dangerous cabals, and ancient secrets.

He lives in Chicago with his indefatigable wife and a mountain of unpainted miniatures.
