About Luan Erasmus
Husband, father, geek, and apparently writer too.
Writing journey
I'm a fantasy author from Pretoria, South Africa. My writing career began as an accident, with a handful of terrible jokes disguised as poetry. Someone insisted they were actually good, which was both encouraging and slightly suspicious. I kept writing anyway.
Since then, I've published hundreds of articles as a freelance gaming journalist before trading reviews of someone else's creations for worlds of my own. By day I work in software; by night I create fantasy stories and build massive empires in some new strategy game.
Personal life
I'm married, have two amazing kids, collect miniature cars, enjoy video games and movies far more than is probably healthy, and once survived a 21 km obstacle course race. I also won an office StarCraft II tournament, which is either my greatest achievement or proof that I spent far too much time gaming.
If my books can give readers even half the joy that creating them has given me, I'll consider the adventure a success.
