Author C. Craig Coleman
Having grown up in a small town in the Southern United States and submerged in its rich culture, Coleman enjoyed the freedom to explore the forests, farms, and swamps. He raised and studied endless creatures from insects to owls, while absorbing local traditions, myths, ghost stories, and social peculiarities. In college, he immersed himself in histories, arts such as castles & cathedrals, religions, music, new aspects of life. While in the Air Force, he explored the Southwest from desert landscapes to the Rocky Mountains with their almost mythical beasts, memorizing crystals, and epic tales. Wizards and dragons might well have emerged from such places. In the end, his experiences naturally led him to write the massive epic fantasy, The Neuyokkasinian Arc of Empire Series over more than a dozen years. The experiences through a lifetime flowed out on paper like a spewing lava flow of words and ideas from a volcanic imagination.
Stories of suspenseful murders, thrilling intrigues, and social taboos with juicy violations merged with the world Coleman grew up in. Rich histories and fascinating lives swirled in Coleman’s head subsequently spawning the Darius Morefield Mystery Series, rich in lore, vibrant characters, and life rising to challenges against dark beginnings.
