ABOUT DEAN 

Dean Kastle is the author of Sword Songs, the DOG of WAR Epic, and many short works. In addition to his love of 'story' in every medium, he's a rabid foodie, and soccer fanatic. As far as he's concerned, Pluto is still a planet, and the oxford comma is not up for debate. He doesn't wear a beret or write with a fountain pen, but he does own a life-size replica of the Iron Throne. From that perch, he plots the next tale of warfare, adventure, and betrayal. Readers can connect with Dean, get a free story, plus updates and more by joining his newsletter. He lives in fly-over country with his wife, three kids and (yes!) a dog.
