About me:

Let me introduce us, from left to right: Davis Riddle, Brannon Hollingsworth (Ashy), Nathan Ellsworth, and Brannon Hall (Hall)

We are the Wandering Men. Davis, Ashy, and Hall have been friends for many a year, while Nathan is a (relatively) recent additions to the group, but its amazing how well we mesh. Perhaps its the 40 pound packs on our backs and the miles that pass beneath our feet – the trails we faced bound us together.

Its not strange to find a group of men that enjoy backpacking and camping, but its far rarer to find such a group where all of them enjoy writing fantasy as well. We weave plots as we wind up mountain switchbacks, and shape stories as we set the foundations for our nightly fire pit. The two interests define the Wandering Men.

There was a night around a fire when Davis spoke of an idea – a dream: a group of men that not only wander together, but write together. It resonated with me. But I didn't think about it again until Ashy approached us with a job: writing short stories for a Dark Quest compilation. I initially threw the name out jokingly in a few e-mails when talking about us, but it had a power that couldn't be denied.

Just as we faced the trials of the trail together, we crafted Skein of Shadows together. Each of the stories mesh and their plots weave together to build something amazing – the book is creative synergy. None of us could have done it without the other.

We are the Wandering Men.
