Anthony LaRiva is the aspiring author of Dark Moon Rising, the first novel in the Saga of Storm trilogy that he began writing in college. Having switched careers to focus fully on pursuing his passion of writing epic, high-fantasy literature, Anthony calls the Colorado front-range his place of work and home. History has served as a major source of his inspirations, and he does his best writing among the beatific landmarks of our world. Vikingdom dominates his fresh and intricate Stormborne world. The histories, myths, and legends of that violent time alongside those of late antiquity and early medieval Europe gift unequivocable life to his stark tale of the Ehrlich family and the many challenges they face.
