T. D. Orel is 27 years old and lives with his wife, Chloe, in Huntington Beach, CA. He grew up on a hearty diet of Marvel Comics, Lord of the Rings movie marathons, and pretending he found Saphira's egg instead of that dork, Eragon. When he's not writing he is day dreaming about leading a rebellion against a tyrannical warlord with his friends (or eating nachos).
