I write space adventure stories, while my super secret Urban Fantasy pen name, C. Rene Astle, authors the Bloodborne Pathogens dark fantasy series and associated stories.

I gained a love of fiction, fantasy in particular, and a voracious appetite for story literally at my mother’s knee, being read The Hobbit and Chronicles of Narnia – because those are the types of stories my mom wanted to read.

From my father, I got an enduring curiosity about the universe, earned shivering in the dark beside a telescope on cold, Canadian winter nights waiting to witness some celestial event.

Now I fit in writing between my day job, talking to worms (aka gardening) and getting out to enjoy supernatural British Columbia.
