ⓘ About Dave Willmarth
Dave Willmarth is a science fiction and fantasy author that has been a lifelong fan of anything science fiction and fantasy. Willmarth has also been gaming since the 1970s and has been playing games such as “Dungeons and Dragons,” “Tank” and “Pong” for years. However, the big break was when he discovered the LitRPG/GameLit genre. It opened a whole new world that made it possible to combine fantasy and game elements. While GameLit is a relatively new genre, Dave started writing over three decades ago, when he would write several chapters of fantasy fiction in the evenings after work, even though he never got to finish any of his manuscripts.
