ⓘ About James Islington
Author James Islington was born and grew up southern Victoria, Australia. Now, he lives with his wife and daughter in Victoria on the Mornington Peninsula. The authors that influenced him include: Robert Jordan, Raymond E. Feist, Brandon Sanderson (especially the “Mistborn” series), and Patrick Rothfuss (especially “Name of the Wind”). These last two were the two things that made him inspired enough to write something of his own. More to the point, they were able to rekindle that fire for the ideas that he was having; they got him excited about the genre of science fiction and fantasy enough to try out his own story. He had always wanted to write a novel at some point, and enjoyed creative writing as a teenager.
