The author Scott Oden was born in North Alabama and from a very young age, he was fascinated with historical and fantastic places. It was his elder brother that introduced him to the savage and staggering vistas of Harold Lamb and Robert E. Howard.

Meanwhile, he had a tempestuous even if brief fling with academia, before he quit to go make a living in the private sector.

As for his biggest influences, Scott Oden cites “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” on which he cut his teeth. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Grimnir Books series, Scott Oden has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres.
