A. J. Carlisle holds a Ph.D. in medieval European history, with varied interests that include the Crusades of 1095-1291, theology and philosophy of the Middle Ages, and the Mediterranean Worlds of Late Antiquity.

Inspired since childhood by the works of J.R.R. Tolkien & C.S. Lewis, his hope is to reboot and universalize the epic fantasy genre by bringing to a global audience a unique blend of Norse mythology, Arthurian legends, international folklores & heroes (and villains) drawn from all parts of the medieval world!

Carlisle lives in the United States with his wife and children.
