    My first year as an indie author has given me a lot to celebrate. I released three dark fantasy novels and a collection of short stories. I’ve connected with talented authors and voracious readers I otherwise would never have known. “Jesse Teller is a new voice in Grimdark fantasy, and if you like your books…

    I came from a family of storytellers, I mean, gifted storytellers. They could pick you up and lift you into a tale like none other I have ever known. I apprenticed under them, and it made me the writer I am. I have been telling stories all my life and writing for most of my…

    Tossing and turning with darkness and melancholy on my chest, I rolled out of bed and dressed slowly. It was girls; it was my sister; it was an oppressive home and a bone-deep sadness that held back sleep, but it was also a calling. Something from far away was calling. A yearning, a need, a…

    Dragonsbane. Of all the hundreds of cities in my world, nothing scares me more than the City of Curses, the City of Crime, the city known around Timea for being the darkest, most terrible place to live in all existence. The citizens that people this town, found nestled in the hills of Lorinth, hold onto…

    I remember clear as day the words that came from my fifth grade teacher’s mouth after he told me to write my first short story. The idea had never occurred to me before. I had been a storyteller since I could talk, but I thought I needed some special permission to write a book. Never…

    The king god of all fantastical creatures is irrevocably and without question the Dragon. In my childhood, this creature stole into my dreams, making them a delight and as often a nightmare, for there could be no force quite like a dragon on a rampage.

    Everyone has seen her. We have wept for her. We have wished for her safety. We have fallen in love with her. We have, frankly, often been annoyed by the Damsel in Distress. When it began, no one can say. We called her Andromeda when Perseus killed the leviathan to save her. We knew her…
