D. R. R. Hatch

Hatch here! By way of introduction, I’m a Progression Fantasy novelist intent on writing at least six books a year. I’ve written four novels and two novellas already, but they’re in another genre entirely. I steer more towards the epic side of things, thanks to my love of Tolkien and Sanderson, but every one of my books are, at their core, progressive. There’s a lot I could say about myself, but let me boil everything down to the basics . . .

I was born in Hollywood, I lived in a treehouse during the pandemic, my favorite anime is "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind" (or "Castle in the Sky"), two of the coolest prophets were Elijah and his apprentice Elisha (the former rode a friggin’ flaming chariot into heaven!), and the best SNES game of all time is "Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars."

I have a nest of draconic hatchlings in my kitchen, a full grown chocobo in my backyard, and a giant multicolored egg on the roof. My hope is to one day fill my home with fantastic beasts of every kind, then move out to the countryside and start up a preserve for magical creatures. Most of them are endangered (as you are well aware) and it is my hope to keep them from fading out of existence.
