Jonathan Steinke has loved reading and writing since the age of seven, when he first read "The Lord of The Rings" by JRR Tolkien. Jonathan's desk is covered with a thick stack of drawings of weapons and characters and many other details in his stories. When not working on the trilogy, Jonathan can be found in the living room reading books by Tolkien and others for the umpteenth time. He is 13 years old and lives with his family in Oregon, USA. This is his first book.
