Xander Weaver was born in northern Illinois in December of 1975. A lifelong fan of thrillers, mysteries, and science fiction, he wrote all through school but never published until 2014. Creative writing classes were always his favorite. Even outside of the creative writing classroom, he made efforts to turn normal essays into more interesting and enjoyable works of fiction. Often his instructors did not appreciate his creative efforts. Other students, however, looked forward to each writing assignment and each new adventure.
