Not Godless Corporations!

Ian is not a corporation!

"Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; truth isn't.” —— Some guy named Mark from Missouri.

This is Ian ————————————>

Not a life-sized depiction. Ian is not truly trapped inside of your computer and/or phone. ——————————————>

Ian must evade his legions of fanatical fans, all the time.

Ian lives in a humble abode in Midwest America with his adorable cat, Jinx. He's written for years, from short stories to screenplays, and now books. After an envisioned career in the NFL didn't work out, only due to a knee injury, he had a variety of jobs over the years. From working on Gubernatorial Campaigns to selling Missouri timeshares in a mall for a week, Ian has had several illustrious careers. Now, he's decided to write novels. Ian is an amateur historian, an avid reader, and a huge Warhammer 40k nerd. He has several works in progress, so readers can expect more works to come! He enjoys sports and still regrets the rugby match that took away his rightful destiny as a Hall of Fame Green Bay Packer. Once he reached his twilight years at age thirty-one, he decided to retire. Nowadays, Ian can be found sitting by the fireplace in a comfortable robe, contemplating life, taking drags from a corn-cob pipe in a Tolkienesque fashion. Like Professor Tolkien, he usually reflects upon the great literary works of Space Marines in the 41st Millennium.

This is not Ian, but a relatively unknown writer whom Ian has influenced.
