Cole Swole
Hello, I'm Cole Swole, the author of The Shadow Chronicles, a bestselling fantasy trilogy that has captivated millions of readers around the world. I'm also working on a new series, The Dragon Riders, which will be released soon.
I've always loved reading and writing stories, ever since I was a kid. I grew up in a small town in Oregon, where I spent most of my time imagining adventures in faraway lands. I was inspired by authors like J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and J.K. Rowling, who created rich and immersive worlds that I wanted to explore.
I started writing Shadow Chronicles in 2018, after I had a vivid dream about a young thief who stole a magical crown from a palace. I was intrigued by the idea and decided to turn it into a story. I wanted to create a fantasy world that was dark and gritty, but also full of hope and heroism. I wanted to write about characters who were flawed and complex, but also brave and loyal. I wanted to write a story that would thrill and inspire my readers.
Shadow Chronicles has been a labor of love for me, and I'm grateful for the support and feedback I've received from my fans. I'm also excited to share with you my new series, Dragon Riders, which is set in a different world, but with the same spirit of adventure and magic. It follows the adventures of a group of young warriors who bond with dragons and fight against an evil empire. I hope you'll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Thank you for visiting my website, and happy reading!
