W. C. Markarian is a fantasy/sci-fi writer and artist, who enjoys a simple, quiet life in the country with his beautiful family, his eccentric dogs (that might be mistaken for guinea pigs if behavior were more of a factor), and his very feisty hamster. He has an unhealthy love for cookies, peanut butter, chocolate, and coffee—and a penchant for dreaming about gritty characters set in challenging times and volatile worlds.
