Author Biography

In a deep dream I saw an Alchemist, his back to me, speak an indistinguishable chant to a wilted, dead rose. Instantly it returned to life, radiantly beautiful again. Then the Alchemist spoke in a strange base voice, stating, "I am V"-- and he disappeared. I woke up knowing he wanted me to write his story.
