Harrison Fawkes

The Author

Harrison Fawkes was born in July of 1983, and spent most of his young life growing up in the ever-expanding suburbs of Beaverton, Oregon. His first love of storytelling originated from his extensive imagination and the countless hours he spent as a knight, a commando, or a police officer fighting against the “bad guys” in the empty lot next to his boyhood home, using whatever stick most resembled a sword or gun. Although as a young man he claimed a dislike for books, favoring instead a good film, he quickly learned that the rich tapestry of literature could take you to places that even the best film couldn’t. In the seventh grade his english teacher challenged her class to write a novella and despite the finished result being horrendously written and riddled with errors, the writing bug had bit.

Between the ages of thirteen and twenty-three, he devoted most of his writing to furiously scribbling in notebooks creating worlds, developing characters, and sketching scenes that he knew would likely never do anything more than sit in those notebooks unused. In 2010, he decided it was time to write a novel of his own. Over the next few years he wrote five unpublished novels, to include: two science-fictions, one modern fantasy, one literary fiction, and one dark fantasy. All of these he considered to be practice for the eventual debut novel.

By 2023, the idea for The Maker’s Regret had come to him in the form of a question about magic. Since that moment, the story has taken on a life of its own and demanded to be told. This adventure did more than result in a finished novel ready for publication; it resulted in an addiction for writing the stories that had been brewing in his head since he was a young man.
