My name is Duncan Gill. I was born in England, in Hemel Hemstead July 1987. I grew up in Pembrokeshire along the coastline and studied Art and Design/Graphic Communication in College and University for six years. I've worked in many industries, from farming, catering, hospitality, retail, administration, agriculture, teaching and film, where I served as an editor and lead runner for H Productions, but my true passion has and always will be with The Ancestral Odyssey, an epic fantasy series that has become my life's work.
 
Naturally, I have always had a love of fantasy in all its forms, from medieval to everything science fiction, particularly horror. For as long as I can remember I've always had a very vivid imagination, one that never let me rest and hungered for more, for something wild, beautiful, dangerous, colourful, dark, and otherworldly. I'm inspired by epic stories found in books, in games and in films. I love exploring the unknown and understanding the complexities of our hero's, human or otherwise therein. Studying our origin stories, weaving through our own history, and breaking down mythologies is in essence the main source of my creativity, and should you decide to indulge in The Ancestral Odyssey, I feel like this will come across rather swiftly.
 
My goal is to bring readers and creatives such as yourself something new, something that incapsulates what epic fantasy is at its core and to push the genre into bold new territories, to redefine the genre as a whole. Whether I succeed in this endeavour is up to you.
