Charles Moffat

Charles Moffat is a fantasy author based in Toronto, Canada who has been publishing both fiction and non-fiction for over three decades.

Moffat is influenced by authors David Eddings (The Belgariad and The Malloreon), Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman (co-authors of Dragonlance), Ursula Le Guin (Earthsea), J. R. R. Tolkien (The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings), Robert E. Howard (Conan the Barbarian), Stephen King, and George R. R. Martin (A Song of Ice and Fire).

Since 1999 Moffat has mostly been writing fantasy set in the fictional kingdom of Korovia, a pseudo-Slavic kingdom that mixes a variety of fantasy elements common to Sword & Sorcery, Slavic folklore, Dark Fantasy, Heroic Fantasy and other fantasy subgenres. He has multiple series of books set in Korovia:

× The Adventures of Wrathgar (Heroic Fantasy)

× The Adventures of the Bogatyr (Sword & Sorcery)

× The Chronicles of Korovia (Heroic Fantasy)

× The Lilith Bloodstone Series (Dark Fantasy)

× The Wulfric the Wanderer Series (Sword & Sorcery)

Moffat also has a separate series of stories set on "Alt-Earth", which features alternative history, historical fiction, historical fantasy, urban fantasy, AfroFantasy, contemporary action/adventure, spy thrillers, and weird westerns. This series includes the following books:

× Hunting Hitler (Alternative History, Spy Thriller)

× The Dragontree of Kaŝe (AfroFantasy, Urban Fantasy)

× The Dragonslayers of Kaŝe (AfroFantasy, Urban Fantasy)

× The Girl in the Red Hoodie (Alternative History, Action/Adventure)

Outside of his writing career, Moffat works as an archery instructor in Toronto, Canada, and publishes non-fiction in archery magazines. This in turn has influenced how he prefers to depict archery and bowhunting in a realistic manner. For readers who appreciate realism in their archery/storytelling, "The Adventures of Wrathgar" series is made specifically for archers.

Charles Moffat lives in Toronto with his wife and two sons. He enjoys fishing, bow making and woodworking.
