Author biography:

Randall Lemon

Randall took a sabbatical from writing and that period of rest lasted almost three decades. At one time Randall was a regular fixture of the roleplaying community. He was one of the top ranked players from the inception to the end of the RPGA ranking system. He also served as a high ranking tournament judge, marshal and coordinator of various events at Gen Con and other gaming conventions. During that time, he was a frequent contributor to Polyhedron magazine perhaps best remembered for the creation of one of the most beloved establishments in the Living City, “Embrol Sludge’s Eatery and Seashell Shoppe.” Along with a co-author he created the adventure known as “Eye of the Leviathan.” Randall also wrote articles for Video Review Magazine and the Quarterly Journal of Speech.

Hailing from northwest Indiana just across the line from Chicago, Randall graduated from Purdue University with a Bachelor’s degree. While at Purdue he was a winner of the prestigious Purdue Literary Awards contest. He then received his Master’s degree from the University of Southern California and did some work toward the PhD at the University of Illinois. He taught high school for thirty-four years, has two children and a wife, all of whom he loves dearly.

Now Randall has returned to writing. This time he is concentrating on flash fiction and short stories. Having written a play and D&D module working with co-authors, he thought it only appropriate that his first attempt at a novel should involve a group of extremely talented co-authors as well. The novel, “Gryyfon Master: Curse of the Lich King” is now completed.

Randall will have some of his short fiction showcased in numerous anthologies scheduled to come out in 2014 or 2015 and is currently working on a solo attempt at a fantasy novel.
