Todd Mika (born 1985) is a fantasy writer based out of the American Midwest. As a young boy, he was captivated by classic literature: Longfellow's musings, Poe's madness, Tolstoy's lamentations, Dickens' tales, Shakespeare's sonnets, and Doyle's mysteries. In 2015, he created Grimmgard for an original roleplaying game book, but his debut fiction — 𝘛𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘎𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘥: 𝘈𝘯 𝘈𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘍𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘺 — welcomed readers to their first journey into the alluring but gruesome realm of Grimmgard. Since then, the Grimmgard world has grown, with the completion of the Heirs Duology in 2026.
