By day, Lance VanGundy saves lives as an ER physician. By night, he wrangles ancient prophecies, sword-wielding heroes, and the occasional kitchen experiment gone deliciously right. A lifelong lover of fantasy (and proud D&D veteran), Lance finally gave in to the epic story that had been rattling around his brain for decades—and The Rune Fire Cycle was born. His prose is rich, his humor sharp, and his love for the genre runs deeper than a dwarven mine.
Off the page, Lance is a devoted husband (married to his high school sweetheart), proud girl dad, sheepadoodle wrangler, guitar-strummer, and unabashed foodie. Whether he's stitching wounds in the ER or crafting worlds from the drift, Lance brings heart, grit, and a touch of mischief to everything he does. At his core, he’s a storyteller—equal parts Tolkien and dad jokes—and he’s just getting started.
