⬥ ⬦ ABOUT ⬦ ⬥

I'm Caleb. Hey.

I've been writing since fifth grade. Although you can't see the (very) numerous failed book attempts that led me here, you can see a tiny sliver of my current project: a five-book series called Ignited. I'm mostly using Wattpad as a platform to start gathering fans and launch my series. Not expecting anything nuts, but we'll see how it goes.

My personal favorite way to come up with ideas for my story is to draw inspiration from amazing books, movies, and even video games. Then I take the elements I want to use and put a few flavorful twists into them, so I end up with something fresh and original. That being said, I'm confident that the Ignited story is something entirely new.

As for the story itself, you can expect epic modern fantasy packed with spectacle unlike anything you've ever seen. Though my worldbuilding behind the scenes is extensive, I try to keep it in the background whenever possible (no lengthy exposition prattles from The Smart Guy™). My main focus is ALWAYS on my characters, and I'm confident that once you get to know them, you'll be enraptured by the roller coasters of triumph, defeat, and earth-shaking emotion they'll take you on.

Disclaimer: this ain't yer grandma's The Hobbit story. This is fantasy, but it's rooted deeply in realism. Like the real world, the world of Ignited is sometimes harsh, gritty, and soul-crushing. It's not a story for kids, or folks who prefer to keep swearing and violence out of their reads. Though I wouldn't say the whole story is totally depressing, when the dark moments come, they hit like a sledgehammer to the gut.

TRIGGER WARNING: death, suicide, sexual assault, violence & gore, language

DISCLAIMER: No outright smut ya horny rapscallions

With that lovely stuff out of the way, I can't wait to see what you think! I really hope you enjoy reading Ignited as much as I do writing it. And of course, I'm always open to criticism and advice.

Hasta la vista, baby
