My name is Darien K. Tedder, born June 29th, 1993 in Tampa Florida; however at the age of three, I moved to Atlanta Georgia, which is where I currently reside. I’ve told stories as far back as first grade, one in which was enough to almost get my parents into legal trouble. The story I told was fiction and I got into trouble after the fact, however that is a tale for another day.

I began writing short stories at the age of nine. My first was about a teenage boy who could talk to animals, my second was about the last day of school and an alien invaded the classroom, and my third was about a young girl who was kidnapped while walking home from church. After those stories, I put away writing until I was twelve. My biggest inspiration for writing begun when I discovered the hard rock band, Avenged Sevenfold, in January of 2006. Since then, all of my stories have involved one or all of the members of the band, though most the time, I only use their looks and names, not the fact that they’re in Avenged Sevenfold.
