About Dusty…
Dusty Monk is a veteran game developer who’s had the opportunity to work in some of the world’s biggest franchises, including Age of Empires, and Halo. After over twenty years of building fantasy worlds in video games, he wanted to create a world of his own. Out of that desire and his deep love for fantasy was born the world of Athania and Sera’s Arrow. Dusty lives in McKinney, TX, with his incredibly supportive wife where he still builds games for his day job and spends way too much time on social media.
Now that the stuffy 3rd person bio is out of the way, here’s a bit more about yours truly. I really have been making games for over two decades. But I’ve always been a reader, and lover of fiction — especially high fantasy. I grew up not just on Tolkien, but the likes of Weis and Hickman, R.A. Salvatore, and David Eddings. When I’m not making and playing games or reading, I’m spending time outdoors with my wife. We both love camping and hiking, and have recently become RV’ers, which is a whole new adventure!
I ditched X (formerly Twitter), but you can always find me on Threads and Instagram at @Dusty.Monk, and you can e-mail me at dmonk@dustymonkauthor.com. I hope you come with me on this journey along with Eradorn and Celina and come to love them and the world of Athania as much as I do. I have many more stories to tell!
