From the leatherbound volumes of my notebooks to your screen comes the blog of The Gallowglass Rat…
For a few years now, I have been creating narratives and the means to build stories. Inspired to no end by my own adventures, the writers who came before me, and the well chosen words of the people close to me, I strive to create tales of action and adventure that make folks smile. In the world of Mytyrra, I have created a cradle for my work as a professional Dungeon Master, homebrewing a world for the amusement of no one but myself and my pals. Without expectation of recognition, I toil away crafting elven empires and dragons’ lairs, sharing them here for your perusal. In my short stories, I hope to capture a similar sense of adventure in the science fiction, fantasy, and horror genres. If you’ve only got five minutes, You can find my bite-sized content here!
