Roland's Story

Roland Drake was destined to be a writer, ever since he was a small boy. He remembers writing his first short story in the fifth grade. It was a fan fiction episode of the TV show Happy Days, in which Richie, Ralph, Potsie and the Fonz get trapped inside a haunted house! Later in high school, he received accolades for a story called Buried Alive, in which a lonely grave-digger gets trapped inside a coffin and must figure out how to escape. Over the years, Roland submitted science fiction stories to magazines like Asimov’s, Analog, and F&SF, but he received only rejections. Finally, after a long career in Information Technology, Roland’s dream of becoming a science fiction writer came to fruition in 2024 when he self-published the first volume of his Corbo Mallik series, The Cult of Calladon. The rest is history (or soon will be)!
