At the age of six years old, living in Whatcom County in Washington State, just shy of the Canadian border, Gabriel Huffman was sat down by his father and read “The Hobbit” by J.R.R. Tolkien. That small event kick-started his lifelong interest in writing fantasy and how the genre could be used beyond its typical bounds. Twenty years and a computer science degree from Western Washington University later, he had all the tools and willpower necessary to finally publish his first short story: “To Face a Lion”. Though writing is his main form of art, he truly just loves being immersed in the joy and wonder of making things and hopes he was able to share a little bit of that joy with you.
